Kailash Chand Pandey vs Uoi And Ors on 21 November, 2023
7. The petitioner herein had completed one full year
service as on 30.06.2013, but the increment fell due
on 01.07.2013, on which date he was not in service.
In view of the above judgment of this Court, naturally
he has to be treated as having completed one full year
of service, though the date of increment falls on the
next day of his retirement. Applying the said judgment
to the present case, the writ petition is allowed and
the impugned order passed by the first respondent-
Tribunal dated 21.03.2017 is quashed. The petitioner
shall be given one notional increment for the period
from 01.07.2012 to 30.06.2013, as he has completed
one full year of service, though his increment fell on
01.07.2013, for the purpose of pensionary benefits
and not for any other purpose. No costs."
