22. According to. the respondents, absorption of the applicant in the post of Sr. Stenographer was contrary to Recruitment Rules, 2000 as it is explicitly clear that the composition of. the said DPC was made contrary to the Recruitment RUles, 2000 as two out of the three members of the DPC was not eligible to act as members. That apart, the method of recruitmehf for the post of Sr. Stenographer is by way of promotion, failing which by deputation. But in this case, the \ t\ ' ci borrowing depart.rnet' wit hQ a.sorbingthe. applicant in the post of Jr Sfenogphe s'alof Rs4000-6000/- where LE he joined on deputati absored him in the higher.post of Sr. Stengap: ntbwpay-scale of Rs.5000-8000/-.

\. .

This had unfortunjly'renderee.-absorpfion of the applicant infructuous void ab nitiobnduntenable in law as per the said Recruitment Rules, 2000. The mistake if allowed to be continued, it will give rise to continued grant of illegitimate and undue benefit to the.:.; applicant. According to the respondents, the administrative error which was detected subsequently was set at right vide the impugned order dated 2/6.06.2017.

23. . Be that as it may, this court cannot wash out or inore the, fact that the applicant had rendered almost ten .years of 18 1f OA.350/0084912O17 with MA.350/0096/201 8 service under the respondent no.3. On completion of three years of service on deputations the applicant has sought permanent absorption in the borrowing department. It is also an admitted fact thdt services of the applicant were found to be satisfOctory as wasevident from the minutes of the DPC dated 24,08,2007. The applicant had already been released from his parent department w.e.f. 02.09.2007 (AN). Since then, the applicant had rendered almost ten years ..,of 1 service in the borrowing department The apiian ttQve' been absorbed in the

I .iagaflflathAChYUt Karandikar, .1989 Supp (1) SCC 3.3, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has held that making employees to suffer adversely for the default or lapse on the part of the Government itself, would be unjust unreasonable and arbitrary.

24. '. in view of the entire conspectus of the case, I am of the considered opinion that ratio laid down in the case of, J-agannath Achyut Karandikar (supra) is applicable in the facts 19. :.7 OA.350/00849/2017 with MA.350/001 96/2018 and circumstances of the present case and, therefore, if no protection is given to the applicant1 he will suffer irreparable loss in his service career for no fault of his own. Accordingly, I direct the respondent no.3 to reinstate the applicant in the post of Jr. Stenographer forthwith and absorb him in the post of Jr. Stenographer w.e.f. 03.09.2007 (forenoon) on which date he earlier was dbsorbed in the post of Sr. Stenographer on completed of three years. o yice on deputation.
