The Court distinguished promotion from confirmation and held that once Assistant Engineers were regularly appointed to officiate as Executive Engineers within quota, seniority in the higher grade ran from that officiating appointment, subject to the stated reservation for officers promoted before confirmation in the lower class. It further held that the quota rule applied when vacancies were first filled by officiating appointments and covered vacancies in both permanent and temporary posts within the sanctioned cadre, excluding only fortuitous vacancies. The revised seniority had therefore to be prepared on that basis, with excess appointments adjusted against later quota years. en-us Wed, 11 Dec 1974 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 15:48:12 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=169434 Senior service rank in a higher engineering grade was linked to regular officiating promotion within the lawful quota, not to later confirmation.
