3. The matter pertains to the grant of Non Functional Grade (NFG) after completion of four years of service in the pay scale of Superintendent got on account of ACP upgradation. For the want of in rem implementation of the Subramaniam verdict, thousands of officers are forced to approach legal courts regularly throughout the country increasing the needless litigations. The matter is based on the verdict given by the Hon’ble High Court of Madras in W.P. No. 13225/2010 in the case of Sh. M. Subramaniam. The SLP and Review Petition in SLP filed by the Govt. in this matter against the order of the Hon’ble High Court of Madras were also dismissed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court.

4. The Hon’ble Tribunal also directed as below-

“A copy of this order be also served on the Union Finance Secretary by the Registry to consider issuing directions on identical matters such as above for in rem consideration and not in personam. This would avoid needless litigation in the future.”
