1. They are heard.

2. The present petition is filed by the petitioner challenging the part of order dated 4.1.2007, Annexure P/l. By this order, the respondents have given promotion to the petitioner as Ticket Examiner with effect from 26.2.1983. It is also directed by the respondents that the petitioner will be given notional promotion on the aforesaid post from 26.2.1993. It is also stated in the order that after promotion of the petitioner with effect from 26.2.1993 as Ticket Examiner, the petitioner shall not claim any future promotion on that basis. This part of the order is being challenged by the petitioner.

3. It is contended on behalf of the petitioner that the aforesaid order of promotion was passed on the basis of a judgment passed by this Court in W.P. No. 858/93 decided by this Court on 31'st October, 1994. It is to be seen that once a proforma promotion has been given to the petitioner as Ticket Examiner from 26.2.1993 then the petitioner shall certainly be entitled to claim the seniority and other consequential benefits excluding the monetary benefits from the date the notional benefit is given on promotion as Ticket Examiner with effect from 26.2.1
