JUDGMENT

Rajiv Narain Raina, J. - This order will dispose of the above mentioned writ petition as well as other connected writ petitions tabulated at the foot of the order (numbering 101 cases) even though some of them present different facets involving in one or more forms the question whether to count ad hoc service towards different service entitlements such as Additional Increment, Higher Standard Pay Scale, ACP Pay Scale and Seniority as the main focus to claim these cascading reliefs sought by the petitioners in this bunch of cases.

2. Many of these cases involve appointments initially made by calling names from the employment exchange, while some of them were by public advertisements and selection made through localized Selection Committees at the department level.
