In Bhoop Vs. Matadin Bhardwaj (1991) 2 SCC 128 and in Nirmal
Chandra Bhattacharjee Vs. Union of India (1991) Supp. (2) SCC 363,
the Apex Court had taken the stand that the mistake or delay on the part of
the department should not be permitted to recoil on the party. In the present
case, the applicants are made to suffer solely on account of the illegal
abolition of posts right from 2003 onwards.
