JUDGMENT Rajiv Sharma, J.(Oral)-Petitioner has not been granted the benefit of Assured Career Progression Scheme after putting in requisite number of 16 years. He is also aggrieved by the non-grant of leave encashment of 12 days earned by him with effect from 9.9.2002 to 31.1.2003. The case of respondent-corporation, in a nutshell, is that case of the petitioner was considered for the grant of Assured Career Progression Scheme, but the Committee had opined that his 50% service record was not adjudged good and he could not be granted the monetary benefit. In other words, case was rejected by the competent authority on 10.11.2003. He was entitled to get the benefit of Assured Career Progression Scheme in the year 2001. 2. He has been promoted to the post of Chief Inspector in the month of May, 2002. It suggests that petitioner was found suitable and his record was scrutinized thoroughly before he was promoted. 3.
