    The Delhi High Court dismissed the review petition filed by the Directorate of Publicity and Public Relations, upholding its earlier order that Asha Sharma's 1975 appointment as IBM Typist constituted direct recruitment rather than promotion. The court rejected the petitioner's argument that the appointment should be classified as promotion, holding that since the recruitment zone was open to all qualified departmental candidates—not confined to the feeder cadre of LDC—the appointment was properly characterized as direct recruitment, thereby entitling Sharma to financial benefits (ACP) granted to similarly-situated junior employees.
