Ref. No. 02/CON/M/18                                                                                                         Dt. 18.12.18

To,
Sh. S. Ramesh,
Chairman, CBIC,
North Block, New Delhi.

Sub: Implementation of the DOPT OM No. AB-14017/12/88-Estt. (RR) Dt. 25.03.96 on “Revision of guidelines for framing/amendment/relaxation of recruitment rules - consideration of seniors in cases where juniors are considered”.
Sir,
            Kindly refer to the Gazette Notification Dt. 14.12.18 notified w.r.t. F. No. A-12018/10/2012-Ad.IIB(Part 2) Dt. 13.12.18 of the CBIC amending the Recruitment Rules of the Central Excise Superintendent on the directions of the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi implementing the subject-mentioned OM of the DOPT.
2. It is to submit with due regards that one of the decisions taken in the meeting of the CBIC Confederation held on 18.11.18 in Delhi was to implement the senior-junior clause in our department as per the instructions given by the DOPT in 1996.
3. Further, the said OM was to be implemented from 1996. The Hon’ble High Court of Delhi also directed in its Order Dt. 29.11.16 in CM No. 44096/2016, CM No. 44097/2016 and W.P.(C) 11277/2016 to give the benefit of the OM despite of not being incorporated in the recruitment rules finally dismissing the petition of the CBIC. It means that the said OM should have been implemented way back in 1996 only.
4. The due amendment vide the above referred Gazette Notification has been made in the Recruitment Rules of the Central Excise Superintendent only instead of making it also for other Group ‘B’ Gazetted executive cadres like Customs Superintendent and Appraising Officer. Needless to submit that the same amendment is required to be made in the Recruitment Rules of Customs Superintendents and Appraising Officers, all of three posts being analogous and at par and also being merged at Group ‘A’ entry level.  
            5. In view of the above, it is requested-
            i) To make the due amendment in the Recruitment Rules of the Customs Superintendent and Appraising Officer also.
ii) To implement the said DOPT OM from 1996 giving its benefit to all of the affected officers, whether petitioners or non-petitioners like the decision taken for petitioners as well as non-petitioners by the CBIC in the Matharoo case.           
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
