Union Of India & Ors vs N.R. Banerjee & Ors on 16 December, 1996
9. We may observe that the effect of model calendar for DPC vide
DOPT's OM dated 08.09.1998 is applicable only for DPCs normally held
for vacancies arises on year to year basis and are filled purely by
considering the annual confidential reports of the employees. Whereas in
the present case the promotion of the applicant was through the channel
of LDCE for which the model calendar for DPC is not applicable.
Therefore, the reliance placed by the learned counsel for the applicant on
the decisions of N.R.Banerjee (supra) and G.S.Bedi (supra) is not
applicable in the present case as we find that in both the cases the
promotion of the applicants solely based on their performance in the
annual confidential reports and not on passing of any LDCE, and as such
these judgments cannot strengthen/ buttress the claim of the applicant for
antedating his promotion. The promotion of the applicant to the post of
Head Clerk was made by his passing the LDCE and not by considering
his ACRs.
