(3.)The Petitioner was appointed as Female Supervisor prior to Rajasthan Women & Child Development (State & Subordinate) Service Rules, 1998 ("Rules, 1998") came into force. Her grievance was that she has not been granted selection scales in terms of Finance Department's Circular dt. 25.1.1992- as per para 4 whereof, 1st selection scale of next promotional in same service/cadre shall be payable on completion of 9 years' service- in instant case, of Assistant Child Development Project Officer ("ACDPO") in pay scale of Rs. 1640-2900/- (subsequently revised Rs. 5500-175-9000) being the first promotional post; and various Female Supervisors were promoted as ACDPO in pay scale of Rs. 1640-2900/- and ACDP Os were further promoted as Child Development Project Officers ("CDP Os") in pay scale of Rs. 2000-3200/-. Upon representations having been made by Female Supervisors, State Government fixed them in pay scale of Rs. 1400-2600/- which in fact was lower to pay scale of Rs. 1640-2900/- of the post of ACDPO, vide order dt. 20.4.1996, which was assailed by the similarly situated persons by way of appeal 83/1998 which was decided vide judgment dt. 27.7.1998, wherein the learned Tribunal observed that channel of promotion from the post of Female Supervisor was to the post of ACDPO; and on completion of nine years' service, she is entitled for first selection scale of pay scale of Rs. 164-2900/- and the order dt. 20.4.1996 was accordingly modified. However, it was made clear that what has been observed by learned tribunal while disposing of appeal will be subject to promotional channel to be provided under the Rules pending finalization.
