Dear Abhay,
First of all, before you expect a proper reply from the experts, you may need to check whether the retrospective effect to the Standing Orders was given by the HAL on its own without any judgment by any court in favour of those employees or in compliance with any such court order or CAT orders for changing the qualifying standards of the concerned employees?
