The hearing on the stay order issued by CAT Mumbai for publication of Grp-A RRs came up for hearing on 06.01.16. Both the Counsels (for the Board and for the UPSC) argued tooth and nail to impress upon the CAT to vacate the Stay. During arguments, matter came up regarding the proposal of Cadre Restructuring, approval of CR, issuance of orders of Group-A including 2118 Temporary posts, various instructions of DoPT & correspondence of UPSC on holding of DPC. Counsel for the Respondents dramatized the moment to impress upon the Bench that the officers promoted to these Temporary posts were in no way deprived/aggrieved by the proposed Gr-A RRs, and requested for squashing of the Original Application. On being specifically asked by the CAT Bench to both the Counsels whether they can publish the Gr-A RRs without inclusion of these temporary posts of Assistant Commissioner, as mentioned in Draft proposal at Grade-IX(Temp AC) in a piece-meal manner, they had no answer. The CAT then ordered that the Stay shall continue & placed the matter for final hearing on 12.01.2016.
Meanwhile AIACEGEO is consulting Advocates to examine as to weather the case filed in Principal bench of CAT Delhi for preparation of Gr-A RRs by granting parity with Examiner will be affected by such case or otherwise.
Further DPC to grant promotions to AC grade may be delayed for such stay also.
