Indisputably, the issue raised in these Petitions is squarely covered by the orders passed this Court (Coram: Mangesh S. Patil and Sandeep V. Marne, JJ.), in Writ Petition No.9967 of 2021 and connected matters and (Coram : Ravindra V. Ghuge and Ashwin D. Bhobe, JJ.) in Writ Petition No. 10947 of 2022. 2. For the reasons stated in the said orders, the Writ Petitions are disposed of with the declaration that Government Resolution dated 24th August, 2017 would apply prospectively. The Petitioners are held to be eligible for grant of advance increments for outstanding work, prior to 24.08.2017. Since the Petitioners are not claiming interest, all consequential benefits be calculated by adding up the said advance increments. Since some of the Petitioners have superannuated, all consequential benefits post recalculation, be paid to the Petitioners within 90 days. (ABASAHEB D. SHINDE, J.) (NITIN B. SURYAWANSHI, J.) Narwade
