Jagmohan Lal Sharma, regarding which learned State counsel refers to para 8 of the merits of the written statement dated 23.01.2004, wherein it has been stated that there is no relevancy to the said case on account of the fact that he was promoted/posted as Superintendent in the Directorate Office on 12.04.1990 prior to issuance of Punjab Govt. Notification dated 15.06.1990, whereas the petitioner was posted in circle office on 03.10.1994, thus, the aforesaid notification was binding upon him and not entitled to additional increment by virtue of his posting in the said office, to which there is no rebuttal by filing any replication. 3.
