(3). This order appears to be merely a posting order, of Assistant Sanitary Inspector Shri kalla to the post of Sanitary Inspector Shri Kalla to the post of Sanitary Jamadar, who had earlier been appointed as Incharge of the Slaughter House by order dated 30.04.1990 (Annx.7). Treating it to be an order of reversion from the post of Assistant Sanitary Inspector to Sanitary jamadar, without following the procedure for reversion, which could take place only after holding of an inquiry by way of punishment of disclosing any other reason, on account of which petitioner was asked to discharge the functions of Jamadar instead of Assistant Sanitary Inspector, for which he has been granted promotion since 17.4.1984, the petitioner filed Writ Petition No. 6311/91. The operation of the order dated 20.11.1991 was stayed and the petitioner continued to serve as Assistant Sanitary Inspector until he superannuated on 31.5.1997 on attaining the age of 58 years vide communication date 30.5.1997 (Annx.11).

(4). When the matter came up before the Court on 22.04.1998, learned counsel for the respondents stated that since the petitioner has already retired form service, he can make proper application to the competent authority, who shall decide the point in accordance with law at the earliest. In view of this statement, petition was disposed of, with direction- ``petitioner is directed to make suitable application to the competent authority within one month from today and on receiving the same, the competent authority shall decide the same within 3 months form the date of receipt thereof. The authority shall decide the same in accordance with law by keeping in mind the fact that this Court has passed the interim order in his favour and he was allowed to work and also retired on the post of Assistant Sanitary Inspector, coupled with the fact that he was continued on the post from 1984 till January, 1992.

(5). In pursuance of this order, appellant-petitioner moved an application before he competent authority on May 04, 1998 stating that he has continued on the post from 1984 to 31.05.1997, date on which he retired; therefore, he may be allowed salary and other benefits of the post of Assistant Sanitary Inspector right from 1984 and thereafter to make necessary fixation including fixation and payment subsequent to period when regularisation was done, till his retirement. This application was rejected on 20.07.1998 vide Annx. 14 by holding that at the relevant time when petitioner was promoted on the post of Assistant Sanitary Inspector, he was lower in seniority and could not have been so promoted and, inter alia, on the ground that petitioner-appellant was first appointed for the period of one year on 17.4.1984 on and hoc basis as Assistant Sanitary Inspector and by order dated 5.11.1986, said order was cancelled and he was posted on his original post of jamadar. However, reply also stated that after order dated 5.11.1986, he was again posted against vacant post of Assistant Sanitary Inspector with effect from 23.11.1986 for a period of 6 months. There is nothing on record that after 23.11.1986, appellant-petitioner was reverted back on the post of Jamadar, either from the material produced before the Court or otherwise.
