As per case facts, multiple Writ Petitions were filed seeking promotional increments after 23 years of regular service, along with interest, based on departmental instructions and previous High Court judgments. ... The Respondents argued that promotional increments are granted via executive circulars, and Petitioners must meet eligibility criteria, especially from a 2011 circular. The question arose whether petitioners are entitled to the 3rd promotional increment after 23 years of service and if the State should repeatedly litigate settled matters despite its Litigation Policy. Finally, the High Court, observing that similar issues are settled, directed the Petitioners to submit representations to an Empowered Committee within one month, which must adjudicate claims with reasoned orders within three months, considering prior judgments. Similarly situated employees can also approach this Committee, which should resolve the matter in a time-bound manner, ending endless litigation.
