Summary:
The petitioners, serving as officiating Lower Division Clerks (LDCs) for over 17 years, sought regularization, restoration of original pay scales, pensionary benefits, and promotion benefits. The Court held that the matter was one of equality and consistency, not service terms, therefore not barred by Article 212. Relying on prior High Court and Supreme Court judgments, the petition was allowed, and respondents were directed to treat the petitioners as regular LDCs from the date they held the post on an officiating basis and grant all consequential benefits.
