ORDER (ORAL)
11.05.2026 C. HARI SHANKAR, J.
JUDGMENT
1. This writ petition assails judgment dated 9 August 2024 passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal[1] in OA 583/2023.
2. In view of the developments which have taken place during the “Tribunal” hereinafter currency of these proceedings before this Court, it is not necessary for us to advert in detail to the dispute between the parties. Suffice it to state that the petitioner was aggrieved by the marking given to him by the Union Public Service Commission for his Annual Confidential Reports[2]. The petitioner’s case was that he was entitled to be given 4 marks for his ACRs which would have entitled him to induction in the post of Medical Officer (Homeopathy) in the GNCTD.
3. This position was conceded by the GNCTD before this Court as is recorded on 17 December 2025. The order passed by this Court on the said date reads as under:
4. All that remains, therefore, is for the Court to ascertain the year from which the petitioner would be entitled to be inducted as Medical “ACR” hereinafter Officer (Homeopathy).
5. The afore-extracted order dated 17 December 2025 notes that the respondent had agreed to the induction of the petitioner as Medical Officer (Homeopathy) from the date of initial constitution of service in 2009. However, by a subsequent order dated 10 February 2026, this Court clarified that the reference to “2009” in the order dated 17 December 2025 was a typographical error and corrected “2009” to “2007”.
6. Mr. N.K. Singh, learned Counsel for the respondents, submits that the respondents are willing to treat the induction of the petitioner as Medical Officer (Homeopathy) in the GNCTD with effect from
2007.
7. Learned Counsel for the petitioner Dr. Monica Arora, on instructions, submits that her client is also agreeable to this course of action.
8. As such, no dispute survives for adjudication by this Court.
9. It is clarified that the petitioner would be entitled to be inducted as Medical Officer (Homeopathy) in the GNCTD with effect from
2007.
10. The petitioner would be entitled to consequential benefits in accordance with law.
11. The writ petition stands disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
