JUDGMENT

(Judgment of the Court was made by S.SRIMATHY, J.) This intra-court appeal is filed as against the order dated 08.08.2024 made in W.P.(MD)No.13072 of 2021.

2.The order directing the appellants herein to confer all consequential benefits to the first respondent for acquiring higher educational qualification is put under challenge in this writ appeal.

3.The issue raised in this writ appeal has already been settled. Hence, the order of the writ Court cannot be interfered. 4.At this juncture, the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the appellants submits that the date, from which the increment should be conferred to the writ petitioner, has not been specifically in the order passed by this Court. Hence, to that extent, he seeks modification of the order passed by the learned Single Judge.

2/4

5.Admittedly, there is no specific reference about the date from which the writ petitioner has to be conferred with the benefits. Therefore, we direct the appellants herein to grant incentive increment to the writ petitioner from the date of Government Order issued in this regard, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The order of the learned Single Judge is modified only to the extent stated above.

6.With the above modification, this writ appeal is disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. (J.N.B.,J.) (S.S.Y.,J.) 27.03.2025 Index : Yes/No Internet : Yes/No ta 3/4
