(ORAL) In the present writ petition, the claim which is being made by the petitioners is that when they are granted the promotion to the post of Sub-Division Officer or the Executive Engineer, as the case may be, they were not granted any benefit of increment on the ground that they were already drawing the salary more in the feeder cadre than they could have got while fixing their salary in the promoted cadre. Counsel for the petitioners further states that instructions (Annexure P-1) have been issued by the Government of Haryana on 15.03.2018 that on promotion at least one increment is to be granted to every employee even if he was drawing more salary in a feeder cadre, than the salary of the promoted post.
