TRIBHUVAN DAHIYA J. (ORAL):
The petition has been filed, inter alia, seeking a writ of mandamus directing the respondents to give selection grade to the petitioners on completion of eighteen years service by taking into account ad hoc service rendered by them.

2.

A perusal of the record shows that the petitioners' case granting selection grade by counting ad hoc service was rejected vide office order dated 16.10.1994, Annexure P-7, on the basis of Instructions dated 30.6.1993, Annexure P-3. Still, neither of the two is under challenge. 3.

Further, learned State counsel contends that the issue at hand stands settled by the Supreme Court in State of Haryana v. Haryana Veterinary and AHTS Association 2000 (8) SCC 4, holding that ad hoc service is not to be counted for grant of selection grade, and the employees become eligible for it only on the basis of regular service.
