1. Special leave granted limited to the question whether the principle of continuous officiation upon
which the Central Administrative Tribunal has directed inter se seniority to be determined as
between direct recruits and promotees to the posts of Assistant Grade IV of the service conflicts
with sub-rule (6) of Rule 16 of the Armed Forces Headquarters Civil Service Rules, 1968 which
relates to determination of inter se seniority of the direct recruits. Rest of the grounds are dismissed.

2. Preparation of record etc. dispensed with. Appeal will be heard on the present SLP paper books.
Additional documents, if any, shall be filed within eight weeks from today. Hearing expedited. Short
Point. Liberty to mention.

3. Further promotions shall be subject to the result of the appeal.

4. Interim stay reversion pending notice unless already effected. This shall not stand in the way of
promotion. Notice is returnable on October 16, 1986.

Court Master.
