Hyderabad: Six conferred IAS officers who were aggrieved by quashing of their selection process by the Hyderabad bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal, have moved the Hyderabad High Court.
The tribunal on October 1, 2014, quashed the selection process of the state government to confer IAS to eligible state level officers for the year 2013 and directed the government to take up the process afresh in accordance with law. The tribunal also directed the state government to pay Rs 25,000 to each of the aggrieved candidates whose candidatures were illegally ignored by it.
Satyanarayana, C. Sreedhar, Md. Imtiyaz, S. Arvinder Singh, P. Koteswara Rao and M. Prashanti challenged the tribunal order contending that the tribunal had erred in appreciating the process adopted by the government as per the service rules and norms laid down by the Union Public Service Commission.
They submitted that the tribunal presumed without any basis that all those who have put in eight years of service in the post declared equivalent to that of the Deputy Collector with outstanding record would have to be considered.
Contending that the order of the tribunal would amount to penalizing the selected candidates, they urged the court operation of the CAT order so as to enable them to continue as member of the Indian Administrative Service. The High Court posted the case to Nov 17.
