ORDER
Heard learned counsel for the parties.
It appears that the applicant was not mustered on due date i.e. one year after the enrolment as he was deployed in ‘OP PRAKARAM’ whereas personnel, who were in the peace area, were attested/mustered on the due date that is one year from the enrolment.
Respondent No.3 is directed to file an affidavit explaining the reasons for delay in mustering, which was to be done within one year from the date of attestation, which resulted in delayed increment/less fixation of pay and consequent lower pension to the applicant than the personnel junior to him, before the next date of hearing.
Respondent No. 3 to also explain what was done for all the personnel, who were deployed in field area to meet the timeline of mustering within one year from the date of attestation and to avoid such a grievance in their case.
Adjourned to 18.01.2027.
A copy of this order be given dasti to learned counsel for the parties on payment of usual charges.
