New Delhi, Jan 4 (PTI) Even a notional promotion accorded to a government servant cannot be bereft of its consequential monetary benefits, including pension and arrears, the Central Administrative Tribunal has ruled.
"If a wrong is done, consequential benefits must be given on notional promotion," said the CAT's Delhi-based principal bench, while asking Delhi Police to accord all pecuniary benefits to one of its officials, who had been earlier given notional promotion by it after his retirement.
The CAT's principal bench gave this ruling on an appeal by Assistant Sub-Inspector Ishwar Singh of Delhi Police, who had lost his job following his conviction by a trial court in a criminal case, but was eventually acquitted by the Supreme Court, albeit after August 2005, when he had already crossed his age of retirement.
Following his acquittal, the Delhi Police, in April 2008 notionally restored his services for the purpose of grant of pensions etc
