- (1.)THE step motherly treatment given to the experts in languages appears to be all pervasive. If the popularity of the Indian languages is on the decline, it is not without reason. These two writ petitions present a part of the scenario.
(2.)THE Department of Telecommunications thought it fit to have a separate wing or establishment for promotion of Hindi Language. The posts, such as Hindi translator Grade-I, II and III, were created. The next higher post was Hindi Officer.
(3.)THE petitioners herein were appointed as Hindi Translators in different grades. Administrative Orders were issued, from time to time, stipulating the guidelines for promotion to the higher post. One such order was issued on 28. 04. 1994, which provided that Hindi Translators Grade-I, II and III, shall be entitled to be promoted automatically to the post of Hindi Officer, on completion of 3, 5, and 8 years of service respectively.
