HC issues notice to PGI director

In his petition, Santok Singh had alleged that quot;notwithstanding the specific order of the High Court and the dismissal of the LPA against itquot;, the same had not been complied with.

Going into the background of the case, the counsel for the petitioner had stated that the High Court had directed the PGI to make regular promotion in accordance with law, to the post of assistant engineer technologist grade-I, within three months, quot;considering only those employees who were eligible on the date when the post fell vacantquot;.

The PGI, the counsel had added, was also quot;directed to pay the petitioner a salary of higher post with effect from the date when he worked against that post after deducting the amount paid to himquot;.
