In view of the implementation of the directions issued by this Court in O.P. 45/02 and CCC 1475/03 in the matter of notional promotion, it is made clear that the 3rd respondent will affect the promotions with effect from the date of availability of the vacancies against the reserved quota.

A similar treatment will be given to the teachers in all other subjects also.
