appointment i.e. 01.07.2011. The increment has not been given to the petitioner on the ground that the petitioner has not passed the typing examination
from the recognized board.

minimum educational qualification for the post of Assistant Grade-III and the requirement prescribed was, passing of (10+2) Board examination from
a recognized board and having one year diploma certificate from a recognized institution for the post of Data Entry Operation/Programming.
3. The other requirement was the knowledge of Hindi typing on computer of 5000 keys depression per hour. Thus, there was no requirement of the
candidate for passing the Typing examination from a recognized board.
4. Subsequently, the District Education Officer vide Annexure P/4 dated 10.08.2018 has also passed a order in this regard again relying upon the order
passed by the General Administration Department and later on the Department, where the petitioner was working had also forwarded the case of the
petitioner for grant of increment in the light of the order/circular of the General Administration Department, but till date, the same has not been
implemented or released to the petitioner.

providing the benefit attached thereto.

the same stands implemented and since there is already an order passed in favour of the petitioner by the District Education Officer on 10.08.2018,
there is no further requirement of any further adjudication in the order.

No.2 to ensure that the order dated 10.08.2018, passed by the District Education Officer in the light of the government instructions/circular issued by
the General Administration Department on 22.01.2018 is complied with.
