The appointment in 1968 was made under temporary government sanction and was not an appointment in accordance with the governing recruitment rules for Class III posts. Regular service arose only after the Special Rules were framed under Article 309 and the employee was regularised on 26 October 1971. Prior service before that date was not qualifying service for seniority, so seniority had to be reckoned only from the date of regular appointment. en-us Fri, 05 Mar 1993 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 27 May 2015 12:23:04 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=170413 Service rendered under an ad hoc or irregular local-candidate arrangement before regularisation under the Special Rules of 1970 could not be counted for cadre seniority.
