Service Matter – Assured Career Progression – Very object and purpose of ACP is purely with a view to ward off stagnation and is purely placing of an employee in the next higher pay-scale by granting special financial benefit which is purely on personal basis without having much relevance to the seniority and it is simiplicitor on the basis of “performance of an employee” which is guiding star for grant or denial of such an benefits – There are serious criminal charges resulting in conviction of the petitioner over the allegations of corruption criminal breach of trust forgery etc and which judgment of conviction still holds good it would be too preposterous for the petitioner to have ventured into this claim of seeking 14 years of ACP which is the sole prerogative of the respondents and the Court need not interfere in the same unless and until prima facie it is a case of gross miscarriage of justice.
