29. Thus there is a special di stinction made in the nature of supernumerary posts created by virtue of Hon'ble Apex Court order dated 29.10.1991 vis-a-vis supernumerary posts generally created in Govt. Departments in that, these supernumerary posts created because of 29.10.1991 order, have to be implemented in such a way that respondents do not disturb the rest of the provisions of 29.10.1991 orders viz. the promotion of regular doctors in the existing vacancies by harmonious reading of the order in its entirety and holistic implementation in toto. Therefore, the respondents will have to realise the deviation they are making from the road map given by Hon'ble Apex Court upholding equity between the two contending groups of regular and regularised doctors, when they claim that they are not in wrong by posting regularised doctors in regular existing vacancy, such as the one they had done by appointing respondent No. 3 in the existing vacancy as Additional Director, CGHS, Chennai because the said decision of the respondents has directly affected the promotion prospect of regular doctors in their line in the existing vacancies. According to the Hon'ble Apex Court order of 29.10.1991, the regularised doctors and regular doctors have to get the benefit of promotion in their own line, based on their respectiveseniority lists and the regularised doctors posting after promotion to a supernumerary post, in the existing vacancy, being an impediment for the promotion prospects of regular doctors as discussed supra, also to be noticed as affecting the promotion prospects of the regularised doctors too in view of the formula ordered by the Hon'ble Apex Court dated 29.10.1991. Looking at the issue herein as one of 'posting and transfer' and not one of promotion is clearly an aspect of ostrich approach of ignoring its ramifications on 'promotion' in the lightof the Hon'ble Apex Court's order dated 29.10.1991 on the promotion of regular doctors as also that of the regularised doctors.
