Sir,
Sub : SPF – Presidential Order (OMC) – Gazetting of posts after the issue of
Presidential Order - Reg.
* * *
Kindly refer Commission‟s Preliminary report, Preliminary Finding Nos. 12A to
12D with particular reference to sub-Para (ii) of Para 2.28.0 of the Preliminary
Finding 12A (xerox copy of the finding is enclosed for ready reference). After this
Report, the Commission has had occasion to hold meetings with the Officers of the
Heads of the Departments to find out about the deviations if any from the
Presidential Order. One of the most important issues that has come to the notice of
the Commission is that in many departments the posts which were hitherto Non-
gazetted before 18-10-1975, the date of the Presidential Order, have been made
Gazetted either with the same designation or with some change of designation. As
Non-Gazetted posts these were zonal posts with 70% preference for local
candidates. On becoming Gazetted, the posts become State-wide posts and also
lose the preference for the local candidates. Thus, through this process the
Presidential Order is getting diluted in respect of many important posts at the zonal
level and local candidates of all the zones are losing the advantage of localisation
and preference. Apart from the posts that have come to the notice of this
Commission, the Commission understands that there is a demand from many
Service Associations for Gazetting some of their posts and that these demands have
been referred to Anomalies Commission for examination. The Anomalies
Commission will no doubt examine the administrative and other aspects of the
demands for making the posts Gazetted. But the one aspect that needs to be
safeguarded is that when a post is Gazetted or any change is made in a post, its
original local character should be preserved so that the Presidential Order is not
diluted and local candidates‟ interests are not adversely affected. It is found that
One Man Commission (SPF) 15 Final Report
some of the posts which were gazetted after 18-10-1975 were got included by the
Government in the Third Schedule of the Presidential Order in the category of
Specified Gazetted Posts. One finds from the Third Schedule that even up to 1993
some posts were added to this category, but not all the posts that have been
gazetted to-date have been added to this category.
Para 5(5)
The posts in Institutions/Establishment notified in G.S.R.No.526(E), dated
18-10-1975 shall be filled up by drawing persons on tenure basis from
different local cadres on an equitable basis as per orders issued in the G.O.
3rd read above.
Para 5(9)
The possibility of allotting persons from within the same zone/multi-zone
against non-local vacancy in a particular cadre will be examined in
consultation with the APPSC.
The abridgement of the Presidential Order and the leakage of localized posts
through this process of gazetting is against the principle that the Presidential Order‟s
scope shall not be mutated i.e., neither expanded nor abridged. If it is allowed to be
abridged then the counter demands for expansion of the scope cannot be easily
ignored.
1. That all the posts that were gazetted after 18-10-1975 should be got
included in the Third Schedule to the Presidential Order as Specified
Gazetted Categories. This will ensure the zonal character of the posts and
retain the zone as “local area” for the posts.
2. To retain the 70% preference for the local candidates which applied to these
posts before being Gazetted as they were Non-Gazetted zonal posts.
3. In respect of the posts which are pending consideration for being gazetted,
if the Gazetted status is granted on administrative grounds then „ipso facto‟
a reference to the Government of India may be made immediately on the
lines mentioned above under (1) and (2) so that their local character is not
mutated.
4. In cases which were referred to the Government of India and have been
rejected for inclusion in the Third Schedule i.e., Specified Gazetted
Category, the cases may be reopened and action taken as suggested at (1)
and (2) above.
A list of the posts that have come to the notice of the Commission which have
been Gazetted with or without changes in designation after the Presidential Order is
enclosed. This list is not exhaustive but information may be collected from all the
departments so that in one single reference Government of India‟s orders may be
obtained. (Please see Annexure-3 herein).
It is also suggested that the action on this matter may be taken expeditiously
particularly in view of the pending demands for gazetting of some posts in some of
the departments.
Yours faithfully,

Sub:- SPF – Presidential Order (OMC) – Gazetting of posts after the issue of
Presidential Order – Reg.
***
Kindly refer my letter cited above. As I mentioned to you on phone few days
back, I understand that all the proposals for gazetting of posts submitted by various
Departments/ Associations have been referred to Anomalies Commission. I had also
mentioned this in my letter cited. This is an advanced stage of action in the matter
of deciding about the gazetting of certain posts. After the Anomalies Commission
recommendations it will be much more difficult to halt the gazetting process. As I
pointed out, it is desirable to bring this process to a halt in the interest of local
candidates under the Presidential Order who stand to suffer by gazetting of posts,
because they will lose the benefit of the local cadre and the preference in direct
recruitment to the extent of 70%. I have also proposed that in respect of the posts
already gazetted, Government of India‟s orders may be obtained so that they will
continue to be zonal posts with 70% preference for local candidates, thereby
preserving the advantage which was attached to these posts before being gazetted
on the principle of immutability of the local cadre & reservation for local candidates
of posts that existed on 18.10.1975.
With regards,
Yours sincerely,

D.O.Lr.No.6169/OMC/A/2001- Dt.26–10-2002
Sub: OMC (SPF) – Presidential Order – Posts Gazetted after the Presidential
Order –Inclusion in Specified Gazetted Category (Third Schedule) – Case
of Prohibition and Excise Inspectors – Reg.
Ref: 1. Preliminary findings no.12A, 12B, 12C, 12D in the Preliminary Report
of OMC submitted in October, 2001 (extracts enclosed for ready
reference).
***
It may be seen from the reference 2nd cited above that the Government in the
Revenue Department had declared the post of Prohibition and Excise Inspectors as
Gazetted in G.O.Ms.No.335, Revenue (Excise-I) Department, dt.26.4.1997. In
pursuance of this the department had approached General Administration (SPF)
Department to obtain the orders of the Government of India for inclusion of the post
in the Specified Gazetted Category i.e., in The Third Schedule to the Presidential
Order, so as to maintain the zonal character of the post. From the reference 2 nd
cited, it is clear that the Government of India has rejected the proposal.
the Specified Gazetted Category but also for retaining the 70 per cent preference for
local candidates.
I may, however, suggest that before sending the proposal, you may
like to discuss the matter with the Principal Secretary to Chief Minister, Sri
S.V.Prasad, IAS.. I have already discussed this issue as a general issue for all the
posts that have been Gazetted after the Presidential Order. In his view the matter
might have to be taken up with the Centre as a
general issue first at the Chief Minister‟s level. Therefore before sending the proposal
you may kindly have a word with Mr.S.V.Prasad and find out whether this single
proposal may be sent or whether we may await the general issue being taken up
first with the Government of India.
Yours sincerely,

One Man Commission (SPF) 21 Final Report
(i) If a post‟s pay scale is changed into a higher pay-scale, it will still
continue to belong to the same cadre as its original cadre as of 18-10-
1975, viz., District, Zonal or multi-zonal, as the case may be, for
purposes of “local area”. It should also continue to have the same
percentage of reservation for local candidates, 80, 70 or 60 as the case
may be as it had as of 18-10-1975.
(iv) When a field office, like a regional office, is abolished and the staff is
shifted to the H.O.D Office, the posts of the field office, such as regional
office etc. so abolished, should continue to have the same character
under the Presidential Order with the same local area and local
candidate reservation percentage. The case in point is that of the
abolition of certain regional offices like those of the Cooperative
One Man Commission (SPF) 22 Final Report
2.28.1 Why are these principles sacrosanct ? Because, otherwise the entire
Presidential Order can be bled out through the haemorrhage of up-
gradations,Gazetting and upward revisions of pay scales,abolition of
field offices and shifting of their staff to the H.O.D.office or any such
acts. Mere consent of the Government of India is not an adequate
safeguard, because at this length of time, and particularly when there
is no agitation or a vigilance device for the Six Point Formula, the
Government of India would go by the State Government‟s
recommendation, which, in normal times would be based on
administrative exigencies or staff demands in general. The Six Point
Formula would not enter the thoughts of the proposers and acceptors
in the context of other stresses of the moment, be they administrative
or staff union pressures.
2.28.2 Hence, the immutable spirit of the Presidential Order must be made
sacrosanct. In law it might fall under the concept of “pith and
substance”, or what the Supreme Court has pronounced as the “Basic
Framework” principle (in respect of the Constitution) which cannot be
changed by amendment. Presidential Order too is a Constitutional
Order, not a legislated one and represents a part of that fine balance
that holds together the State as a single political entity. Hence, its
„Basic Framework‟ should not be tampered with. All administrative
changes must conform to the „Basic Framework‟ of the Presidential
Order, making that framework immutable, unless by a Constitutional
amendment of the Presidential Order itself undergoes any change.

Second Schedule, six zones have been created in the State for the purpose of the
Presidential Order. Para 6 deals with local areas. As per Para 6(2)(ii), the posts of
Inspectors of Police shall be regarded as a zonal post.
Now, we may refer to Para 5 and 14 of the Order which are relevant for our
purpose. Para 5, which deals with Local Cadres and transfer of persons, reads thus:
5: Local cadres and transfer of persons: (1) Each part of the State for which a local
cadre has been organised in respect of any category of posts, shall be a separate unit for
purpose of recruitment, appointment, discharge, seniority, promotion and transfer, and
such other matters as my be specified by the State Government, in respect of that
category of posts.
(2) Nothing in this Order shall prevent the State Government from making provision for-
(a) the transfer of a person from any local cadre to any office or Establishment to which
this Order does not apply, or vice-versa;
(b) the transfer of a person from a local cadre comprising posts in any Office or
Establishment exzercising territorial jurisdiction over a part of the State to any other local
cadre comprising posts in such part, or vice-versa;
(c) the transfer of a person from one local cadre to another local cadre where no qualified
or suitable person is available in the latter cadre on where such transfer is otherwise
considered necessary in the public interest; and
(d) the transfer of a person from one local cadre to another local cadre on a reciprocal
basis, subject to the condition that the person so transferred shall be assigned seniority in
the latter cadre with reference to the date of his transfer to that Cadre.
Under Para 5(1) for the purpose of recruitment, appointment, discharge, seniority,
promotion and transfer and such other matters as may be specified by the State
Government, each part of the State for which a local cadre has been organised is the Unit.
The category of Inspectors of Police is a zonal post. Therefore, zone is the unit for the
matters mentioned in Para5(1).
One Man Commission (SPF) 33 Final Report
Under Para 14 of the Order, certain Establishments and posts are saved or exempted
from the application of the Presidential Order. Para 14(f), which is relevant for the
purpose of this case, reads thus:
XXX
(f) any post of Police Officer as defined in Clause (b) of Section 3 of the Hyderabad City
Police Act, 1348F.
Clause (10 of Article 371-D provides that the provisions of the Article and of any
order made by the President thereunder shall have effect notwithstanding anything in any
other provision of the Constitution or any other law for the time being in force. Therefore,
the Presidential Order prevails over any other law existing or made in future.
Sub-section (b) of Section 3 of the Hyderabad City Police Act, 1348 F defines “Police
Officer” to mean every member of the City Police Force appointed under the said Act and
shall also include the Commissioner of City Police, Hyderabad, Deputy or Assistant
Commissioner of Police. Section 4 of the Hyderabad City Police Act, which deals with
Organisation of Police, reads thus:
Organisation of Police: For the City of Hyderabad there shall be appointed a Police force
and its strength and constitution shall be as may be prescribed in accordance with the
orders of the government issued in this behalf, from time to time.
The State enacted an Act called the Andhra Pradesh Members of Police Force
(Regulation of Transfers) Act, 1985 (Act 9 of 1985) (for short „the Act,1985‟) to regulate
the transfer of persons appointed to Police Force in the State of Andhra Pradesh. „Police
Force‟ has been defined under sub-section (b) of section 3 of the said Act, to mean the
Police force constituted under the Hyderabad City Police Act, 1348 F, (the Andhra Pradesh
(Andhra Area) District Police Act, 1859) and the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) District
Police Act, 1329 F or any other law relating to police force.
One Man Commission (SPF) 34 Final Report
Regulation of transfer of members of police force: (1) Notwithstanding anything in any law
for time being in force, a member of the Police Force, shall be liable to serve in any part of
the State of Andhra Pradesh.
The Government may make rules for the regulation of transfer of members of Police force
from one part of the State to another part within the State of Andhra Pradesh by such
authority as may be prescribed.
Section 4 empowers the Government to make rules for carrying out the purpose of
the said Act.
The State in exercise of the powers conferred under sub-paragraph (2) of Paragraph
5 of the Presidential Order read with sub-section (2) of Section 3 and sub-section (1) of
Section 4 of the Act, 1985 issued rules in G.O.Ms.No.288, Home (Police-C) Department
dated 06-05-1986 called the rules for the regulation of transfer of members of police force
from one part of the State to another part within the State of Andhra Pradesh. The rules
shall apply to every member of the Police force from the rank of Police Constable to the
rank of Inspector and of equivalent ranks working in various police organisations. In terms
of entry No.1 of the table under Rule 2, for all ranks in Police Department, the competent
authority to effect transfer is Director General and Inspector General of Police or by an
authority authorised by him.
Seniority: The transfers being on administrative grounds and in public interest, the
transferees will take their respective seniority in the Units to which they are transferred.
Under Rule 4 of the said Rules, the appointing authority for the transferees will be
the same as that prescribed in the concerned Special Rules relating to the Unit to which
they are transferred. Subsequent to the issuance of the Act, 1985 and the Rules,
numbers of persons working in the category of Inspectors of Police were transferred from
one zone to another on administrative grounds including the Hyderabad City. Such
transfer orders did mention that the seniority of such transferees would be maintained in
the range to which they were transferred.
The State Government made several provisions under Para 5(2)(c) of the Presidential
Order. In the G.O.Ms.No.374 GAD(SPF.A) Department dated 20-05-1977, it was
provided that no provision for inter-local cadre transfers need be made in any special or ad
hoc rules on and that such transfers will be permitted only under the circumstances
stipulated in Para 5(2)(c).
Notwithstanding anything in the A.P. State and Subordinate Service Rules or the Special
or Adhoc rules transfer of a person, holding post in a category organised into local
One Man Commission (SPF) 35 Final Report
cadre, under Para 3 of the A.P. Public Employment (Organisation of Local cadres under
regulation of direct Recruitment) Order, 1975 as amended from one local cadre to another
shall be made by the Government where no qualified or suitable person is available in the
latter cadre or where such transfer is otherwise considered necessary in the public
interest.
To give effect to Para 5(2)(d) which was inserted by G.O.Ms.No.34 GAD dated
24-01-1981, the Government in G.O.Ms.No.539 GAD dated 01-10-1981 issued the
amendment to the above ad hoc rule as under:
Notwithstanding anything in the A.P. State and Subordinate Service Rules, or the Special
or the Ad hoc rules transfer of a person, holding post in a category organised into local
cadres, under Paragraph 3 of the A.P. Public Employment (Organisation of Local cadres
and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order, 1975 as amended from one local cadre to
another may be made by the Government.
(a) Against a vacancy where no qualified or suitable person is available in the latter cadre
or where such transfer is otherwise considered necessary in the public interest; and
(b) on reciprocal basis, subject to the condition that transfers should be assigned
seniority with reference to the date of transfer in the cadre to which he is transferred.
BACKGROUND OF LITIGATION:
It does not make any distinction between the posts organised in zonal cadres or covered
by the Presidential Order or those saved by the Presidential Order by Para 14. Such a
provision is not contemplated by Para 5(2) and is inconsistent with the same.
the table under Rule 2 does not indicate separately the post of a Police Officer as defined
in the Hyderabad City Police Act which is saved by the Presidential Order. A transfer of
such an officer to another post covered by the Presidential Order will not be permissible
under the Act or the Rule. Rule 2 or any other rule does not refer to various clauses of
One Man Commission (SPF) 36 Final Report
Para 5(2), which has to be kept in view for making a transfer with reference to each of the
clauses.
Rule 3 regarding seniority states that a transfer could be made in public interest and
therefore Rule 2 extracted above merely states that the transfers being on administrative
grounds and in public interest the transferees will take their respective seniority in the
units to which they are transferred. The rules do not restrict the power of transfer only in
public interest or on administrative grounds. No guidelines are laid down for the
subordinate officers to make such transfer or dealt with which are the areas, which will
answer the requirements of public interest or administrative grounds. In respect of the
posts covered by the Presidential Order, the public interest is a ground only under Para
5(2)(c). The ad hoc rule framed under 309 reserves the power in the Government alone.
By the impugned rules, the power is not only delegated to the Head of the Department
and various officers but it can be further delegated by the Head of the Department to
anyone else. The words „public interest‟ and „administrative grounds‟ in Rule 3, therefore,
do not lay down any guidelines or put a fetter on the officers to transfer only in public
interest or administrative grounds.
It was further held that provision made under Para 5(2) cannot be inconsistent with
Clauses (a) to (d) of Para 5(2). However, the Tribunal did not examine the scope of
various clauses under Para 5(2) or how the posts under 14(f) are to be dealt with on the
ground that the rules do not satisfy the requirement of a provision to be made under Para
5(2). The Tribunal also held:
We would, therefore, like to point out to the instructions issued in G.O.P.No.728, GAD
dated 01-11-1975 regarding determination of cadre strength of each local cadre by taking
into account the proportionate number of posts in Office or establishments saved from the
Presidential Order. This was with an idea that the posts in such office and establishments
would generally be filled upon tenure basis by drawing persons from various zonal cadres
on equitable basis to achieve the object of Article 371-D. Probably this may also have to
be kept in view while making a provision under 5(2).
a) The Act and Rules do not violate Presidential Order insofar as a transfer is from a post
saved under Para 14 of the Presidential Order to another post saved under Para 14 of a
person not included in any local cadre under the Presidential Order.
b) The impugned Act and the Rules are not effective for making transfer in respect of local
cadres i.e., either inter-cadre or from or to posts in the cadre to and from posts saved
under Para 14 of the Presidential Order and for which provision is to be made by the
Government in various clauses of 5(2) or of the persons included in any local cadre under
Presidential Order.
c) It is open for the Government to make any further or other provision as contemplated
by 5(2).
It is made clear that we have examined the question of transfer from the city police to
another local cadre on a permanent basis. We have not examined transfers of police
officers bona fide in public interest in exigencies of services for short periods without
effecting their continuance and position in their local cadre or effecting their seniority in
the local cadre to which they are so transferred or levelled by the Head of Department
viz., DGP of Police. (emphasis supplied)
One Man Commission (SPF) 37 Final Report
Therefore, according to the Tribunal no transfer from the inter-cadre posts to the
posts saved under Para 14 or vice versa is permissible unless a provision is made by the
Government under Para 5(2) and the rules do not satisfy the requirement of a provision to
that effect.
The Government of India and the Director General and Inspector General of Police Andhra
Pradesh Hyderabad were consulted in the matter.
The Director General and Inspector General of Police, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad has
suggested that the table in G.O.Ms.No.288, Home Department, dated 06-05-1986has to
be suitably changed and Para 14 of the Presidential Order amended suitably in order to
effect the transfers of police officers and men in public interest.
The Government after careful examination of the entire matter direct that the transfers of
Police personnel from one local cadre to another local cadre be permitted only for a limited
period without conferring any right to seniority in the local cadre to which, the individual is
transferred even though the said transfer is on administrative grounds. Such transfer
orders have to be issued by the Government duly indicating the reasons in each case in
order to justify that the transfer is in public interest.
Pursuant to the said G.O. the Director General and Inspector General of Police sent
proposals to the Government to repatriate all the officers who are working in other zones
and the Government issued orders in G.O.Rt.No.2424 dated 25-11-1998 repatriating nine
officers to their respective parent zones. Consequential repatriation orders were also
issued by the authorities concerned.
FACTS:
We may now briefly refer to the factual aspects involved in the respective Writ
Petitions with reference to the various orders issued by the authorities.
11-1998 both the petitioners were repatriated back to their parent ranges. However, they
were continuing by virtue of the orders passed by this Court in W.P. No.32683 of 1998
directing to maintain status quo pending disposal of O.A.No.7579 of 1998. The O.A. was,
however, disposed of as covered by the Full bench Judgement of the Tribunal dated 20-
10-1994. The petitioners challenged the same in W.P.No.5613 of 1999 wherein this Court
directed to maintain status quo on 19-03-1999. The Writ Petition was finally disposed of
on 30-01-2001 remanding the matter to the Tribunal for fresh disposal and directed to
maintain status quo till the disposal of the O.A.
The petitioner in W.P.No.13458 of 2001 (G. Anantha Reddy) arising out of O.A.
No.2139 of 2001 was appointed as Sub-Inspector of Police in Zone VI on 01-02-1974 and
promoted as Inspector of Police on 18-07-1988. He is not aggrieved by the orders of the
Government in G.O.Ms.No.349 or G.O.Rt.No.2424. His grievance is that though by orders
dated 04-01-2001 he was posted as Inspector of Police, Saroornagar
One Man Commission (SPF) 39 Final Report
he was not permitted to join duty. It appears that there was a dispute between the
petitioner in W.P.No.13545 of 2001 and this petitioner as to the holding of the post of
Inspector of Police, Saroornagar P.S. Pursuant to an order passed in C.A.No.1881 of 2001
the petitioner in W.P.No.13545 of 2001 was issued posting orders on 03-04-2001 at
Saroornagar and the petitioner herein was kept under reserve for want of vacancy from
01-08-2001. He challenged the same in O.A.No.2139 of 2001. The O.A. was tagged on to
O.A.No.8430 of 1998 and O.A.No.58 of 2001. These three OAs were dismissed. The
Tribunal observed that both the petitioners continued vexatious litigation with the
predominant motive of occupying the post of Inspector Police, Saroornagar P.S. and
therefore it was not desirable to allow either of them as Inspector of Police, Saroornagar
PS in public interest. Being aggrieved, he filed the present Writ Petition. According to
him, he was still kept on waiting for posting and he is not being paid salary from 03-04-
2001.
Aggrieved by the observations of the Tribunal in O.A.No.2139 of 2001 as against the
petitioner Sri Ashok Reddy, he filed W.P.No.19341 of 2001. He also filed W.P.No.19375 of
2001 challenging the proceedings dated 04-01-2001 of the Deputy Inspector General of
Police, Hyderabad Range referred to above repatriating him back to his parent zone.
The Tribunal by the order under challenge held that the transfer of the petitioners to
Hyderabad city is on temporary basis and they cannot claim permanent absorption in the
unit to which they were transferred. Rejecting the contention of the petitioners that the
Judgement of the Full Bench of the Tribunal is not binding on them, the Tribunal held that
the Judgement of the Full Bench in O.A.Nos.22622 of 1990 to 22635 of 1990 is a
judgement in rem and not judgement in personam. It was also held that the seniority of
the petitioners was being maintained in their respective police ranges only and not in
Hyderabad City Police. It was further held that Hyderabad City Police is not part and parcel
of Zone VI and is a free zone and separate independent recruitment is being made in
respect of posts of Hyderabad City Police. As regards the issue of not repatriating
similarly placed persons, it was found that such persons will be considered soon after
disposal of pending oral enquiries/ACB cases registered against them. The Tribunal also
held that the petitioners were appointed and promoted in their parent zones and therefore
they cannot have a right to be treated as regular candidates of Hyderabad City Police.
The Tribunal also held that the Tribunal in the Full Bench Judgement while upholding the
Rules read down the same instead of striking down them and the G.O.Ms.No.349 has been
issued only by way of clarification to G.O.Ms.No.288. Holding so, the Tribunal dismissed
all the applications.
Being aggrieved, the present Writ petitions were filed.
One Man Commission (SPF) 40 Final Report
The petitioner in W.P.No.13458 of 2001 is not concerned with the transfer from one
zone to another. Expect the petitioner in W.P.No.15372 of 2001, the other petitioners
were transferred to Hyderabad City Police from other zones. The Petitioner in
W.P.No.15372 of 2001 was transferred from Zone IV to II and was repatriated back to
Zone IV pursuant to G.O.Ms.No.349.
SUBMISSIONS:
Mr. Nuty Rammohan Rao, learned counsel appearing for one of the petitioners
would submit that the learned Tribunal erred in not considering the legality and validity of
the policy decision of the State contained in G.O.Ms.No.349 and G.O.Rt.No.2424. He
would further submit that in terms of Para 3(6) of the Presidential Order no separate cadre
has been organised for the City of Hyderabad and, therefore, the State was competent to
make provision for effecting transfer from one local cadre to another local cadre in terms
of Para 5(2)(c) of the Presidential Order. The Tribunal in the Full Bench judgement upheld
the validity of the Rules issued in G.O.Ms.No.288 and once an employee is transferred
from one local cadre to another in public interest and on administrative grounds, they
cannot be repatriated back. Rule 3 of the Rules is in conformity with the provisions
contained in Para 5(1) of the Presidential Order.
Sri P.V. Krishnaiah, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners would submit
that the petitioners were transferred to Hyderabad City Police on permanent basis and,
therefore, they cannot be repatriated back to their parent zones. The Full Bench
judgement of the Tribunal does not come in the way of the petitioners being transferred to
Hyderabad City Police and G.O.Ms.No.349 is contrary to the power vested on the State to
effect transfers under Para 5(2) of the Presidential Order and the rules issued in
G.O.Ms.No.288 are in accordance with Para 5(2). Insofar as Sub-Inspectors and
Inspectors of Police are concerned, there is no separate zone for Hyderabad City and it is
included in Zone VI only and as such inter-cadre transfers is permissible. It was further
submitted that all the posts in the Police Department are covered by the A.P. Police
Subordinate Service Rules issued in exercise of the power under Article 309 of the
Constitution and no separate recruitment is being made under the provisions of the
Hyderabad City Police Act. The Full Bench was not correct in holding that Hyderabad City
is a separate Unit. Nobody was appointed under the Hyderabad City Police Act. Learned
counsel would further submit that G.O.Ms.No.349 would operate only prospectively but not
retrospectively.
The learned Additional Advocate-General would contend that Government under Para
5(2) is empowered to make transfers in certain specified circumstances mentioned in
Clauses (a) to (d). In the Full Bench Judgement, the Tribunal read down the Rules issued
in G.O.Ms.No.288 to the extent the posts of Police Officers under Para 14(f) are
One Man Commission (SPF) 41 Final Report
exempted. He would further urge that G.O.Ms.No.349 has been issued only by way of
clarification to G.O.Ms.No.288 dated 06-05-1986.
FINDINGS:
Section 3 of the Act 1985 begins with a non-obstante provision and renders liable a
member of the Police Force to serve in any part of the State of Andhra Pradesh. Sec.2(b)
of this Act defines a Police Force to mean the Police Force constituted under the
Hyderabad City Police Act 1348 Fasli; the Andhra Pradesh (Andhra Area) District Police Act
1859 and Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) District Police Act 1329 Fasli or any other law
relating to the Police Force.
On a linguistic construction of the expressed terms of the Act 1985, there are no
apparent limits to the transferability of a member of the Police Force within the territory of
the State of Andhra Pradesh.
Having regard to the provisions of Presidential Order 1975 made under Art. 371D
of the Constitution, local cadres have been constituted and Para 5 (1) of the Presidential
Order which mandates that each part of the State, for which a local cadre has been
organised in respect of any category of posts, shall be a separate unit for the purpose,
inter alia, of transfer. Having regard to the provisions of Art. 371D(10) the Presidential
Order prevails over any provision of the Constitution or any other law for the time being in
force. In this constitutional position, while the provisions of the Act 1985 are plenary
within that sphere would nevertheless require to be construed in harmony with the
provisions of the Presidential Order. The liability of a member of the police force to be
transferred to any part of the State and the concomitant power of the State Government
to so effect a transfer is thus subject to the limitations enjoined in the Presidential Order.
The doctrine of reading down of a statute is a well recognised principle of statutory
construction. This doctrine is used either for saving a statute from being struck down on
account of unconstitutionality, resulting either from the incompetence of a Legislature to
enact a statute or from its violation of any of the provisions of the Constitution. Thus
wherever the provisions of the statute are vague, ambiguous or couched in broad
phraseology and two interpretations are possible on its terms – one which renders the
provisions constitutional and the other unconstitutional, a limiting construction can be
employed to structure the provisions of the statute, so as to bring them in conformity with
the constitution and thus rendering them intra vires – vide

(AIR 1957 SC 628); Kedar Nath Singh vs State of Bihar (AIR 1962 SC 955); R.L. Arora

vs Delhi Administration (AIR 1978 SC1675) ; Excel Works vs Union of India (AIR 1979 SC
25) and Minerva Mills Ltd., vs Union of India (AIR 1980 SC 1789).
In VIJAYALAKSHAMMA v B.T. SHANKAR1 the Apex Court has pointed out that the
Courts may not add or alter provisions of statute by reading into them what was never
intended by the legislature or may have been deliberately avoided by it. (Also See GM SC
RAILWAY, SEC‟BAD v SRI RAMA ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTIONS, 2001 (6) ALD 191).
The alleged uncanalised grant of power to transfer a member of the Police Force to
any part of the State of Andhra Pradesh, under the Act, 1985, must thus on principle and
authority, be read as empowering transfer only in conformity with the provisions of the
Presidential Order in particular Para 5 thereof.
Para 5 specifies that each part of the State for which a local cadre has been
organised in respect of any category of posts shall be a separate unit for the purpose of
recruitment, appointment, discharge, seniority, promotion and transfer and such other
matters as may be specified by the State Government, in respect of that category of
posts.
One Man Commission (SPF) 43 Final Report
In construing the power granted to the State Government under Para 5(2) for
making provisions for transfers of persons, we must not loose sight of the historical
compulsions which have led to the enactment of the Presidential Order, which is
butteressed by the over riding effect given to the provisions of the Presidential Order not
only against the exercise of the majoritarian, political and executive choices of the State,
but is also made operative against any other provisions of the Constitution of India
(Art.371D(10) read with Para 11 of the Presidential Order).
It is not in dispute that in terms of Section 3 of the Act, 1985, the State
Government may transfer a member of the police force from one place to another within
the State. It is also not in dispute that the rules issued in G.O.Ms.No.288 dated 06-05-
1986 provide for transfer of members of the police force.
What was questioned before the Tribunal is the validity or otherwise of Rule 3 of
the said rules. The vires of Rule 3 aforementioned has been questioned inter alia on the
ground that no guideline has been provided therein and thereby an unbridled and
uncanalised power has been conferred.
The said rules apply to every member of police force from the rank of police
constables to the rank of Inspector and were of equivalent ranks working in District Armed
Forces (DAR) etc. The applicability of the rule therefore is limited to the officers specified
therein. By reason of Rule 2 no power has been delegated but mere competency of the
concerned officers had been provided. Rule 3 protects seniority. Such seniority is required
to be protected having regard to the provisions contained in the Presidential Order. The
salutary principle underlying the framing of Rule 3 is the administrative ground and public
interest.
interfere in the event a transfer has not been made on administrative ground or in public
interest.
Non-availability of competent officer and public interest are themselves provide for
adequate guidelines. Furthermore, in a case where an action is contrary to the principle
enunciated in the Presidential Order, a judicial review would lie and thus it cannot be said
that Rule 3 is ultra vires Article 14 or 246 of the Constitution of India.
However, there cannot be any dispute that Clause (10) of Article 371-D of the
Constitution of India will have primacy.
We may notice that no separate organisation has come into being in terms of Para
3(1) of the Presidential Order. Para 3(3) of the said order refers to the zonal posts. Para
3(5) apply to both gazetted and non-gazetted posts. Although a power has been conferred
in Para 3(6) to create a separate cadre of posts which has to be organised for the city of
Hyderabad, no such cadre has come into being. Further, in terms of notification issued by
the Central Government in G.S.R.No.528 (E) dated 18-10-1975, the Police Department is
not part of the said notification for the purposes of organisation of a separate cadre for the
city of Hyderabad. Para 3(5) will have application only in relation to the said local cadres,
which have been organised in respect of any category of posts. Such local cadre would be
a separate unit inter alia for the purposes of recruitment, appointment, discharge,
seniority, promotion and transfer.
Para 5(2) provides the repository of the power. Para 5(2) (a) has no application in
the instant case.
The State Government has made provisions for transfer of a person from a local
cadre to another local cadre where no qualified or suitable persons is available in the latter
cadre or where such transfer is otherwise considered necessary in the public interest. The
power of the State Government is therefore limited. The said power can be exercised only
in the event the conditions precedent therefore are satisfied.
In terms of the II Schedule there are only six zones. The city of Hyderabad comes
within the purview of Zone-VI. The city of Hyderabad, although loosely treated as a
separate zone, but no such separate zone has been created. The city of Hyderabad
therefore comes within the purview of Zone VI only.
A transfer from one cadre to another cadre has to be made keeping in view the
various contingencies viz., a) having regard to the public interest and permanent in
nature; b) it is transient in nature; c) temporary and d) shifting the cadre.
One Man Commission (SPF) 45 Final Report
Having regard to Para 5(2) (c) of the Order, there cannot be any doubt whatsoever
that the State has the requisite power to make transfers in public interest. As there does
not exist any Hyderabad zone, Para 5(2) (a) would not come into play at all.
Transfer under general law is an incidence of service, but having regard to the
peculiar situation obtaining in the State of Andhra Pradesh and in particular having regard
to the Presidential Order, there cannot be any doubt whatsoever that a person cannot be
transferred from one cadre to another cadre in a normal situation. An order of transfer
would be permissible only when the condition precedent therefor exists.
In each case, the State is required to apply its mind and come to a conclusion as to
whether an order of transfer should be passed, having regard to non-availability of a
suitable person or in public interest. Non-availability of a suitable person may be
temporary nature. As and when a suitable person is found out, a person belonging to the
local cadre may replace a transferee.
If for the aforementioned purpose, a policy decision has been taken by the State
that no permanent transfer shall be made, the same cannot be found fault with.
Insofar as public interest is concerned, transfer from one cadre to another cadre is
permissible. Such public interest may either be temporary or permanent in nature.
Rules, such orders of the transfer can be interfered with by the Tribunal or by this
Court.
In S.PRAKASHA RAO v CCT1 the apex Court clearly held that the State Government
has no blanket power to create local cadres, as the same would tend to defeat the object
of Article 371-D and the Presidential Order. As regards organisation of a separate cadre is
concerned, having regard to the language used in Para 3(7), it was held that the same
may be given effect to.
(1 AIR 1990 (2) SCC 259)
But, as noticed hereinbefore, no separate cadre has been created in respect of the
police force so far as Hyderabad is concerned and thus the city of Hyderabad is comprised
in Zone VI. As further noticed hereinbefore, no person has been appointed strictly in
terms of the Hyderabad City Police Act and thus even the provisions contained in Para 14
(f) will have no application.
Para 5 of the Presidential Order is also to the same effect. When once each zone is
treated as a separate unit for the purpose of promotion also in respect of zonal posts
than by virtue of Article 371-D and the Presidential Order. As observed above, the
promotion from the post of Junior Engineer to the post of Assistant Engineer which
are both zonal posts, should be on the basis of the zonal seniority list inasmuch as
the post of Junior Engineer and the next promotion post namely Assistant Engineer
are included in the local cadre and the zonal list as we find in the Third Schedule.
With regards the higher posts which are not included in the local cadre and which are
Statewide posts, it becomes obvious that the Statewide seniority list of the Assistant
Engineers of all zones should beprepared and that should be the basis of promotion
to the post of Executive Engineer which is not a zonal post.
The apex Court reiterated the dicta in S.PRAKASH RAO (1 Supra) and held that the
zonal seniority list prepared pursuant to the initial organisation and creation of local cadres
has to be maintained.
The apex Court upon analysing the provisions of Article 371-D vis-à-vis the
Presidential Order held that Para 3 (7) would have an over riding effect upon Para 3 (3).
Understood in the context of its evolutional history, the power conferred on the State
Government under Para 5 (2) must necessarily be interpreted as a power to make a
provision for transfers for exceptional reasons, which will have to be such as to warrant a
departure from the framework of local cadres carefully structured under the provisions of
the Presidential Order. If the expression “nothing in this order shall prevent the State
Government” from making provisions for transfers (Para 5(2)) is to be given its ordinary,
natural and grammatical construction, the entire scheme of the Presidential Order
including the immunity provided to such order from the legislative and executive power of
the State would be rendered nugatory and illusory. After a local cadre is organised and
allotments/direct recruitment made to such local cadres, the State would be free to make
provisions for transfers, totally disrupting the harmony of local cadres so achieved, by the
devise of free transferability and that cellular discipline of local cadres could be totally
subverted. Such irrationality cannot be imputed to the Presidential Order.
On the above analysis we hold that the power of the State Government to make a
provision for transfer in any of the circumstances and exigencies set out in sub-Paras (a)
to (c) of Para 5(2) is a power circumscribed by the limitation that such transfers are to be
only in exceptional circumstances, in exigencies of over riding public interest or where no
qualified or suitable person is available in a particular local cadre and predominantly only
for a transient period for which such contingency exists, an exception being the
circumstance enumerated in Para 5(2)(d) namely reciprocal basis.
To maintain the sanctity of the local cadre discipline in particular is set out in the
provisions of Para 5(1), we also hold that while effecting any transfers by virtue of a
provisions made by the State Government under Para 5(2). Clear and specific reasons
must be recorded justifying such transfer within the contours of Para 5(2)(a) to (d). Such
recording of reasons is essential to enable conformity of the State‟s power to transfer with
the provisions of the Presidential Order. Such recording of reasons would facilitate and
ensure the exercise of power of transfer within the confined and limited contours available
to the State.
In so far as transfers of persons falling within the ambit of Para 5(2)(a) to (c) is
concerned, provisions of the Act 1985 and the rules thereunder set out in
One Man Commission (SPF) 48 Final Report
In the case of a transfer on reciprocal basis, Para 5(2)(d) itself mandates that the
person transferred shall be assigned seniority in the later cadre with effect from the date
of his transfer to such cadre. Rule 3 of the Rules made under the Act 1985 would have no
application in such a case and the provisions of Para 5(2)(d) would operate. We are of the
opinion that even in respect of a transfer under Para 5(2)(d) the principles/guidelines for
allotment in Para 4(2) should be borne in mind and reciprocal transfers should not be
freely approved which would gravely disrupt the need for composition of balance cadre
having regard to age and seniority or the administrative needs of the posts in the local
cadre.
Nothing has been placed before this court to demonstrate that any appointments of
police officers have been made only under the provisions of either the Hyderabad City
Police Act 1348 Fasli but they have been made also under the Andhra Pradesh (Andhra
Area) District Police Act 1859 or the Andhra Pradesh (Telengana Area) District Police Act
1349 Fasli. All appointments have been made under the relevant Rules made under
proviso to Art. 309 of the Constitution including the Andhra Pradesh Police Service Rules;
Andhra Pradesh Police Subordinate Service Rules; Andhra Pradesh police (Armed Reserve)
Service Rules; Andhra Pradesh (Communications) Subordinate Service Rules; Andhra
Pradesh Police (Computer Centre) Service Rules and the Andhra Pradesh Police (Computer
Centre) Subordinate Service Rules, etc.
Sec.2(b) of Hyderabad City Police Act 1348 Fasli defines a Police Officer to include
every member of the City Police Force appointed under this Act as also the
One Man Commission (SPF) 49 Final Report
As there has been no constitution of a separate cadre for the city of Hyderabad for
members of the Police Force in terms of Para 3(6) of the Presidential Order, members of
the police force allotted or recruited to Hyderabad must be construed as having been so
allotted or recruited to either the District cadre of Hyderabad or zonal cadre of Zone VI viz
Hyderabad , Nizamabad, Mahabubnagar, Medak and Nalgonda Districts, as the case may
be, depending upon the rank they hold, whether it is a District cadre post or a Zonal cadre
post.
The post of an Inspector of Police in the Police department having been specified as
item 51 of the 3rd Schedule and being a specified gazetted category in terms of Para 2 (1)
(i) read with 3(4) of the Presidential Order and being required therefore, to be organised
into a zonal cadre of Inspector of Police including those working for the nonce as part of
the Hyderabad city police, have to be considered as members of Zone VI which includes
the District of Hyderabad. They do not fall within the provisions of Para 14 of the
Presidential Order. The transfers from and to the establishments and units of Hyderabad
City Police therefore fall within the parameters of Para 5(2)(c) to (d). A person once
allotted to one zone and attached to his post must be said to be belonging to the same
zone and he has no right to come to any other cadre, which is not organised one.
CONCLUSIONS.
(b) No separate cadre has been organised for the City of Hyderabad within the
meaning of Para 3(6) of the Presidential Order.
(d) Inspectors of Police working in the Hyderabad City Police establishments either on
promotion to that post or by direct recruitment, must be considered as belonging
to Zone VI in the zonal cadre.
(e) The provisions of Sec.3 of the Act 1985 imposing a liability on a member of the
police force to serve in any part of the State of Andhra Pradesh and the
concomitant power of the State Government to effect such transfer has to be in
conformity with the provisions of Para 5(2) of the Presidential Order in view of the
provisions of Art.371D(10) of the Constitution and Para 11 of the Presidential
Order.
(f) Transfer of a member of the police force from any local cadre to any office or
establishment under Para 14 or vice versa, the transfer of a person from any local
cadre comprising posts in any office or establishment exercising territorial
jurisdiction over a part of the State to another local cadre comprising posts of such
part or vice versa and the transfer of a person from one local cadre to another local
cadre could be effected only where no qualified or suitable person is available in
such later cadre or where such transfer is otherwise considered necessary in the
public interest and not otherwise. Wherever such transfers are made on the
ground of public interest, such public interest must be of such overriding impact as
to warrant a departure from the local cadre discipline set out in paras 3,4, 5(i) and
6 of the Presidential Order.
(g) While effecting such transfer, reasons must be recorded justifying such transfers
either on the ground of there being no qualified or suitable person available in the
cadre to which transfer is to be effected or on the ground of over riding public
interest.
(h) Such transfers are normally to be of limited duration or tenure coterminus with the
specified exigency for which the transfer is made and shall cease to be operative
and the incumbent transferred liable to be reverted to the parent cadre
immediately on the cessation of such exigency, which warranted the transfer.
periodical review of the need for continuance of the person so transferred in the
transferred local cadre.
(j) In all cases of transfer made in the circumstances set out in Para 5(2)(a) to (c) and
on the principles aforestated, the persons so transferred is entitled to his seniority
in the unit to which he is transferred. Rule 3 of the Rules under the Act 1985 is
valid.
(k) In the case of transfers on reciprocal basis, the seniority of persons transferred
shall be in accordance with the prescriptions of Para 5(2)(d). Rule 3 of the Rules
under the Act, 1985 is in such cases inoperative.
(l) Even in case of transfers on reciprocal basis, due regard must be had to the
principles of maintenance of composition of balance local cadre with reference to
age and seniority groups, the administrative needs of the posts in the local cadres
and the like as set out in Para 4 (2) of the Presidential Order.
(m) Rule 3 of the Rules made under the provisions of the Act 1985 is operative to the
extent it is in conformity with the principles set out in paras (J) and (K) above.
Before parting with this case, we may notice that various other findings of the
learned Tribunal had been questioned by the learned counsel for the parties on several
grounds, but having regard to the fact that the questions raised in the respective O.As are
required to be considered afresh, as at present advised, we do not intend to enter into the
said questions.

Proceeding No.11/OMC/NAL/A.1/2001, dt.29-01-2002.
***
Present :
Sarvasri :
The officers have submitted a note on the questions that were raised by the
Commission on 9-1-2002 in the meeting held with them. Along with the note, they have
filed copies of the G.O.Ms.No.394, dt. 3-5-76, G.O.Rt.No.342, dt. 6-4-88, G.O.Ms.No.1, dt.
2-1-78, G.O.Ms.No.240, dt. 7-5-86 and also a copy of the order of Sri V. Sunderesan, IAS
(Retd.), OMC (SPF.Ser) 90-2, dt. 13-8-91 giving a copy of its recommendation No. 135.
In this recommendation, the same issue was considered with regard to other similar cases.
The Commission has taken a view that although Government had distributed the 21 posts
of Inspectors of Handlooms and Textiles to all the zones including Zone V and VI, and the
government have also apportioned among different zones including zones V and VI, the
posts for the Inspectors in the office of the Head of the Department (fixing a fair share on
the basis of the instructions laid down in the Presidential Order in G.O.P.No.728, dt. 1-11-
75 at page 50 of the Guidelines Book at Para 9(b). The appointments to the posts of
Inspectors are made from two channels one is the LDCs and Typists from the districts and
another LDCs and Typists from the Head Office. The Commission has taken a view that
“when the persons from the Head Office to be appointed to a zonal post, the nativity or
their local candidature are not the criteria for such appointments. It is only their place in
the panel that is relevant for the purpose”. In the process, there is a possibility of a
person who is native of one zone being appointed as Inspector in another zone. The
other observation made by the Director of Handlooms and Textiles regarding the
promotion of persons with regard to the native zone etc is not relevant for the purpose. In
view of the above position there does not appear to be any violation of either the
One Man Commission (SPF) 99 Final Report
In the revised draft rules of the Department, the Commission has done away with
the posts of Inspectors. Therefore, the present case is confined only to the posts that
already existed there. This case arises out of the anomaly caused by the fact that the
Government fixed fair proportion of Inspectors posts in different zones based on the basic
strength of each zone for the posts in the Head Office also as the Director has pointed out
to the Commission at that time, this was not necessary for the promotion posts in the
Directorate. The Fair Share Principle applies only if people are taken from the district
cadres and zonal cadres either on the deputation or on transfers to the Head of the Dept.
Office. However, having earmarked for zones, even though erroneously, he has created a
vested right for the candidates of those zones to these promotional posts. Since he has
created a roaster based on the fair proportion allotted to each zone, this roaster must yield
place to panel seniority because a post earmarked in the roaster for any particular
reservation category has to take a candidate of that category only. In this particular case,
the petitioner belongs to Zone VI but has been allotted to the posts earmarked in the
roaster for Zone II. On the other hand a person of Zone II has been allotted to the post
earmarked for zone VI. In this specific case, therefore, the action is not correct. This
Commission therefore recommends that the petitioner Sri A Shiv Raj should be deemed to
be allotted to the post of Inspector in Zone VI and person allotted in Zone VI should be
deemed to be allotted to Zone II where he is local. The transfers and postings will
therefore follow this zonal allotment.
This raises a general issue as to what posts does the Fair Share Principle laid down
in detail for G.O.P.NO.728, dt. 1-11-1975 apply to. In this department, there has been an
error in applying the principle of fair share to the zones for promotion posts in the Head
Office. The Department should rectify this even though these posts are abolished.
One Man Commission (SPF) 100 Final Report

The OMC has been constituted vide G.O.Ms.No.270, GA (SPF-A) Department, dt.25-
6-2001 and one of the terms of reference of the Commission is that “the Commission will
receive representations from Associations / individuals where the injustice is done in the
implementation of G.O.Ms.No.610, GA (SPF-A) Department, dt.30-12-1985 and to sort out
the anomalies”. Accordingly the Commission received the representation from Sri A.
Shivaraj, Asst. Development Officer (on leave). After the hearing of the Petition on 18 th
January 2002, the Commission gave its findings and the same have been sent to your
Department vide the reference cited.

Proceedings No.11/OMC/ADILABAD/4/2001, Dt.05-03-2002.
The matter was discussed with Mr. B. Chandrashekar, Joint Director of Sericulture
from Head of Department who came along with Mr. V.V.G. Sharma, Office Superintendent.
Sri B.Chandrasekhar mentioned that in the year 1985 they had selected some
persons called from Employment Exchange with B.Sc. qualification for training at different
institutes in Bhuvaneshwar and some other places as per the number of seats allotted to
the Andhra Pradesh by the institutes. The selection of these candidates was as per merit
in the B.Sc. examination. Candidates were called for from different Employment
Exchanges where Sericulture units existed. However, in making the selection of the
candidates to the said training institutions, they have not followed district as a unit of
merit but put all the candidates together and made one common merit list on the basis of
B.Sc. examination. Accordingly the candidates were sent for training. After the training,
on the basis of the merit list in the training institutes, candidates were given postings.
Again there was no district-wise merit list. Obviously there were no candidates from
Adilabad and Karimnagar Districts sent for training. The result of that was that the
vacancies in these Districts were filled up by candidates on the basis of their merit in the
training institute but the rule of local cadre and local candidate was not observed. So only
non-local candidates were allotted. The initial mistake was that in making the selection for
training the department should have kept in view the number of vacancies in each district.
Because, the training-candidates were ultimately be appointed to these vacancies.
The merit list should have been district-wise and postings should also have been on the
basis of local candidate for local cadre. If there were any candidates from the local
One Man Commission (SPF) 106 Final Report
Employment Exchanges of these Districts, they were obviously weeded out initially itself
by following merit in B.Sc. examination for all candidates together. It is not even very
certain whether candidates were called for from the different Employment Exchanges
where Sericulture units are located. If they did call for from different districts then the
appropriate thing was to select for training, district-wise. However, what has happened is
now ‘fait accompli’, a case of deviation from Presidential Order, intended or inadvertent
one can never know.
The petitioners were posted not in the free merit quota where non-locals can also
figure, but in total violation of the Presidential Order, which was ignored and no locals
were selected, trained or posted. However, at this stage the candidate from Anantapur
district cannot be allotted back to Anantapur district even if they take last rank in
seniority for the simple reason that according to the Joint Director there are no vacancies
available in Anantapur district. Similarly, the candidate from Hyderabad cannot be posted
to Hyderabad for the simple reason that there is no vacancy in Hyderabad District. The
Commission would not consider it right to recommend creation of supernumerary
vacancies for them. They have to remain where they are. The only recommendation the
Commission can make is that as and when there is a clear vacancy for each of them in
their respective local areas viz. Anantapur and Hyderabad respectively, they may be
posted to their local districts after verifying their educational record with regard to their
local status. In the HOD Office if there is a vacancy of a Farm Foreman then the
Karimnagar man can be posted in that vacancy after verifying his actual local status.
Since transfers would have to be sanctioned by the Government the Commission
recommends to the Government to approve these transfers as and when they are
proposed in clear vacancies. The Head of Department can enclose a copy of the
Commission‟s above proceedings while making the proposal to the Government if and
when the vacancies are available. Since this case is likely to go into the Commission‟s
Report in the category of appointments in violation of Presidential Order, the HOD may
One Man Commission (SPF) 107 Final Report
please check up if the factual position as given by the Joint Director is correct since he was
mentioning that he was only I/c P.A. to Director and was not fully in the know of things
and the facts were actually being narrated on his behalf before the Commission by the
Office Superintendent.

After examining your representation, the Commission has come to a conclusion that
it is obvious that the appeals of the two individuals mentioned in the petition against their
initial allotment were rejected, and so their allotment become final and they did not
agitate in Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal. You were not an Objector to their
initial allotment.
Hence you have no ‘locus standi’ to question their initial allotment, when the
concerned individuals themselves have acquired in it and accepted it over the last 26 years
and you were not an Objector.
In view of the above facts there are no merits in your representation in the result

In his petition 1st read above, Sri. P. Gangu Naidu, Superintendent 14 (A) Bn. NCC,
Srikakulam has stated he was appointed as Typist in 10 (A) Bn. NCC, Visakhapatnam on
22-9-1973 and worked from 22-9-1973. Subsequently he was transferred to 9 (A) Bn.
NCC, Vizianagaram on 9-5-1974. Later on he was transfred to 11(A) Bn. NCC,
Mahabubnagar vide NCC Directorate (A.P. Secretariat) Secunderabad in Proceedings No.
NCC (A.P.)/910/10/SPE/E-1/T and ST (11) dated 19-4-1977 and was allotted to Zone No.
VI (Mahabubnagar Dist.). Due to raising of new Battalion in Srikakulam (Zone – I), he
was transferred to 14(A) Bn. NCC, Srikakulam as per NCC Directorate (A.P), Secunderabad
Order No. NCC(A.P.)/911/4/E-1-7 dated 25-9-1979 from 8 (A) Bn. NCC, Mahabubnagar
(Zone – VI) as per the Govt. instructions vide Para 2 if G.O.Ms. No. 851, Education Dept.,
dated 19-9-1979. His seniority was overlooked from 22-9-1973 though Government had
permitted his transfer to Srikakulam dist. (Zone – I) vide para.4 of NCC Directorate (A.P.),
Secunderabad letter No. NCC (A.P.)/918/1/637/E-4(153) dated 29-8-2001. His
Department had not mentioned that he would take last rank in the list of approved
probationers in Zone – I. He has consequently lost his Seniority form 22-9-1973 to 16-10-
1979 on joining in Zone – I (Visakahapatnam, Vizianagaram and Srikakulam even though
he had opted for Zone in April, 1977).
2. He has requested to consider his case and recommend restoration of his original
seniority from the date of his first appointment in Zone –I with effect from 22-9-1973 to
till date as per rule 33 (A) of A.P. Subordinate Service Rules.
One Man Commission (SPF) 116 Final Report
3. The Dy. Director General, NCC in his letter 3 rd read above has stated that Sri. P.
Gangu Naidu was appointed as Typist on 22-9-1973 in 10(A) Bn. NCC, Visakhapatnam and
worked in that Unit upto 8-5-1974. Thereafter, he was transferred to the then 9(A) Bn.
NCC, Vizianagaram, at his request and worked there till 4-5-1977. At the time of
implementation of Presidential Order and Organisation of local cadres, one Steno – Typist
and Two Typists (including the applicant) had opted for Visakhapatnam District. The then
9(A) Bn. NCC, Vizianagaram was disbanded during May 1977. The applicant who was
working in that Unit as Typist opted for Visakahapatnam District. Consequent to the re-
organisation in his Department by the Govt. of India in 1977, only one Typist post was
available in Visakhapatnam District, due to dis-bandment of NCC units. In order to avoid
retrenchment, Sri. P. Gangu Naidu, who was the Junior most in the category of Typist and
was found surplus in Visakhapatnam District was allotted to Mahabubnagar District vide
G.O.Ms.No.470, EDN.(X) Dept., dt: 18-4-1977 vidde this Dept. Order No.
NCC(A.P)/910/10/SPF/E-1/T&S(11), dated 19-4-2001 where clear vacancy of Typist post
was available. His representation for re-allotment to Visakhapatnam District was also
rejected by the Govt. vide Govt. Memo. No. 438/X/77-56, Edn. Dept., Dt: 11-5-1979.
During the year 1979, 14(A) Bn. NCC, Srikakulam was raised / opened since the individual
belongs to Zone – I, the Head of the Department has considered his case to transfer him
to 14(A) Bn. NCC, Srikakulam in accordance with the orders of the Govt. issued in
G.O.Ms.No.851, Edn. Dept., dt:19-9-1979. As such his seniority being maintained in Zone
– I w.e.f. his date of promotion as Senior Assistant i.e., 13-5-1982 and he was promoted
as Superintendent accordingly. The Seniority of the individual was maintained in
Mahabubnagar District in the category of Typist, till he was transferred to his native
district. After his transfer to Srikakulam District as Typist and after conversion as Junior
Assistant, he was further promoted as Senior Assistant w.e.f. 13-5-1982. Accordingly his
seniority in the Zone – I was maintained w.e.f. 13-5-1982 i.e. the date of his promotion as
Senior Assistant. Then he was promoted as superintendent on his turn, and no juniors to
him were promoted as Superintendents., by – passing his seniority in Zone – I. His
request to change his Zonal allotment from Zone – VI to Zone – I at this stage is not
correct, as he has already accepted the transfer to Srikakulam Dist. (Zone – I) and no
representation whatsoever was preferred by him against the said transfer. He is presently
serving in Zone – I w.e.f. 17-10-1979.
One Man Commission (SPF) 117 Final Report
4. The Commission has carefully considered the case. The initial allotment was to
Mahaboobnagar though the petitioner was serving in Vijayanagaram. This was under
Presidential Order para 4(4), for want of vacancies in his Local District. Later on when
vacancies become available Govt. was kind and considerate in adjusting him in the
vacancies in the local cadre to which he belonged. To that extent, it cannot be considered
as a “ request transfer” that results in a person taking the last rank in the seniority in the
cadre to which he is transferred. This in infact a suo moto transfer by Govt. to put a local
condidate back in his local cadre from which he was plucked out in the initial allotment.
So he cannot lose his original seniority which is from 22-9-1973. This seniority has to be
restored to him as posting consequent on formation of local cadres and allotments therein
under the Presidential Order either initially or little late, in appeal or otherwise suo moto
by the Govt. cannot take away a person‟s original seniority which is traceable to his
original post in his own District Cadre where he was local candidate.

This is a case of an institution coming under the Government for the first time long

office or department. When such a thing happens, for that new organization which comes
under the Presidential Order for the first time, the exercise to be undertaken is the same
as was done from 18-10-1975 onwards for the first time for the entire government and
One Man Commission (SPF) 119 Final Report
local bodies viz., to bring this new organization under the system of local cadres both
district and zonal existing within the department. The existing staff of the institution
would then be taken up for initial allotment in the same way as was done when
Presidential Order was first brought into force applying the provisions of Para 4 (4) of the
Presidential Order which are applied for initial allotments. If this exercise is done, some of
the staff may be sent to their local districts and local zones respectively and in their place
some staff would be brought from other zones and districts but would be local for this
organization. This exercise was not done. The Director, Collegiate Education may
undertake this exercise and bring this organization under the Presidential Order by

One Man Commission (SPF) 121 Final Report
allotted as Jr. Asst. in the Labour Department as surplus staff by the C.E., NS Project, Hill
Colony, Nalgonda district vide Proc. Dated 23.10.1977. Consequent on allotment and
basing on the clarification issued in Memo No.1102/Lab.IV/A1/97-1, dt 06.02.1998 and
Memo No.427/Lab-IV/A1/98-1, dt 01.05.1998, the Dy. Commissioner Labour Ranga

Krishna District and consequent on allotment as surplus staff, the individual was absorbed
as Jr. Asst. in Medak District under the control of D.C., Labour Ranga Reddy Zone. He is a
non-local in Medak Dist.
In the context of this case and other similar cases and representations to the
Commission on his visits to the Districts it is seen that absorption of surplus staff is being
done without applying Presidential Order with regard to local candidates. Kindly inform
whether there is any order of the State Government or Government of India to exclude
such absorption without following the rule of reservation for local candidates. If so a copy
may kindly be sent urgently, so as to enable to Commission for incorporation in its report
on this issue. If there are no such orders do the Govt. propose to get such orders issued
in concurrence with the Government of India (through G.A(SPF) Department) to include

31.07.2001 in the O/o the Collector, Warangal – Reg.
* * *
The Commissioner Labour has replied to the minutes of the meeting mentioned
above.
Point No.1 “ The Labour officer mentioned that 40% of Asst. Labour Officers were by
direct recruitment and 60% by promotion. But there were non-locals of other zones also,
though all the 60% promotion posts should be from the same zone. The 40% direct
recruitment has also to follow the Presidential Order. Out of a total 48 promotion quota to
the posts of Asst. Labour Commissioner, 15 were from outside the zone”.
On the said point, the Commissioner of Labour has informed that the post of Asst.
Labour officer is a zonal cadre post and that one of the channels of promotion to this post
is a from Senior Assts/Senior Stenos working in the O/o Commissioner of Labour. The
cycle of vacancies rotated is as follows.
Under the 60% promotion quota, appointment to the posts of Asst. Labour Officer
shall be made in the ratio prescribed in the Rules viz., 9:1. Among Senior Assts/Senior
Stenos in the Directorate and Subordinate office the appointment shall be made in the
ratio of 2:3 as follows:-
This Commission is of the view that when the rules clearly provide for
Transfer for purposes of promotion from the Directorate, there is nothing irregular about
such transfer, as per the orders issued by the Government under para 10(a) of G.O.P.
No.728, dt. 1.11.75 issued by the G.A.(SPF-A) Department as Instructions issued under

In continuation of the commission‟s letter 2nd cited, I would like to inform you that
the Registrar of Co-Operative Societies has furnished report regarding appointments made

Krishna Murthy, Co-op Sub Registrar of your representation 1st cited in violation of
guidelines contained in G.O.Ms.No.610 GA(SPF-A) Dept. dt:30.12.85
2. On the above, the commission has examined the said issue in detail as follows:-
3. In the year 1993, the APPSC, has allotted 85 candidates to the post of Jr.Inspector
in Zone-VI. Out of 85 candidates, 60 candidates were local and 25 candidates were non-
local allotted to the cooperative department. Only 52 locals and 23 Non – Local candidates
were Joined . The percentage of non-locals comes to 29.41%.
One Man Commission (SPF) 129 Final Report
5. The Serial Numbers 5 to 8 as pointed out in your representation, that the above
four candidates are included in the allotment of 25 non-locals to this Zone, as per the
percentage that there is no excess allotment of non-locals.
6. In addition to the above, even in the year 1979 the allotment made by the APPSC is
not exceeding the 30% in Zone VI under non-locals. In the said allotment the Serial
Number 9 viz., Sri K. Krishna Murthy was allotted under non-local quota by Direct
Recruitment. Now the individual is Co-Operative Sub-Registrar. On the allotment of
candidates by the APPSC the Co-Operative Department in tern has issued orders.
7. Hence, there is no case for interference by the OMC in respect of the appointments
made by the Co-Operative Department based on the allottment orders issued by the
APPSC in respect of Serial Numbers 5 to 9 (viz.)Ramesh Babu, Jr.Inspector, Shivvaiah,

One Man Commission (SPF) 132 Final Report
5. The argument that the first gazetted posts in the Engineering Departments,
Assistant Executive Engineers and even Deputy Executive Engineers, are gazetted and yet
brought under the specified gazetted categories as zonal posts does not have any
relevance because in each Engineering Division there will be a large number of AEEs and
DEEs whereas the number of Divisional Accountants will be one in each division equal to
the number of EEs of the division. Therefore drawing an analogy between AEEs and DEEs
and the Divisional Accountants is not relevant in this context. In fact, Presidential Order
considered AEEs & DEEs on a totally different footing from other Gazetted Officers except a
few in the specified Gazetted Officer category. AEEs and DEEs were brought under the
specified categories right from the beginning under the Presidential Order even when a
large number of other first gazetted posts were kept outside the Presidential Order.
Therefore, there is no case for Divisional Accountants Gr.II or Gr.I being brought under the
category of specified gazetted post as zonal posts. Like all other first and second gazetted
posts, which were not brought under the specified gazetted category on 18.10.1975, these
could also remain out side the Presidential Order, as State – Wide posts.
One Man Commission (SPF) 133 Final Report
6. The Commission does not consider their request for being inclusion in the category
of specified Gazetted Officers to be justified and hence rejects their plea.

ONE MAN COMMISSION (SPF)
The individual who holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Sericulture from Karimnagar
Dist. was appointed in Zone – II as Non-local candidate under 30% quota with reference
to the instructions issued by the GA (SPF-A) Dept. in G.O.Ms.No. 729, dated 01-11-1975.
The Commissioner of Sericulture has reported that there are no direct recruitment
One Man Commission (SPF) 135 Final Report
vacancies available in the cadre of Asst. Inspector in Karimnagar district under Zone – V at
the time of the initial appointment of individual in the department.
The initial mistake was that in making the selection for training, the department
should have kept in view the number of vacancies in each district, because, the training-
candidates were ultimately be appointed to these vacancies. The merit list should have
been district-wise and postings should also have been on the basis of local candidate for
local cadre. If there were any candidates from the local Employment Exchanges of these
Districts, they were obviously weeded out initially itself by following the merit in B.Sc
examination for all candidates together. It is not even very certain whether candidates
were called for from the different Employment Exchanges where Sericulture units are
located. If they did call for from different districts then the appropriate thing was to select
for training, district-wise. However, what has happened is now „fait accompli‟, a case of
deviation from Presidential Order, intended or inadvertent one can never know.
The petitioner was posted not in the free merit quota where non-locals can also
figure, but in total violation of the Presidential Order, which was ignored and no locals
were selected, trained or posted. However, at this stage the candidate from Karimnagar
district cannot be allotted back to Karimnagar district even if he takes last rank in seniority
for the simple reason that according to the Commissioner of Sericulture there were no
direct recruitment vacancies of Asst. Inspector of Sericulture available in Karimnagar
district. The commission would not consider it right to recommend creation of
supernumerary vacancy for him. He has to remain where he is The only recommendation
the Commission can make is that as and when there is a clear vacancy in his local areas
viz. Zone – V, he may be posted to his local zone after verifying his educational record
with regard to his local status. In the HOD Office if there is a vacancy of Asst. Inspector
of Sericulture then the West Godavari man can be posted in that vacancy after verifying
his actual local status. Since transfers would have to be sanctioned by the Government
the Commission recommends to the Government to approve this transfer as and when it
is proposed in clear vacancy. The Head of Department can enclose a copy of the
One Man Commission (SPF) 136 Final Report
Commission‟s above proceedings while making the proposal to the Government if and
when the vacancies are available. Since this case is likely to go into the Commissions
Report in the category of appointments in violation of Presidential Order the HOD may
please check up if the factual position as given by him is correct.

One Man Commission (SPF) 137 Final Report

GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH
ONE MAN COMMISSION (SPF)
***
This is a case of pathetic injustice arising out of a deviation from the spirit of the
State Reorganisation Act which assured the people of all the regions and particularly of
Telangana which now constituted Zones V & VI, safeguards for their service rights and
interests. This is a case of a period before the Presidential Order and pertains to the
period when the Mulki Rules were in force.
Sri V. Ramana Chary who was holding the post of LDC was brought as Typist-
cum-Librarian (equivalent to that of L.D.C., and inter- changeable therewith). To do
justice to his job he did a certificate course in Library Science from Osmania University.
Then on 9-1-1964 the General Body of the M.C.H. created the post of a Librarian and
advertised it and also called for candidates from Employment Exchange. The qualification
prescribed was Diploma in Library Science. Before the advertisement Miss P. S. Venkata
Laxmi working as Asst. Librarian in Nursing College applied for the post. In response to
advertisement Sri V. Ramana Chary who was already working but drawing the lower grade
of Typist-cum-Librarian applied. Miss V.Lakshmi was non-mulki; in spite of that the
General Body approved her appointment but she failed to join. Her appointment as non-
Mulki was irregular. Sri. V. Ramana Chary continued in his post and it was ultimately on
26.7.1969 the qualification was relaxed and he was appointed as full fledged Librarian in
the higher scale. The irregular appointment of a non-Mulki resulted in loss of time. The
Commissioner wrote to the Government that since any way the relaxation of qualification
was given and he was continuing as Librarian throughout discharging the same duties, it
was just and fair that he should be appointed in the Librarian scale with effect from the
date of creation of the post i.e. 9.1.1964. The Government did not accept the proposal
One Man Commission (SPF) 138 Final Report
though there was a very sound reasoning and justice behind it. Meanwhile those who
were L. D. Cs., working with him and junior to him went on getting their regular
promotions and ended up at much higher posts and consequently with higher pension.
He got bogged down in the Librarian post and fell between two stools. Neither did he get
the Librarian post till 29.6.1970 nor did he get the various promotions that his colleagues
as L. D. Cs., got during that period.
This Commission feels that since the entire exercise of going into G.O.Ms.No.610
and the injustice done at a long distance of time before the GO and before the present
day, had to be set right, this is a case that the Government can consider for purposes of
fixation of pension w.e.f. the date which was recommended by the Commissioner justly
and rightly namely 09.01.1964, the date of creation of the Librarian‟s post in which he was
actually functioning at the time. He is an old man with no support of his children who
have also not come up in life. This is the case which if we consider favourably, will
combine many important principles moral as well legal.
1. It will be in the spirit of the State Re-organisation Act, 1956 which safeguards
the rights of the mulkis against any injustice particularly due to the domicile
considerations.
2. It will be a case of doing natural justice.
3. It will be a case of compassion combined with justice.

Office of the Commissioner, Civil Supplies, Hyderabad in the year 1983, thereafter he was
posted to Adilabad District as Dy. Tahaslidar (Civil Supplies) and later he was transferred
to the O/o The Chief Rationing Officer, Hyderabad as Superintendent in the year 1997. He
has further stated that the Department considered his case as Dy. Tahasildar (C.S),
Ananthapur and justifiably, he could have been continued as Superintendent in the O/o.
the Chief Rationing Officer, Hyderabad or transfer to any circle in Hyderabad or any
District adjacent to Hyderabad in Zone-VII, as he was a physically handicapped person.
The request of the petitioner was examined by the Commission and it was observed
that the Transfer from a Special Office or Establishment as per Para 14 (c) of the
Presidential Order to a Zonal cadre can be done only if the State Government have made a
provision to this effect in the special Rules issued to the cadres of the Department vide
Para 10 (a) of the clarification G.O.P.728, dated 18-11-1975. No such provision has been
made in the Spl. Rules of Civil Supplies Department pertaining to the posts of Dy.
Tahasildars of Civil Supplies or Superintendents, so far in spite of the recommendation of
this Commission earlier while reviewing the Departmental cadres.
Hence the transfer from Chief Rationing Office Hyderabad which has been declared
as a special office / Establishment under G.S.R. 526(E) to any Zone is in violation of
Presidential Order as per Para 14 (C) therein.
One Man Commission (SPF) 149 Final Report
Therefore the Commission finds that the petitioner has to be brought back to his
original organisation i.e., Chief Rationing Office, Hyderabad.

During the meeting with OMC on 30-07-2001, it was brought to the notice of the
OMC that in the year 1991, five Dy. Tahsildars were allotted to Nalgonda District. Out of
them three from the outside zone. In this connection I would like to inform you that the
information furnished on the allotment of Dy. Tahsildars to Nalgonda district from outside
zone has been examined by the Commission in detail, and the Commission has come finds
that the APPSC has allotted to the zone No VI. Dy. Tahsildars of whom 55 were locals and
23 non-loals. Nalgonda is one of the Districts of this zone. The ratio of this allotment
works out to 70.5:29.5. Of these any number of locals or non-locals can go to a particular
District. That is of no consequence. As the ratio is zonal for the Zonal Cadre. Hence,
there is no ground for complaint and the issue is dropped.

(2) Due to the modification of the Service Rules by the Board – introducing “
Degree” as a necessary qualification for promotion to the post of Private
Secretary.
(3) Including the post of “Junior Manager” (Zonal post) as a feeder category of
Private Secretary which is a post confined to the Head Office only.
The statement of the M.D. vide his letter dt:23-1-2002 that the Six Point Formula is
not applicable to the A.P. Dairy Development Coop. Federation Limited, since it is an
autonomous body, do not appear to be tenable in view of the resolutions of the Federation
“ to implement the zonal system under the Six Point Formula” (vide Federation Circular
No: Per/V-2/26565/85, Dt:13-11-85 and vide the Minutes No:21,14 of the 85 th Meeting of
the Board of Directors of the A.P. Dairy Development Coop. Federation Limited, held on 2-
2-91) – by appointing a Spl. Committee to examine the issues of Six Point Formula. The
action taken further on this matter though not explained latter, the implementation of
Presidential Order is evident in the zonalisation of its cadres.
One Man Commission (SPF) 161 Final Report
While it is so, the appointment of a Junior Manager belonging to Zone – III to the
post of Private Secretary to M.D. which is a post of the Head Office becomes a violation of
the localization Scheme adopted by the Federation.
Since, according to Para 5(1) of the Presidential Order and as per the Para 4(1) of
the Instructions issued in the U.O.Note No: 963/SPF-A/89-1, G.A. (SPF) Detp., dt: 21-10-
88 no specific Rules have been made by the Federation for the transfer of a person from a
„local cadre‟ to „Head Office‟. The action of the Federation under its localization scheme
becomes wrong.
Regarding the modifications made in the Rules, the Federation made certain
changes in the Rules for the Feeder category by including a non feeder category post of
“Junior Manager” and the qualification upgrading the same to a “Degree” for the post of
P.S. to M.D. However, the Co-Operative Tribunal in its order CTA No:160/99 dated: 31-1-
2000 has struck down the “Service Regulations” framed by the Federation as invalid since
they were not approved by the „Registrar‟. In consequence the promotion given to Sri.
K.Venkateswara Rao, Junior Manager (from Zone III) becomes null and void since the
original Rules do not provide the channel for a “Junior Manager” to the post of Private
Secretary to M.D. and similarly the verdict of the Cooperative Tribunal eliminates the
stipulation of the “Graduation” qualification for promotion to the post of Private Secretary
to M.D., as the same was not provided for in the Original Rules of the Dairy Development
Department.
Further the orders issued in the G.O.Ms.No: 134, Forest and Rural Development
Department, dt:23-3-1981 provides for the protection of the earlier Rules and Service
conditions to the employees of the Dairy Development Department transferred to the fold
of the Federation.
shall be promoted to the post of P.S. to M.D., with effect from the date on which the
promotion has been wrongly given to Sri. K. Venkateswara Rao, Junior Manager (Zone
III).
Sri. K.Venkateswara Rao, Junior Manger (Zone-III) may be repatriated to Zone III
as his posting in the Head Office also becomes a violation of the localization scheme of
Presidential Order adopted by the Federation since the Rules of the Federation do not
provide for the transfer of a Zonal category post to a post in the Head Office, specifically.
Government in A.H. & Fisheries Department is, therefore, requested to direct the
M.D. A.P. Dairy Development Coop. Federation Limited to take action as recommended
herein above and to send compliance report to the Govt. marking a copy to this
Commission, at the earliest.

In the reference 1st cited an unemployee from Karimnagar District Sri. R. Sampath,
submitted a representation to this commission (copy enclosed) stating that he attended an
Interview on 18-5-1995 for the post of A.R.Police Constables in Karimnagar Dist., but, was
not selected due to some irregularities in the selection process i.e., selection of non-locals
and candidates with recommendations.
2. A report from the Superintendent of Police, Karimnagar Dist. has been called for on
the issue vide his letter 2nd cited (copy enclosed), the Superintendent of Police,
Karimnagar vide his letter 3rd cited (copy enclosed) stated that Sri. R. Sampath had
One Man Commission (SPF) 166 Final Report
applied for the post of A.R. Police Constable in Karimnagar Dist. during, 1994-95
recruitment with Regd.No:877840. He was called for the oral Interview conducted on 18-
5-1995. He belongs to O.C. He stood at 285 th place in the merit list. The last candidate
who was selected in the O.C. category stood at 153rd place in the merit list. Hence the
applicant was not selected. The rule of reservation as per S.P.F. has been followed
strictly. No irregularities have crept in the Interview as alleged by the applicant. The
allegations made by the applicant in his representation were false and baseless. In view of
the above facts, no further action was needed on his representation and it deserves to be
lodged.
3. After examining the report of the S.P., Karimnagar Dist., and going through the
record, this Commission vide letter 4th cited elicited the following in formation from the
S.P. Karimnagar :-
4. In response to the above, the S.P., Karimnagar furnished the following reply Point
wise :-
1. A total number of 292 vacancies were notified for ARPCs posts during 1994-
1995 recruitment.
2. A total number of 234 local candidates were selected. Among them 128 were
under O.C. category. Out of 128, 106 were under local O.C. category and 22
were under non - local O.C. category.
3. A total number of 58 non – local candidates were selected and out of them 22
were under O.C. category.
5. Having gone through the whole matter, this Commission observed, that the
recruitment in question has been conducted with the conception that the vacancies are to
be filled with “80% locals and 20% non – locals”. This concept adopted by the S.P.,
Karimnagar is in contravention of the Presidential Order, under which “the preference (or
reservation ) is only for locals to the extent of 80%. The remaining 20% is open quota to
be selected on merit basis. There is no reservation for non-locals as such. In the 20%
merit quota both locals and non-locals could come. The Procedure for recruitment is
clearly laid down in G.O.P. No:763, G.A. (SPF-A) Deptt., dt:15-11-1975 which is to be
followed by all the Departments. Any contravention in this regard tantamounts to the
violation of the Presidential Order. Now that procedure has been revised in G.O.Ms.No.8,
G.A.(SPF.A) Department, Dt. 08-01-2002.
6. The S.P. Karimnagar District has been guided in this regard and has also been
advised to rectify the situation on certain lines. (copy of the letter addressed to the S.P.
Karimnagar is enclosed herewith for ready reference)
7. Further this Commission opines that this is not a singular case wherein such
misconception of the Presidential Order has happened. And hence holds that the
Procedures/ Guidelines as elucidated in G.O.P.No: 763, G.A. (SPF-A) Deptt., dt:15-11-75
as revised in G.O.Ms.No.8, cited 6th above are to be reiterated to the various Heads of
Departments to ensure the strict implementation of the Presidential Order.
8. You are therefore, in the instant case, requested to clarify the Procedure as
envisaged in G.O.P.No:763, G.A.(SPF-A) Deptt., dt:15-11-1975 as revised in G.O.Ms.No.8,
cited 6th above, to the D.G. and I.G. of Police, Hyderabad, who in turn may clarify the
same to the S.Ps for due rectification of the recruitments made, if any, adopting the
erroneous method, as it happened in the case of recruitment made by the S.P.,
Karimnagar.Dist.

Association – Implementation of Six Point Formula and G.O.Ms.No:610 –
Hearing held on 30-11-2002 at 3.30 pm – Proceedings – Issued.
***
The Petitioners and the Dy. Engineer – in - Chief (Administration) appeared for the
Hearing.
Heard the Petitioners and the official version. The matter pertains to the claim of
certain Engineers of the Irrigation Department regarding the violations in the
implementation of the Presidential Order in the “ Allotments” made to various Zones. The
violations are represented to have happened in the following manner:-
The Dy. ENC. (Admn.) quoting the report already submitted by ENC (Admn.) gave
the following explanation item – wise regarding the grievances:-
In another OA, in the meanwhile, the A.P. Administrative Tribunal pronounced its
judgement dt: 09-11-2000 directing - - - -
“to finalise the seniority list after inclusion of the applicants and others
of Zone – V in the respective place and if necessary by placing them in
place of other non – zonal candidates who are illegally allotted to Zone
V and take effective steps for repatriation of the Officers of other
zones to their respective zones”.
Aggrieved by the above judgement the respondents of the O.A. filed W.Ps in Andhra
Pradesh High Court and Andhra Pradesh High Court ordered “ Status quo as on that day to
be maintained”.
Necessary appeal petitions are being filed by the Govt. on these W.Ps.
The Non – Zonals who were working in Zone – V and VI after 18-10-75 have been
identified and they have been repatriated to their native zones as mentioned below:
(1) Out of the 1292 employees, 574 who were recruited after 18-10-75 in
different categories were repatriated to their native zones and
accommodated against clear vacancies.
(2) In respect of remaining 718 employees proposals were sent to Government
for creation of supernumerary posts for accommodating these employees in
their respective zones. Accordingly, 718 supernumerary posts were created
in G.O.Ms.No: 462, Irrigation & CAD (Ser.I) Department, Dt:13-10-86 for
their repatriation to other zones.
(3) However in the allotments made by the Government, it was observed that
102 members, who were appointed prior to 18-10-75, were allotted to
Zone – V & VI in violation of the Presidential Order.
One Man Commission (SPF) 171 Final Report
The Dy. ENC (Admn.) averred that a policy decision has to be taken at Government
level in consultation with General Administration Department (SPF)
The Representative of the association pleaded that a detailed report has been
submitted by the Engineer – in – Chief in his letter Dated: 7-12-95 identifying 102 persons
who have been allotted to zone V and VI in violation of the Presidential Order duly
explaining the violation for each person and the Government took no action. He added,
however, that subsequently the Engineer-in-Chief in his letter dated: 9-9-96 have
informed the Government that the repatriation of the above personnel may be kept in
abeyance in view of the Court Cases pending in the Honorable APAT. Hence, the
Representative of the Association asserted that the action of the Engineer-in-Chief in
addressing the Govt. to “keep in abeyance” is not correct as there was no stay on the
implementation of the G.O.Ms.No:610, dt: 30-12-1985 and it only caused injustice to the
legitimate interests of the employees of zone V and VI.
On hearing both the sides it is observed that the case pertains to the 102 J.Es. and
Dy. E.Es. who have allegedly been allotted to Zones V and VI in violation of Presidential
Order. The Engineer-in-Chief sent a proposal to the Government on 7-12-95 for the
repatriation of these 102 officers to their respective local cadres in the zones other than V
and VI. Before Government could take any action on these proposals, the Engineer-in-
Chief requested the Government to keep these proposals of 7-12-95 in abeyance vide his
letter dated: 9-9-96 on the ground that certain cases were pending in the APAT. In this
regard, he particularly referred to the judgement of APAT in O.A. 6116/93 dated: 15-6-95
in respect of AEEs. In para 13 of the Judgement, the APAT had said that any attempt for
either fresh allotment or change of allotment would further complicate the controversies.
According to the Engineers Association, the issue in this O.A. was not connected
with the proposal of repatriation and the observation in para 13 of the judgement is in the
nature of an “obiter dictum” not an order with regard to the repatriation. Further they
informed that even on the main issue which is unconnected with the repatriation, the
Judgement itself was set aside by the Hon‟ble Supreme Court and remitted back to the
One Man Commission (SPF) 172 Final Report
APAT which disposed off the mater in its OA No: 3719/1996, dt:9-11-1996. This
Judgement of the APAT was taken to the High Court in appeal. The High Court set aside
the main issue viz., that of upgradation and weightage etc. and the “ obiter dictum” of
para 13 mentioned above was not an issue before the High Court. Thus, they contend
that the Engineer – in – Chief‟s request for keeping his original proposal of repatriation in
abeyance is based on totally irrelevant and wrong premise.
In the view of the Association it is clear what the “status quo” in this connection
means, even with regard to the 102 persons. It could mean that they should continue in
the same posts and not necessarily in the same zone. However, it clearly means that they
cannot be promoted until the Writ Petitions are disposed of. But the authorities have
promoted them, which is a misapplication of the “status quo” orders. In consequence, the
Association submitted that the Petitioners of the W.Ps are working & some retired as SEs
and the Respondents got promotions and are continuing in higher posts.
The Dy. ENC. submitted that in a further report of the ENC (Admn.) necessary
proposals were sent to Government together with service particulars and remarks against
each name for taking necessary action with regard to 102 AEEs / Dy.E.Es. who were
allotted to zones V & VI by the Government as recommended by the “Allotment
Committee” Constituted under para 4 and sub para 2 (a) to (e) of the Presidential Order.
As against 102 employees, 98 were already retired from service and only 4 are in service.
II) As per G.O.Ms.No:519, GA(SPF) Dept., dt:18-11-85 the initial allotment and
organisation of local cadre should not be re-opened. However, action will be taken
as per the outcome of pending O.As. in APAT.
Hence the ENC (Admn.) concluded that out of 102 persons recruited prior to 18-10-
1975, 98 persons were already retired from service and only 4 persons are in service and
working as Superintending Engineers and Engineer-in-Chief which are state wide posts and
hence no need for repatriation. Moreover, there are no Govt., orders to take action on
those appointed prior to 18-10-75; neither the G.O.Ms.No: 610 is specific on this issue.
One Man Commission (SPF) 173 Final Report
In the final analysis it is seen that in this case the action as per the clause 3 (a) of
the G.O.Ms.No:610, G.A.(SPF-A) Dept., dt:30-12-85. viz…
has not been completed and the appeal in this regard is to be deemed as still pending.
Unless the Appeals are finalized by the Government through an “Allotment Committee”
Constituted as per the Presidential Order these initial allotments, which got locked up in
litigation, shall not become final as clarified in the U.O.Note No:1933/SPF.A/78-1,
G.A.(SPF.A) Dept., dt:26-9-78. Ipsofacto the orders issued in the G.O.Ms.No:519, G.A.
(SPF.A) Dept., dt:18-11-1985 do not apply to this issue. Hence the Government, now,
has to act on the report sent by the ENC (Admn) I & CAD Dept., get the matter
deliberated by the Allotment Committee Constituted under the G.O.Ms.No:124,
G.A.(SPF.A) Dept., dated 7-3-92 and issue a Speaking Order, bringing a finality to the
issue.
However it is also clarified that all other bilateral cases do not come in the way of
such a disposal since this disposal is on the basis of the petitions pending before the
“Allotment Committee” since years and hence deserves a quick disposal, to uphold the
solemn pledge given to the employees in the G.O.Ms.No: 610.
Government in Irrigation & Command Area Development Dept., is requested to
kindly take action accordingly.

Dt: 5-7-2002.
* * *
Sri. B.P. Chandra Sekhar, Farm Foremen, O/o. Asst. Director of Sericulture, Utnoor,
Adilabad Dist., has submitted a representation to OMC (SPF) stating that he belongs to
Medak Dist., and that the Dist. Employment Exchange, Medak sponsored his name for the
post of Farm Foreman in Sericulture Department during the year 1982-83 and he was
selected for six months training at CSR & TI, Mysore, vide Memo. Rc. No: 3125/B-1-82,
Dated: 20-07-82 of Director of Sericulture. After completion of his training he was
appointed as Farm Foreman at Utnoor, Adilabad Dist., and working there since his
appointment. He contended that he was sponsored by Dist. Employment Exchange,
Medak Dist., but was posted to Adilabad Dist., instead of in Medak Dist., in contravention
of the Presidential Order and hence requested to post him in his native District i.e., Medak
Dist.
The Commissioner of Sericulture, who was consulted in the matter, has reported
that the individual was sponsored through the Dist. Employment Exchange, Medak for (6)
Months short term training at Mysore, commencing from 1-10-1982, and no appointment
order against any post was given. The Department has not also given any commitment
for appointment to a particular post in the Dist., and that the individual was appointed as
Farm Foreman in Adilabad Dist., in his office Proc.Rc.No:1440/84/B2, Dt:27-04-1984 by
shifting a post sanctioned in some other Dist., to implement some new schemes
sanctioned by the Govt., in Telengana area, without supporting staff, and that the orders
given by the Deptt., was accepted by the individual who joined in the Department
willingly.
One Man Commission (SPF) 175 Final Report
He has further reported that now the individual has given willingness to work as
Panchayat Secretary in Medak Dist., and the Dist. Collector. Medak, was prepared to
accept the services of Sri. B.P. Chandrasekhar, Farm Foremen as Panchayat Secretary in
Medak Dist., provided the transfer of the individual from Adilabad Dist., to Medak Dist.,
was accorded by Govt. As such, the proposal for transfer of Sri. B.P. Chandra Sekhar was
sent to Govt., by the Commissioner of Sericulture in the prescribed proforma for
consideration in the existing vacancy of Panchayat Secretary available in the Medak Dist.,
The proposal is still pending with the Govt.
Having heard the petitioner and the version of the Department it was found that
the initial mistake was that in making the selection for training, the department should
have kept in view the number of vacancies in each District, because, the trained
candidates were ultimately to be appointed in to those vacancies. The merit list should
have been district – wise and postings should also have been on the basis of “Local
candidates for local cadre”. It is not even very certain whether candidates were called for
from the different District Employment Exchanges where Sericulture units were located. If
they did call for from different Districts then the appropriate thing would have been to
select for training, district-wise. However, whatever has happened is now „fait accompli‟ a
case of deviation from Presidential Order, intended or inadvertent, one can never know.
The Petitioner was posted not in the free merit quota where non – local can also
figure, but in total violation of the Presidential Order, which was ignored and no locals
were selected, trained or posted. However, at this juncture the Petitioner working in
Adilabad Dist., cannot be ordered to be allotted back to Medak Dist., even if he takes last
rank in seniority at this distance of time, nor the creation of a supernumerary post can
be recommended. However, since the Collector, Medak Dist., has accepted to utilise the
services of the Petitioner as Panchayat Secretary in Medak District it would be appropriate
for the Govt., in the given circumstances, to approve his transfer from Adilabad Dist.,
to Medak Dist., for his appointment as Panchayat Secretary in one of the existing
vacancies, since his appointment in Adilabad Dist., was in violation of the
One Man Commission (SPF) 176 Final Report
Presidential Order; The Govt., in Agrl. & Coop. (Sericulture) Department may issue
immediate orders in this regard to redress the grievance of the petitioner. Since this case
is likely to go into the Commission‟s Report in the category of “appointments in violation
of Presidential Order”, the matter be expedited.

Ref:- 1. Representation received from Sri Ch. Seetharam Reddy, Divisional Public
Relations Officer, Medak District.
2. OMC Letter No.6/OMC (SPF)/2001, Dt.05-03-2002.
3. From the Secy. to Govt. (poll)Lr.No.39212/I&PR/A3/01-5,
Dated 22-07-2002.
***
With reference to the correspondence cited, the matter has been examined.
Representation of Sri Ch. Seetharam Reddy, Divisional Public Relations Officer, Medak
District has the following points to make: -
(a) Sri Ch. Seetharam Reddy was appointed as Assistant Public Relations Officer
in the year 1985 along with one Sri Mattaiah.
(b) The both become elegible for promotion to the next post by 1989, duly
passing necessary Departmental Tests.
(d) Sri Ch. Seetharam Reddy, was not promoted, along with Sri Mattaiah in
1989 inspite of the vacant posts available for the sole reason that certain
personnel, Sri Sadanandham and Sri Bhanumurthy, from the Office of the
Director of Information Public Relations were promoted and posted to Zone
VI, Medak District.
(e) In consequence the Petitioner Sri Ch. Seetharam Reddy was deprived of his
promotion till 1991.
The Department in its report stated that “there is a provision in the Rules for
promoting and posting candidates from the feeder channel of the Head of the Department
to Zones other than the ones to which the persons will be local” is not tenable in view of
the following position as envisaged in the Presidential Order: -
The basis of the postings on promotion from the HOD Offices, to different zones is
based on Executive Instructions. Presidential Order contemplates such postings only if a
“provision” is made in the special or Adhoc Rules applicable to the concerned post. In Para
One Man Commission (SPF) 178 Final Report
10(a) of the Instructions in GOP No.728 G.A. (SPF) Department, Dt.01-11-1975 the word
“provision” in the main Para has to be interpreted as provision in the “Rules” not
“executive instructions”. If there is no such Rule, the posting of candidates on promotion
from HOD feeder channel to zones other than the ones to which the person would be local,
ought to be not in accordance with the Presidential Order.
The Adhoc-Rules issued for the post of the Divisional Public Relations Officer vide
G.O.Ms.No.455, G.A. (I &PR) Department, Dt.25-07-1990 do not have any “provision” as
envisaged in Para 10(a) of the GOP No.728, G.A.(SPF) Department, Dt. 01-01-1975.
Hence this Commission holds that Sri Ch. Seetharam Reddy shall be considered for
promotion to the post of Divisional Public Relations Officer with effect from the year 1989,
as per his original seniority in Zone VI, as was done in the case of Sri A. Mattaiah. With
regard to Sri Sadanandham and Sri Bhanumurty, since the Adhoc Rules provide for their
Promotion as Divisional Public Relations Officers in the 10 th vacancy of the promotion
cycle, their dates of promotion be reviewed with reference to their respective seniority and
they may be given postings to their respective “native zones” as per their seniority in the
Department. The Secretary (Poll) G.A.(I & PR) Department may take necessary action in
this regard.
Action taken in this regard may please be intimated to this Commission at the
earliest, since this case may have to be included in the “final report” of the Commission
under the “promotions given in violation of the Presidential order” category.

Sri U. Sarveswara Rao, Maistry Grade-II, and Sri K. Ramesh Babu, Maistry Grade-
II, Machilipatnam Port, Krishna District have represented to OMC (SPF) stating that they
were appointed as Maistries Grade-II in Kakinada Port, East Godavari District vide Proc.
No. 706/B.1/98, Dt.02-05-1998. The Director of Ports, Kakinada transferred them to
Machilipatnam Port in to the existing vacancies, even though their posts belong to district
Cadre. Their juniors were retained in Kakinada port in their places; and, therefore,
requested the OMC to transfer them back to Kakinada port.
2. The Director of Ports, in his remarks reported that 13 posts of Maistries Grade-II
were directly recruited through the local Employment exchange of East Godavari District
while the Fishing Harbour was being built at Kakinada Port. Later on, after the completion
of the work, 5 posts of Maistries Grade-II were abolished and the remaining posts were
being utilized at the Kakinada port itself in the existing vacancies of the posts carrying the
same pay scale and grade like the Signellers, Morse Code Operators etc., with those
persons having that knowledge. However, the Director added that on humanitarian
grounds, to avoid their ousting, the rest of the personal were transferred to Machilipatnam
port into the existing vacancies of Mazdoors, on their own scale of pay.
One Man Commission (SPF) 185 Final Report
3. The OMC heard the Petitioner Sri U. Sarveswara Rao and the P.A to the Director of
Ports in the hearing held on 16/07/2002 and observed that transfer of personnel working
in one district cadre posts to another district cadre without the Government permission
amounts to violation of Presidential Order. The transfers made in the instant case besides
being voilative of Presidential Order for the District Cadres of the East Godavari District
also deprive the Local candidates of Krishna District of their employment chances.
4. In view of the above, and in view of the circumstances reported by the Department
the Director of Ports is advised to take immediate approval of the Government to
regularize those transfers with retrospective effect as per the Instructions issued on the
Presidential Order from time to time, while obtaining due condonation and exemptions.
5. The Department is also advised to submit self explanatory proposals, for inclusion
of such posts which cannot be easily subjected to local cadres under GSR 529(E) to the
Government in T.R. & B Department for taking up with G.A (SPF) Department for obtaining
concurrence of Government of India as it would be better than the violation of Presidential
Order under the exigencies of the type of transfers mentioned by the Department as in the
instant case. The action taken in this regard may be intimated to this Commission at the
earliest.

Sri G.Narasa Reddy, Industrial Promotion Officer, District Industries Centre, R.R.
Dist., has submitted a representation to OMC, stating that he was appointed as Extension
Officer (Industries) (now Industrial Promotion Officer) on 5-1-1976 and was posted to
Adilabad District in zone V. His services were regularised in the category of Extension
Officer (Ind.) w.e.f. 05-01-1976, and his probation was declared vide Proc.No.A/1635/79,
dt.05-3-1981. As he belonged to Nizamabad District, he represented for his re-allotment
to zone VI, but his appeal was rejected vide G.O.Ms.No.355, dt.01-05-1978 of Industries
Department. Subsequently on his representation the Director of Industries granted him
transfer to zone VI on mutual basis vide his proceedings No.753/DSK 22-c2/83, dt.22-04-
1983 as per para 5 (2) (d) of the Presidential Order.
He has further submitted, that in the provisional seniority list of Extension Officer of
zone VI issued vide Memo 1133/DSK/22/c1/93, dt.5-8-93, he was assigned the seniority
at Sl.No.34 in zone VI and he has submitted further representation to the Commissioner of
Industries to fix his seniority in the cadre of Industrial Promotion Officer (Extension Officer,
(Industries) taking into account the date of his first appointment in zone V i.e., from 5-1-
1976, to enable him to get promotion as Asst. Director of Industries. But, the same was
rejected by the Commissioner of Industries. He made another representation to
government for fixing his seniority and the Government also rejected his representation.
Aggrieved by the above orders, he filed O.A.No.721/1995 in A.P.A.T. and the said
OA was disposed off on 6-7-1999 with a direction to the respondents to reconsider the
objections of the Applicant while finalising the seniority list in his cadre and after seniority
list is finalised, promotion of the applicant be reviewed. The Commissioner of Industries
One Man Commission (SPF) 187 Final Report
examined the issue accordingly and rejected the claim of the Applicant for reviewing the
seniority in the cadre of Extension Officer (Industries) with reference to the date of his first
appointment in zone-V.
Sri Narasa Reddy again filed another O.A. No.7568/99 for restoration of his
seniority in the APAT and the OA was dismissed on the ground that “his request doesn‟t
merit consideration”.
Sri G.Narasa Reddy, Industrial Promotion Officer has now requested the OMC (SPF)
to restore his seniority from the date of his first appointment in zone V from 5-1-1976
instead of 26-5-1983 i.e., the date of his transfer to zone VI, on mutual transfer basis.
With reference to his Representation, Sri G.Narasa Reddy is informed that the
matter has already been considered and rejected by the Hon‟ble A.P. Administrative
Tribunal. Hence the OMC cannot entertain the petition on the same issue.

pertains to N.G.O. posts other than the L.D.C. Posts, 70% of posts are to be filled by direct
recruitment with local candidates. As per allotment made by the APPSC (12) candidates
One Man Commission (SPF) 189 Final Report
were allotted under non-local and the percentage worked out to 28.57%. Hence, there is
no excess allotment of non-locals in Zone-V in the cadre of Junior Inspectors by the
A.P.P.S.C., as contended by the Association. The stand taken by the Registrar of Coop.
Societies, with reference to the 30% vacancies was not, however, found correct by the
One Man Commission.
Hence, the One Man Commission consulted the Secretary, A.P.P.S.C., and the
Secretary, APPSC., reported, that the Commission always observed, in all its selections,
the various provisions contained in Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation local
cadres and regulation of direct recruitment) order 1975, and that in this case also, the
percentage reserved for locals (viz., 70% in this case) was strictly adhered to. The rest of
the 30% of vacancies, which were not reserved, were filled in by candidates strictly based
on the merit regardless of local, non-local status as contemplated in the Presidential
Order, as 28.57% non-locals are within this 30% of merit list.

GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH
ONE MAN COMMISSION (SPF)
Sub: OMC – SPF – Services Welfare – Mohd. Shoukat Hussain, Deputy Tahasildar
(CS), Ananthapur District – Request for posting to Hyderabad – Reg.,
* * *
Mohd. Shoukat Hussain in his representation 1 st cited, represented to the One Man
Commission for his posting to Hyderabad City since he belonged to the City Cadre having
been appointed in a State Level Institution – the Office of the Chief Rationing Office,
Hyderabad. The One Man Commission examined the issue in consultation with the
Commissioner of Civil Supplies.
2. The Chief Rationing Office, Hyderabad was notified by the Central Govt. Vide GSR
526(E), dt.18/10/75 as “Special Office or Establishment” under Presidential Order 1975
and kept outside the purview of the Presidential Order.
3. The Commissioner has reported that the transfer was affected to Ananthapur on
purely administrative grounds in view of certain corruption charges against the Petitioner
on 04/04/2000, based on the report of concerned authorities, as the Presidential Order is
not applicable to Deputy Tahasildar posts in the Civil Supplies Department since most of
them are taken on deputation from Revenue Department state wide seniority is being
maintained and hence concluded that there was no violation of Presidential Order in the
transfer of the Petitioner to Ananthapur District.
4. The matter has been examined by the One Man Commission. Para 10(b) of GO.P
No.728, GA(SPF-A) Department, dt.01-11-75 lays down that for the transfer of a person
from a Local Cadre comprising posts in any Office or establishment exercising territorial
jurisdiction over a part of the State or any other Local Cadre comprising posts in such part
or “vice versa” a provision in the Service Rules is to be made. In the absence of such a
provision such transfer amounts to the Violation of Presidential Order.
One Man Commission (SPF) 191 Final Report
5. The transfer in the instant case would have been valid had Rules of the Department
provided for it. The Commissioner is therefore advised to make a provision for such
transfers in the Rules to meet contingencies like this. Since this transfer is reported to be
on account of serious charges levelled against the Petitioner, the obvious course of action
is suspension. Transfer is not a substitute for suspension particularly if it is to be effected
in contravention of the Presidential Order.
6. Commissioner is advised to transfer the petitioner back to the City Rationing Office
and consider the obviously proper course of action, viz., suspension, if he is so advised.

GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH
ONE MAN COMMISSION (SPF)
Sub: OMC (SPF) – Representation of Sri K.Lakshma Reddy, Gr.I, PD regarding the
Irregular transfer and promotion of Sri K. Raja Sekhar, Assistant Physical
Director, Govt., Degree College, Anantapur (zone-IV) to Nalgonda (zone-VI)
– Regarding.
Ref: 1. Representations from Sri K. Laxma Reddy, Gr.I P.D, Govt., College of
Physical Education, Domalguda, Hyderabad, Dt. 09-01-2002, 14-10-02
and 25.04.2003.
***
Colleges in Zone-VI provided such a case is feasible and that Sri K. Rajasekhar may be
“adjusted” in Zone-VI as and when a post of Assistant Physical Director is created in Zone-
VI. But till now no post of Assistant Physical Director has been created in Zone-VI.
In the proceedings Rc.No.2542/UGC-3/91, Dt.18-6-1993 Commissioner of
Collegiate Education promoted Sri K. Rajasekhar as Physical Director of a Government
Degree College when that vacancy arose in Zone-VI treating him as an Assistant Physical
Director of a Degree College, the post that he had relinquished on transfer, a post that did
not exist in Zone VI. He had no lien to that post in Zone IV and was in the post of Physical
Director of Government Junior College in Zone-VI in the seniority list far below the
Petitioner. Sri K. Rajashekhar was picked up and given promotion wrongly and irregularly
on a wrong premise. Not only that, on this baseless premise, he was placed above all the
persons in the seniority list of Physical Directors of Junior Colleges of Zone VI, reversing
the Government Order in Memo No.1557/HE-2/86-5, Education (HE) Department dt.16-
05-1987 in which Sri K. Rajashekhar was transferred and placed at the bottom of this list.
The Commissioner of Collegiate Education has gone far beyond his competence on a wrong
premise and reversed orders of the Government. Had that gross irregular order not been
passed by the Commissioner of Collegiate Education the promotion from Zone – VI would
have gone to a person from the list of Physical Directors of Junior Colleges who were
working in the Zone-VI. In that list Sri K.Rajasekhar stood in the last rank. This deprived
the first person in the seniority list, at that time viz., the Petitioner Sri K.Lakshma Reddy,
of his due promotion to the post to which Sri K. Rajashekhar was irregularly and wrongly
promoted.
The Director of Collegiate Education, who had been requested for remarks, stated
that no irregularity was committed in giving promotion to Sri K.Rajasekhar quoting the
Government Orders in G.O.Rt.No.1996, Education (CE.I) Dept., dt:31.12.1990 wherein the
Government have issued orders for recruitment to the post of Physical Director in
Government Degree Colleges from the posts of Physical Directors of Junior Colleges and
High Schools, only after exhausting the Assistant Physical Directors of Degree Colleges.
The G.O. does not justify the promotion but brings out the irregularity since Sri K.
Rajasekhar was not holding the post of Assistant Physical Director of Degree College or a
lien on such a post.
In G.O.Ms.No.1196 Education (B) Dept., dt:27.12.1977 the rules provide for the
promotion of Physical Directors of Degree Colleges from the category of Assistant Physical
Directors of Degree Colleges and in case if no suitable and qualified candidate is available
in that cadre, from the category of Physical Directors of Junior Colleges and High Schools.
One Man Commission (SPF) 200 Final Report
As per these Rules the promotion to Sri K. Rajasekhar was irregular and wrong. It was
due only to the senior most Physical Director of Junior College, viz., the Petitioner.
Hearing was held on 25.04.2003 with Department of Collegiate Education /
Secretariat Department and both the parties.
G.O.Ms.No.136 Education Department, dt: 06.04.1995 which Sri K.Rajasekhar has
quoted in his favour does not pertain to this case since the G.O. was issued in 1995 with
prospective effect only and he got promotion prior to that date on 18.06.1993. Its
retrospective effect does not change anything.
As already stated above, Sri K. Rajasekhar had no lien on the post of Assistant
Physical Director of Degree College in Zone–IV after his transfer to Zone-VI. Lien is the
inherent part of only a deputation not of a transfer.
As Sri K. Rajasekhar is far below in seniority in the list of Physical Directors of
Junior Colleges in Zone-VI, the only category to which he belongs, his promotion has been
irregular and invalid.
Hence, the Commission holds that the date on which Sri K.Rajasekhar was
promoted, the Petitioner Sri K. Lakshama Reddy has a right to be promoted. Government
is requested to take action accordingly and give the Petitioner promotion accordingly with
all the consequential benefits in terms of seniority in the promoted category, monetary
benefits etc. Sri K. Rajasekhar, should revert to his original position in the seniority list
of Physical Directors of Junior Colleges in Zone-VI. However, it is left to the
Government to take a compassionate view as he has actually discharged duties of the
higher post and create supernumerary post for him in which he can continue till his turn
comes for regular promotion as per seniority in the category of Physical Directors of Junior
Colleges in Zone-VI.

The President, Telangana Rastra Samithi in his petition 1 st read above has stated
that as per G.O.610, dt.30.12.1985 other than zone VI people should not be transferred to
the vacancies in zone VI. The Division No.4, Special Designs Circle, Hyderabad belongs to
zone VI. Sri N.V Ramana Raju, who was appointed under displaced quota in zone III
(Nellore Dist.,) during 1985, was transferred as Office Superintendent to zone VI within 10
years of his service. He was appointed as Maistry in work charged Establishment and has
also got promotion illegally against zone VI vacancy, when there are clear cut orders by
the Government for rectification of violations in zone V and VI under SPF, and hence,
requested to cancel the allegedly illegal orders issued to Sri N.V. Ramana Raju,
Superintendent, O/o Superintendent Engineer, Special Designs Circle, Hyderabad and also
to repatriate him to his native zone III and provide an opportunity to Telangana

One Man Commission (SPF) 202 Final Report
The Commission has examined the case carefully and observes that OD is neither a
transfer nor a deputation. It gives no locus standi. It is only a device for an ad hoc short
term agreement, for a functional exigency. It should not affect a person‟s service and
position in any respect. OD only authorized a person to work in a post for a short specific
period and purpose. His services belong to his original post. He has no right to seniority
or promotion in a post where he works on OD. OD cannot be used as a camouflage for
transfer. His promotion in the post where he is on ID is invalid. Hence, the said Sri
N.V.Ramana Raju, should be sent back to his post in zone IV. In fact it is not a case of
OD as such but a transfer camouflaged under the name of OD. This is evident from the
fact that his pay and allowances are drawn in the post to which he is transferred, not in his
original post. This is in clear contravention of the Presidential Order as well as State &
Sub-Ordinate Service Rules.
The Commission holds that this individual and all the employees brought on “OD”
device are brought to circumvent Presidential Order and should be sent back to their
respective posts and the consequential vacancies should be filled in as per rules with local
candidates with retrospective benefits to those deprived of promotion due to OD
candidates occupying their promotional posts. They should be given retrospective
seniority and monetary benefits etc., The persons on OD should go back to their original
posts in their respective original seniorities in that post. The Commission also holds that
One Man Commission (SPF) 203 Final Report
no recovery need be made from them for the period of their irregularly holding a higher
post on OD and the post may be treated as supernumerary in their original circle, to
regularize the undue payment in higher post if he was not due for promotion in the original
post. This will apply in all cases of such OD “transfers” which are held to be a device for
circumvention of the Presidential Order. The ENC (Admin. Wing) is requested to submit
particulars of such cases and compliance report to Government under intimation to this

The case pertains to the petitions received from the following:
1. Sri M. Satyanarayana Reddy, presently Lecturer in Physical Education, Govt.
Comprehensive College, Masab Tank;
2. Sri B. Seetha Ram Reddy, presently Physical Director, Grade-II, Govt. Junior
College, Kachiguda; and
They have all represented that injustice was done to them by giving wrongful and
undue promotion to Sri K. Sanjeeva Rao, their colleague in the City Cadre (presently
Inspector of Physical Education, Hyderabad) as Physical Director Grade II, Teachers
Training Institute (TTI) Neredmet with effect from 17/11/1978. They claim promotions on
par with him. Sri K. Sanjeeva Rao is the Respondent in all the three Petitions submitted
by the aforesaid Petitioners.
Sri M. Satyanarayana Reddy (the 1st Petitioner herein) was appointed as Physical
Education Teacher (PET) in Govt. Junior College, Aliya, in the “City of Hyderabad” on
28/09/1970 and Sri K. Sanjeeva Rao (the Respondent) was appointed as Physical
Education Teacher in Sultan Shahi High School in the “City of Hyderabad” on 03/10/1970.
Both acquired necessary qualification of a Degree in Physical Education (B.P.Ed.,) on
04/04/1977 and became eligible for promotion to the post of Physical Director (PD) Grade
II.
One Man Commission (SPF) 206 Final Report
Sri B. Seetha Ram Reddy (2nd Petitioner herein) was appointed as Physical
Education Teacher on 15.12.1971 in the Government Junior College, Kacheguda in the
“City of Hyderabad”. He acquired his B.P.Ed qualification on the same date viz., on
04.04.1977 as did Sri K. Sanjeeva Rao (Respondent). The Petitioner also submitted that
as per the vacancy position given by the Director of School Education, during the years
1975 to 1990, 11 Physical Director Grade II posts were vacant in the City Cadre.
All the above three persons were first appointed in the City Cadre as per
G.S.R.528(E) issued under para 3(6) of the Presidential Order, vide entry No.7 in the GSR,
as Physical Education Teachers (PETs).
Sri N.J. Diwakar (3rd Petitioner herein) was appointed as a Secondary Grade
Teacher in Sanga Reddy in Medak District Cadre (in Zone VI) on 17.07.1970. On
acquiring necessary qualifications (D.P.Ed. & B.P.Ed.,) he got himself converted as Physical
Education Teacher (PET) with effect from 16.08.1978 within Medak District (Zone-VI).
His petition will be discussed at the end as the position regarding the promotion of Sri K.
Sanjeeva Rao has first to be clearly discussed and defined.
The Respondent Sri K. Sanjeeva Rao who was working as Physical Education
Teacher in Government High School, Sultan Shahi in the “City of Hyderabad” in the City
Cadre, was transferred, on request, in Govt. Memo No.1370/B2/78-4, dt. 09/08/1978 in
the same post to the LRM Govt. High School, Bolaram (in Machabolaram Panchayat area)
which comes under the “City of Hyderabad”, and joined there on 31/08/1978. Thus this
post is also in the City Cadre. Subsequently, in Joint Director of School Education,
Hyderabad Proceedings Rc.No.64/V-1/75, dt.17/11/1978 Sri K. Sanjeeva Rao
(Respondent) was promoted as Physical Director Grade II on 17/11/1978 and was posted
to Teachers Training Institute, Neredmet (in Malkajgiri Panchayat area in the “City of
Hyderabad” in the City Cadre), on the wrong premise that Bolaram was in Zone VI and
also Neredmet was in Zone VI. In fact both were and continue to be in the City of
Hyderabad and hence in City Cadre as per First Schedule under Para 2(1) (a) of
Presidential Order. He was wrongly treated as belonging to Zone VI and got this wrongful
advantage on a dual wrong premise that Bolaram and Neredmet were in Zone VI when
they were actually in City of Hyderabad (City Cadre).
One Man Commission (SPF) 207 Final Report
The Commission heard the Petitioners and the Respondent and the Officials of the
Department on 22-1-2003.
It is found that the whole case is based on a grossly and patently wrong notion held
by the Department that Bolaram of Machabolaram Panchayat area to which place Sri K.
Sanjeeva Rao was transferred, was in Zone – VI, whereas it was and is actually in the
“City of Hyderabad” under para 2 (1) (a) of the Presidential Order, First Schedule and was
therefore the posts therein were and are in the City Cadre. On this wrong premise he was
promoted to the higher post of Physical Director Gr.II. Again there was another wrong
premise that was applied in his favour, viz., that Naredmet of Malkajgiri Panchayat area
was in Zone VI whereas actually it was and is in “City of Hyderabad” as per First Schedule
and hence the posts therein were and are in City Cadre. (See entries (g) & (i) in First
Schedule to Presidential Order).
As per paragraph 3 (6) of the Presidential Order, at Sl. No. 7 of the GSR No. 528(E)
dated 18/10/1975 “All Non-Gazetted categories and the specified gazetted categories
other than Deputy Secretary (Education), Zilla Parishad” of the Education Department are
One Man Commission (SPF) 208 Final Report
notified as categories of posts for which separate Cadres have to be organized for the City
of Hyderabad.
Thus the promotion of Sri K. Sanjeeva Rao (Respondent) who belonged to City
Cadre being treated as a candidate of Zone VI, to a post actually of City Cadre but
wrongly conceived to be in Zone VI, was „ab intio‟ void.
After his „ab intio‟ void promotion, Sri K. Sanjeeva Rao (Respondent) has got
further promotions as PD Grade-I, Gazetted Lecturer in Physical Education and Inspector
of Physical Education. Since the first promotion itself is „ab intio‟ void, all the subsequent
promotions are also „ab intio‟ void.
In this view of the case, the Commission holds that Sri K. Sanjeeva Rao should be
reverted to his original post as Physical Education Teacher (PET) with effect from 17 th
November 1978, the date of his first „ab intio‟ void promotion as PD, Grade-II. The
authorities may thereafter consider him in his original seniority as Physical Education
Teacher (PET) in the City Cadre from that date and work out his promotion as PD, Grade-II
according to the inter-se seniority of his other colleagues in the City Cadre. Thereafter
from that position if there are any promotions due to him these may be considered on that
basis only on the dates on which these may fall due. Meanwhile, he may be relieved of his
presently held illegal post and kept on compulsory wait till his legitimate position as per
this order is worked out.
In this context, therefore, the question of Sri M.Satyanarayana Reddy and Sri
B.Seetha Ram Reddy, in the City Cadre getting promotions because Sri K.Sanjeeva Rao
got promotion, that was actually „ab initio‟ void, does not arise as Mr.K. Sanjeeva Rao
himself has to be reverted back to his original position to status quo ante as of 17-11-
1978, the date of his „ab initio‟ void first promotion.
As far as the period for which the Respondent has enjoyed the „ab initio‟ void
promotions as Physical Director Grade-II and subsequent promotions, the government
may either recover the amount from him or in a compassionate view of things create a
supernumerary post for that period for which he held the posts illegally till the date of
relief from this post and allow him to keep the amounts, while reverting him to his original
position as Physical Education Teacher as of 17-11-1978.
One Man Commission (SPF) 209 Final Report
This wrong premise about the cadre to which the posts in the School Education
Department in Bolaram and Neredmet belong, has also crept into the
Govt.Memo.No.45079/Ser.II.2/97-21, dt.18-11-2001 issued by Education (Services-II)
Department. In this Memo. also the Department treated Bolaram as part of Zone VI,
whereas actually it is a part of “City of Hyderabad” and the posts therein are part of the
City Cadre. Again the Memo. speaks of “Zone-VII” which does not exist in the Presidential
Order, perhaps intending to refer to the City Cadre. However, inspite of these errors, the
Government Memo. recognizes that the promotion of Sri K.Sanjeeva Rao was invalid and
has ordered the Commissioner of School Education to review the promotion of Sri
K.Sanjeeva Rao. Unfortunately, again, the misconception has entered into this Memo. and
it says that the promotion should be reviewed in his “Zone of appointment i.e., Zone-VI”,
which is a gross error because his Zone of appointment has been the City Cadre and he
has never gone out of the City Cadre.
fact Government cannot change any place from one Cadre to another in the Presidential
Order.
Sri N.J. Diwakar (3rd Petitioner herein) has claimed seniority in the post of Physical
Director Grade II (first promotion post) over Sri K. Sanjeeva Rao in Zone VI. In the light
of the findings hereinabove, Sri K. Sanjeeva Rao (Respondent) has no locus standi in
Zone VI and his promotion was „ab initio‟ void. Hence the plea of Sri N.J. Diwakar has no
relevance.
Sri B. Seetha Ram Reddy (2nd Petitioner herein) approached Higher Education
Department and sought promotion, as the posts of Physical Director Grade II were not
being filled by the Director of School Education. But his efforts proved in vain since
vacancies of Physical Director Grade II were filled by the Director of Higher Education
transferring certain persons from other Zones. It is seen from the papers presented
before the Commission that Secretary, School Education Department in his Memo.
No.45079/Ser.2/97-8, Dt.14/07/2000, objected to this inter-local cadre transfer as it is
only the power of the Government through C.S. and C.M. He asked Secretary, Higher
Education to take action to cancel the transfer. But since this Memo. referred only to one
case and that person died, no action was taken. But other similar cases seem to remain
untouched. The officials of the Department of Intermediate Education and Collegiate
Education who appeared before the Commission, however, claimed that those vacancies
were direct recruitment vacancies and the candidates from other Zones were taken into
those direct recruitment vacancies and hence no injustice was done to the promotees.
This line of argument is untenable. As the Secretary, School Education pointed out, in the
first place it is not within the powers of a Head of Department to effect inter-zonal
transfers. The issue in this particular case is not merely of unauthorised transfer or of
injustice to the 2nd Petitioner or promotees but of a clear violation of the Presidential Order
to the detriment of the rights of local candidates of “City of Hyderabad” to the direct
recruitment posts. The direct recruitment posts were not filled up due to Government ban.
So Physical Director Grade II were brought in from other Zones to the City Cadre to fill up
these direct recruitment vacancies. Such inter-cadre transfer is in contravention of the
Presidential Order and has deprived the local candidates of the City of Hyderabad of their
legitimate posts by direct recruitment.
One Man Commission (SPF) 211 Final Report
Hence, the Physical Directors Grade II brought from other Zones should be
repatriated to their respective Zones where they may be fitted into their own inter-se
seniorities in their original posts. The consequential vacancies should be filled up by direct
recruitment with the prescribed reservation for locals, or by promotion from the eligible
candidates of the City Cadre from Physical Education Teachers (PETs) of High Schools or
Junior Colleges, as per Rules.
In this O.A. from among the above mentioned Petitioners only 1 st and 2nd
Petitioners are Respondents (copy of the order is enclosed).
2. All the promotions of Sri K. Sanjeeva Rao right from Physical Director
Grade-II up to the present position held by him have been „ab initio‟ void.

GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH
PROCEEDINGS OF ONE MAN COMMISSION (SPF)
Sub: OMC (SPF) - Representation of Sri V.R. Surender Babu, Sr. Assistant for
promotion as Superintendent in the O/o the Executive Engineer, Godavari
Lift Irrigation Scheme Division No.3, Gruhakalpa, Hyderabad – Proceedings
issued.
Ref: Representation from Sri V.R. Surender Babu, Sr. Assistant O/o the Executive
Engineer, Godavari Lift Irrigation Scheme, Hyderabad, Dt. 16/05/2003.
***
The matter pertains to the individual representation of Sri V.R. Surender Babu, Sr.
Assistant O/o the Executive Engineer, Godavari Lift Irrigation Scheme, Hyderabad.
2 Sri V.R. Surender Babu, Sr. Assistant, O/o E.E., GLIS, Division.3, Hyderabad has
started that he was appointed as Jr. Assistant on 23.03.1977 in Inter State Joint Project
under administrative control of C.E, Inv., Hyderabad. The above division is located in zone
VI and is a separate entity for all purpose for appointment, promotion, seniority etc. The
above division was temporarily diverted and attached to P.I.C Warangal (Zone V) to look
after the Technical work of the circle in the year 1980. Subsequently the division was
again detached and attached to I.P.I circle, Warangal in the year 1984. Even the division
is working under the control of S.E., the division is identified as a separate entity and it
was under the administrative control of C.E., Inv., Hyderabad. In view of the above, the
seniority of the division has to be maintained separately and the consequential vacancies
arose should have to be filled in with the eligible staff of the division with the approved
seniority list. As per the seniority list, in the category of Jr. Assistants of the Pochampad
Investigation, Warangal, he stood at Sl.No.35.
3 The Petitioner has alleged that a vacancy of Superintendent post was arised in
1992, this vacancy should have been filled in with reference to the seniority list, but one
Sri Madhusudan, who belongs to Pochampad Investigation Circle, Warangal (Zone V),
where his seniority lien is being maintained is diverted to this division illegally and holding
the Addl. Charge of Superintendent post though fully qualified person is available in the
One Man Commission (SPF) 217 Final Report
division, which is not correct according to rules and regulations. According to the
seniority, he was fully qualified, bornist of the division and eligible for holding the post of
Superintendent as such the above ineligible person may be repatriated to his original circle
and he may be promoted as Superintendent as per rules and regulations.
5 It is further seen from the said letter of S.E., P.I.C., that V.R.Surender Babu Sr.
Asst. has been placed in full Addl. Charge of the post of Superintendent by the C.E (Inv.)
Hyderabad, earlier vide proceedings H2(3)/247/99, dt. 20/11/99. It could not be
materialized, in view of the Hon‟ble A.P.A.T Hyderabad direction on OA 6953/1999 with
V.M.A 544/99 and Sri M. Madhusudhan has continued as incharge superintendent and that
as per the Tribunal direction the Addl. Charge arrangement of the post of superintendent
could not be changed. But as per seniority list of Division office (zone VI) Sri V.R.Surender
Babu is eligible candidate in zone VI.
7 However it was clarified that the posts of Senior Assistant & Superintendents are
Zonal Posts and the transfer/ promotions are to be restricted to in the particular zone only,
even though a circle office crosses more than one zone. Further the seniority is to be
considered within the zone for zonal cadre, District has a unit for District Cadres but not
the Circle, which is an administrative unit, as envisaged in the Presidential Order.
Amendment to the A.P. Ministerial Service Rules has also been brought out in this regard
in the G.O.Ms.No.803/G.A(SER.B) Dept. dated 29.12.1980 and to A.P Last Grade Service
Rules in the G.O.Ms.No.353 , G.A (SER.) Dept. dt, 30.06.1981. In the rules also the unit
of appointment shall be a full zone or two or three zones comprising a multi zones, but not
parts of zones.
8. In view of the above circumstances the representations of Sri. V.R. Surendra Babu
Senior Assistant deserves consideration for seniority and promotion, since, the Sri M.
Madhusudan, Senior Assistant belongs to zone V, and working in the Inter State Joint
Project Division on OD basis, and hence is not eligible for seniority and promotion as
Superintendent being on an O.D. post as he belongs to zone-V and therefore shall be
repatriated back to his zone. Promoting a person on O.D is repugnant to Service Rules,
Fundamental Rules and all cannons of Service norms.
9. In the light of the above position the Govt. in I & CAD Department may instruct the
Engineer-in-Chief (AW), I & CAD department are requested to take necessary action to file
a revision petition in O.A. No.6953/89 before the APAT for vacation of stay and render
justice to Sri V.R. Surendra Babu in seniority and promote him to the post of
Superintendent in Inter State Joint Project Sri M. Madhusudhan should be sent back from
O.D to his original post.

Heard all points of view mentioned by the two sides affected. From Government
side Sri Rajeev Trivedi, IPS, Additional Secretary stated Government‟s point of view; from
DG&IG of Police side Sri I.J.Nagia, IPS, Additional Director General of Police
(Administration) stated the views of Head of the Department; from Commandant,
SAR,CPL, Amberpet, Sri K.S.N.Murthy, Administrative Officer stated the point of view of
his office.
Additional D.G.P., Sri Nagia, IPS elucidated the facts relevant to the case covered
by OMC D.O.Lr.NO.06/88/OMC(A-1)/2003-1, dt.28.6.2003 on the representation of Sri
R.Venkateswarlu, Assistant Commissioner of Police, Headquarters, Hyderabad. Sri Nagia
mentioned that the staffing structure of SAR,CPL, Amberpet was rather peculiar with a
very broad base and narrow top from C.I. onwards which left very little scope for
promotions at all levels from S.I. onwards. As the cadre management authority, the D.G &
I.G.P., therefore had to seek opportunities where the staff could get some relief by way of
promotions through deputations. It is because of this that the officers of the rank of S.I.
and C.I. were being deputed wherever there was demand from Organisations like the
Intelligence Bureau, Excise etc. The deputations provided for promotion opportunities
which were lacking in the SAR, CPL, Amberpet.
A number of persons who are opposing the petition of Sri R.Venkateswarlu, ACP,
Headquarters, Hyderabad and others mentioned that it is not only SAR, CPL, Amberpet
from which people had been deputed to Intelligence Bureau and other Organisations but a
large number were also deputed from the regular police force. If one vacancy had
generated about three promotions through the process of deputation in SAR, CPL,
Amberpet, they were ready to give instances where through the same process in the City
Police one vacancy had generated even nine promotions. The lists furnished by them are
enclosed for DGP‟s scrutiny and report.
Sri R.Venkateswarlu gave a list of 27 RSIs from SAR, CPL, Amberpet along with
their notional dates, who were sent to various departments. According to him the process
of deputation had resulted in promotions to all of them with notional dates which were
traced to the junior most persons who held the post of C.I. in SAR, CPL, Amberpet, by
promotion in the vacancies created by their deputation. He mentioned that the total
number of sanctioned posts of C.Is. in SAR, CPL, Amberpet is only 6 (six), whereas the
total number of C.Is. who originally belong to this unit but are on deputation as well as in
the unit itself is 27. In other words the 6 posts have generated 5 times the number of
promotions which is a very odd phenomenon. This has affected the opportunities which
should have gone to the incumbents of the regular police force because most of the
deputations are in Multi-Zone-II to which Zone-VI belongs. The petitioner himself belongs
to City Police (which was till recently excluded from the operation of Presidential Order, till
the Judgement of the Hon‟ble High Court brought it under Zone-VI). Hence City Police was
on par with SAR, CPL, Amberpet both being excluded organizations. The opposite side has
in its petition pointed out that the City Police was also a beneficiary of similar multiple
promotions generated by one deputation in Multi-Zone-II. Therefore, Sri Venkateswarlu
had no cause for grievance as the process of deputation and generation of multiple
promotions through it, had benefited both the City Police as well as SAR, CPL, Amberpet.
The Additional DGP said that the persons from regular police and City Police were
often unwilling to go to Intelligence wing. Therefore the promotions were given to SAR
CPL, Amberpet incumbents, who were willing to go on deputation. The Intelligence wing
also was unwilling to relieve those who were already there and adjusted them to
promotion posts when their promotions in the parent organisations became due.
It is good that this meeting was held and the Commission also appreciates that all
sides have come fully prepared and the Addl. DGP threw light on the whole system of
One Man Commission (SPF) 223 Final Report
deputations in the police department and the ground realities governing such deputations.
The Commission appreciates the difficulties of the cadre management authorities in such a
vast and varied department. However the Commission‟s task is limited and that is to
ensure that there is no deviation from the letter and spirit of the Presidential Order as it
represents a very delicate balance of a political settlement.
In the first place the procedure being followed in the department regarding
deputations is not in conformity with Fundamental Rules and Executive Instructions issued
thereon in Part-V, Chapter-XII of Fundamental Rules and General Rules 8, 10, 11, 18 and
21 that govern deputation. Normally a person on deputation cannot be given promotion
while he is away. It is only when he joins his parent organisation that he can get
promotion. He cannot get promotion in-absentia. But in police department, it now
emerged that the persons are promoted in-absentia while on deputation in the other wings
of department or in other departments and they get adjusted to promotion posts in those
departments, and the same vacancy generates multiple promotions in the parent wing of
the department.
In fact the concept of deputation is that a person goes on tenure for a fixed period.
When he is due for promotion in the parent unit he has to come back to get the
promotion. Otherwise his lien as such cannot be promoted, only the person can be
promoted. But here the whole system has been to promote the lien and on that basis the
person gets promotion post in the organisation where he is on deputation. This system
militates against the service rules.
All the provisions of Fundamental Rules and the Executive Instructions issued
thereon in Chapter-XII and all the provisions related to deputation in General Rules
mentioned above have been over looked totally.
1) Other wings of the police department viz., Intelligence, Grey Hounds, Railway
Police, SIB, SSF and Police Training College. (Intelligence Wing, Railway Police, PTC falls
under GSR 527(E)).
2) Three of these organisations are excluded from the Presidential Order under
para 14. But all the three are expected to take deputationists (1) legally and (2) on a fair
share basis of para 9(B) of G.O.P.No.728. This has not happened, which means, strictly
speaking, the various zones have been deprived of sending their local candidates on
deputation. At their cost, it is the excluded organisation SAR, CPL, Amberpet that has
gained, but not exclusively. It is also alleged that deputationsts are there in these
excluded organisation from city police hich also till recently was an excluded organisation.
One of the circulars of D.G. & I.G.P. shows that for security wing of Intelligence proportion
of posts was made between the two multi-zones and also SAR, CPL, Amberpet. However
this does not satisfy the requirements of para 9(B) of G.O.P No.728 for the following
reasons:-
a). Para 9(B) of G.O.P.No.728 does not contemplate deputation taking place
from an excluded organisation either to a localised cadre or to another excluded
organisation. Excluded organisations can be recipients of deputationists and they are not,
in the scheme of Presidential Order and G.O.P. No.728 lending organisations.
b). Secondly the fair share is very specifically laid down in Para 9(B) in terms of
a formula, based on basic cadre strength of each local area (District/Zone/Multi-zone as
the case may be). In practice the police department has found it very difficult to follow
this. But since any deviation from Para 9(B) under the Presidential Order affects the
promotion opportunities of persons in localised cadre it falls under the category of
deviations of Presidential Order. The deviation gets compounded when it is basically also in
violation of the relevant Fundamental Rules and General Rules cited herein above.
affected. It is only after City Police has come under localisation after the High Court
Judgement that any right of deputation accrues to the City Police officials.
After the High Court Judgement, the City Police become a part of local cadre and
the posts of ARI, RI belongs to zone-VI. Hereafter the DG&IGP would, it is hoped, take
into account the formula 9(B) and work out the fair share in giving deputations to
excluded wings mentioned above.
In as far as Grey Hounds, SIB and SSF they are not included in any GSR. Perhaps
they were created long after the Presidential Order. Again legally speaking they become
part of local cadres and local cadres should be formed in them. But why they are taking
people on deputation is because it is important for them to have selectivity of individual
suitability for particular nature of the organisation. Here again being localised
organisations their selection should be limited only to the same local cadre (District/Zone
as the case may be). It would be advisable, if the D.G. & IGP feels that localised
deputation will create constraints to selectivity, than these should be brought under GSR
527(E) like the Intelligence wing. But even then they will not be able to escape the
application of Para 9(B) of G.O.P. No.728.
The entire case shows that there is need for the following action.
(1). To rework out the entire set of promotion dates by applying the Fundamental
Rules and Service Rules pertaining to deputation so that the violation of these rules which
has resulted in multiple deputations and wrongful advantages is set-right and the
promotion dates are revised and given according to the Fundamental Rules and General
Rules cited hereinabove.
In saying this, it is not the Presidential Order that we are applying. If the Presidential
Order is to be applied all the deputations should be revised retrospectively based on Para
9(B).
(a). Printing Press: There is no deputation involved because the government have
created a post which was allotted by DG&IGP to SAR, CPL, Amberpet and the C.I. from
there is supposed to go on other duty to the Press but not on deputation.
(b). Excise & other departments: The deputation to these departments are not to any
excluded organisation of the department but to the cadres which should be localised
One Man Commission (SPF) 226 Final Report
cadres. The task force should also be a localised cadre and the deputation should only
be from the same local cadre (District/Zone) of the police department not from an
excluded organisation like SAR,CPL, Amberpet or City Police which was hitherto an
excluded organisation.
(3). The seniorities and promotion dates would necessarily have to be revised in the light
of the observations of the Commission.

Present:
Sarvasri
1). This Department Deputy Executive Engineers are posted to Hyderabad Metro Water
Works & Sewerage Board according to the number required by them. It is they who do
the deployment within the Department. The Public Health Engineering Department has no
idea whom they post to the projects and whom to the Departmental posts.
2). Initially 48 posts were calculated for the projects and the Special Office of Hyderabad
Metro Water Works & Sewerage Board shown against Public Health Engineering
Department notified under GSRs in the Presidential Order. According to the Fair Share
formula prescribed in para 9(B) of G.O.P.No.728, G.A (SPF-A) Dept., dt. 1-11-75 these 48
posts were apportioned among all the zones including the City cadre (which he calls Zone-
VII). The Deputy Executive Engineers were posted in that proportion. Presently there are
only 26 Deputy Executive Engineers from other zones in the Department against 48 posts
in the projects and the Special Office. The total number of posts in the Department is 82.
Whether deputationists from other zones are posted in the Department or the projects is
not known to the Public Health Engineering Department.
3). He agrees that all the projects including the notified in the Presidential Order against
Public Health Engineering Department under GSR 525(E) Manjeera Water Supply Scheme,
Second Phase and Remodelling of Water distribution system in the twin cities have been
completed long time ago, though not notified as completed. They are under maintenance
One Man Commission (SPF) 230 Final Report
phase. However the deputations are being made as if projects exist. In spite of projects
being completed the 48 project posts have not been disbanded by the Department and are
being utilised in the Hyderabad Metro Water Works & Sewerage Board. The Special Office
under GSR 526(E) Manjeera Investigation Circle is also closed down.
4). Two new projects have been started one, Krishna Drinking Water Supply Project the
other Mega City Project Work is going on in the concerned areas. But the headquarters for
the Divisions and Sub-divisions for those works are located, at least for the present, in
Hyderabad city. These projects are not notified as Major Development Project under GSR
525(E), issued under the Presidential Order. The Department proposed to get them
notified.
5). The Department itself has most of the posts in Hyderabad city. But there are a few
Sub-divisions located outside the city in Ranga Reddy District and Medak District.
Mr.Latif Khan from O/o M.D., Hyderabad Metro Water Works & Sewerage Board confirmed
the above facts.
1). That the projects having been completed, there is no project work for the
Assistant Executive Engineers & Deputy Executive Engineers in these projects. Therefore
there are no posts in the projects as such. The only work is maintenance work which is not
project work but regular Departmental function. The posts of Assistant Executive
Engineers / Deputy Executive Engineers intended for projects are being utilised in the
Department for the departmental functions. Therefore there are no grounds for sending
anybody to the Department on deputation basis which is intended only for the projects
under the aforesaid para 9(B). Since all the Deputy Executive Engineers are engaged in
departmental work and occupy departmental posts only they should be posted according
to the local cadre rules. As the HMWS&S Board is under the City Cadre under GSR 528(E)
all the AEE & Deputy Executive Engineer posts located in the “City of Hyderabad” (as
notified in the First Schedule of Presidential Order) should be occupied only by the
Assistant Executive Engineers & Deputy Executive Engineers from the City Cadre.
One Man Commission (SPF) 231 Final Report
2). All the Assistant Executive Engineers & Deputy Executive Engineers posts
located in Medak and R.R. Districts should be occupied only by those from zone-VI cadre.
3). All the Assistant Executive Engineers & Deputy Executive Engineers deputed
from other zones than the City Cadre should be withdrawn except those from VI zone who
are occupying the posts located in the VI zone i.e. in Medak district or Ranga Reddy
District.
4). Hyderabad Metro Water Works & Sewerage Board will send to the ENC (PHED)
immediately within 48 hours a list of the posts of Assistant Executive Engineers & Deputy
Executive Engineers whose offices or Sub-divisions are located in the City of Hyderabad
and in zone-VI.
5). The two new projects under Krishna Drinking Water Project & Mega City Project
cannot at present be treated as Major Development Projects. Therefore the posts
belonging to these projects should be treated like all other departmental posts. Since the
offices and sub-divisions of the projects are presently located in “City of Hyderabad”, these
posts belong to the City Cadre. If and when the offices are shifted to the project sites
those posts shall be filled from the concerned zone in which the offices are located.
6). The Hyderabad Metro Water Works & Sewerage Board representative
mentioned that proposals are being submitted to the Government for notification of the
Krishna Drinking Water Project & Mega City project under GSR 525 (E). As and when
these are notified under GSR 525 (E) the Public Health Engineering Department will work
out the fair share proportions for deputation from each zone, and depute accordingly.
8) As and when Krishna Drinking Water Project & Mega City Project or any other
Project is notified under GSR 525 (E), the order deputing the Assistant Executive
Engineers and Deputy Executive Engineers should specifically mentioned that they are
One Man Commission (SPF) 232 Final Report
intended for the Projects and cannot be shifted to the Department as that would be in
contravention of the Presidential Order.
9) The Department has to work out and review retrospectively from the date of
completion of each project and calculate how many non-local Assistant Executive
Engineers and Deputy Execurtive Enginners have worked there since that date and
retrospectively calculate the seniority and promotions lost by the local Assistant Executive
Engineers and Deputy Executive Engineers of the concerned zone “City Cadre” or VI zone
as the case may be. The Department should take action to restore to those deprived
incumbents their wrongfully lost seniorities and promotions. Similarly the wrongfully
gained seniorities and promotions of the incumbents from other zones would have to be
reworked out retrospectively and revised accordingly.
Action taken on all the points may please be intimated to this Commission and to
Government in M.A & U. D Department and G.A (SPF) Department.
It was pointed to the Deputy Chief Engineer (PHED) that they have not been
sending reports to the references made by this Commission. He has promised to send the
reports within 48 hours.

Sub: OMC (SPF) – Appointment of candidates selected by APPSC for the post of
Assistant Executive Engineers by replacement of temporary Assistant
Executive Engineers- Proceedings of meeting – Communicated – Reg.
* * *
The petitioners have pointed out the irregularities in the recruitment of Assistant
Executive Engineers by the Panchayati Raj Engineering department in the years 1991 to
1995. These Assistant Executive Engineers were recruited from among the work charged
employees of different levels from Tracers to Work Inspectors. The Assistant Executive
Engineers should have been recruited through Public Service Commission. But the
government had permitted recruitment from among the work charged employees.
The case of the Association is that the Public Service Commission had recruited
some candidates for the posts of Assistant Executive Engineers on a notification issued by
the government. The government had cancelled this notification after the recruitment and
hence these candidates were not taken by the government and remained without any
appointment.
The candidates who had been appointed from among the work charged employees
continue to occupy the posts without regularisation which has not yet taken place. The
candidates were not taken on the basis of the Presidential Order. They were also taken
without any merit test. Being already employed their elevation to the post of Assistant
Executive Engineers is in the nature of promotion but it was called direct appointment.
The matter was discussed with the Engineer-in-Chief (PR) today. He mentioned that
he had already written that the appointments were done under government orders for
meeting an emergency situation of completing the programme of works under UK Aid.
One Man Commission (SPF) 234 Final Report
The limited point for consideration of this Commission is whether in appointing the
work charged employees to the posts of Assistant Executive Engineers, the Presidential
Order was properly followed. The Engineer-in-Chief (PR) has mentioned that they had
abided by the ratio of 60 per cent posts being given to the local candidates and 40 per
cent were treated by them as a quota for non-locals. Even in this calculation they have 8
local candidates less and 8 non-local candidates more in terms of this percentage as
under:
There are two flaws in the recruitment in as far as the Presidential Order is
concerned.
1). The department has not verified the local status of the candidates in terms of
para-7 of the Presidential Order. The E-in-C (PR) and his officers admitted that
whoever was working in a particular zone was treated as a local candidate of that zone
since work charged employees were not taken and posted on the basis of the Presidential
Order, this criterion of place of work would not be relevant for knowing whether a
candidate is a local or non-local for the zone to which he was appointed.
2). The second flaw is that they have treated 40% as a quota for non-locals which
is not correct. It is the percentage for merit candidates.
Even in the context of these flaws we find that as seen from the above table, in
zone-II, III and IV there are more than 60% so called local candidates as per the criterion
applied; but in zone-V and VI there are 8 candidates less among local candidates in the
60% quota.
therefore is whether the candidates selected by the Public Service Commission should
replace these incumbents in office who have been appointed in contravention of the
Presidential Order.
The scope of the Commission‟s Terms of Reference does not permit it to decide on
this claim. If the government have decided that they shall not appoint these APPSC
selected candidates, it is between the government and those candidates. There is nothing
that this Commission has to say about their claim.
But as far as the validity of the appointment of the present incumbents stands, as
already mentioned above the appointments are made in violation of the Presidential Order.
The remedial action logically would be to ascertain the local candidate status of
each incumbent and put him in his local zone. The non-locals have no quota. 40% is a
merit quota. This is not a direct recruitment done on merit. So this 40% for non-locals has
no meaning. There is also no way of finding out who would have been in the merit quota
at that time. This will show:-
In „A&B‟ the local candidates can occupy the vacancies upto 100%. In „C‟ all the
local candidates can occupy the vacancies even though these exceed 80%. The balance
vacancies left will go to the non-local who are the excess locals of „A‟ above. In case of D,
all the local candidates can occupy vacancies to the extent of their number. The shortfall
from 80% should be treated as local vacancies carried forward as a backlog. 40%
vacancies can be filled from among the excess of local candidates of „A‟, who will occupy
the vacancies as non-local candidates.
The backlog can be made good through the same method as was used in this
impugned recruitment, i.e., by special direct recruitment from among Work Inspectors
who would be local candidates for the zone in „D‟ category. If however there are not
enough local candidates available, then they should be recruited as A.E.Es from the open
market by a special recruitment.
One Man Commission (SPF) 236 Final Report
The excess non-locals will have to occupy supernumerary posts in the zone in which
they are local candidates. Government can also revert them as Work Inspectors to become
part of the surplus manpower pool.

GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH
ONE MAN COMMISSION (SPF)
Ref: 1. Representation from Sri J. Yadaiah, Sr. Asst. Regional Joint Director‟s
Office, Hyderabad dated 16/08/2001 and 24/02/2003 and 25/08/2003.
2. From the Commissioner, Technical Education, Lr. No. 20690/2000 dated
03/07/2002, 29/11/2002 and 07/05/2003.

* * *
Hearing was held on 24/02/2003. The Petitioner and the Officials of the Technical
Education Department attended the Hearing.
This is a peculiar case where three State Level Institutions of the Department of
Technical Education were treated as Institutions of city cadre right from the beginning of
the Presidential Order. And the recruitment for the post of LDCs and equivalent level either
through the Public Service Commission or Employment Exchange directly was done for the
vacancies of the City Cadre. Other offices of the Department in the city and these
Institutions together took the vacancies as a pool and allotments were made from out of
the candidates recruited for all those pooled vacancies. For promotions also, the common
seniority has been taken for the city cadre personnel along with the personnel of
these three State Level Institutions treating them as interchangeable and as common unit
One Man Commission (SPF) 238 Final Report
of appointment. Actually, each of the State Level Institutions should have been treated as
a separate unit of appointment and each of the city cadre establishments like Polytechnics
etc. should also have been treated as separate units of appointments. Instead of doing
this all the city cadre establishments including these State Level Institutions were treated
as a single unit of appointment. Deputy Director and Assistant Director who appeared
were unable to show either the Service Rules or the scheme of localization approved for
the Department after the Presidential Order. They mentioned that they were following the
AP Ministerial Service Rules.
are outside the purview of the Presidential Order excepting that if they take staff on tenure
basis, they should do so under the principle of equitable sharing laid down in para 11 (ii)
of the clarificatory G.O.P.No.728, dt: 01.11.1975 (Page 55 of the Guide Lines Book).
In the beginning for about 10 to 15 years, the Department has followed the wrong
practice of directly recruiting to the vacancies of these three Institutions pooling them with
the vacancies of the city cadre establishments. In case of direct recruitment to such
Institutions each should have been treated as a unit of appointment itself with internal
seniority and promotion. But here the seniority, promotions etc., were integrated with
those of the city cadre establishments. Thus, the seniorities of personnel of both City Level
Institutions and of these Institutions got distorted and one is not able to say who have
gained and who lost in such an invalid integrated seniority.
The Commission does not have the scheme of the localization of the Department to
say whether that Scheme has anything to do with such an invalid integration. However,
Deputy Director and Assistant Director personally told the Commission that the
Department has rectified the mistake prospectively and now they are taking staff on
tenure basis only on the equitable proportions principle laid down in Para 9 (B) of G.O.P.
728 dated 01-11-1975.
One Man Commission (SPF) 239 Final Report
The grievance in this case is from the person (Petitioner) belonging to “City Cadre
establishment” who feels that the integration of their seniority with the State Level
Institutions has adversely affected his chances of promotion. However, neither he nor the
Department are in a position to say what he has lost and if so who has gained by the
integration. The Petitioner was therefore asked to workout and say what he has lost by
the integration seniority so that specific redressal can be ordered after examining his
specific grievance. He has however not been able to say what redressal he needs or what
has been the loss.
However, in due course of time, the petitioner has submitted the relevant
information to the Commission in the reference 3 rd cited and the same was sent for the
remarks of the Commissioner of Technical Education. But no reply has been received,
from the Head of the Department.
The aspect of this case in general is one of contravension of the Presidential Order
by the Department by adopting the wrong procedure mentioned above which has totally
distorted the seniorities and the prospects of all concerned. This is an issue that has to be
taken cognisance of by the Government so that such a thing do not happen again, or
elsewhere. The Government may kindly issue clear instructions in this regard so that if
there are any other Departments committing similar mistakes, they may desist from doing
so.
In the specific case of this Petitioner and the Department this Commission suggests
the following Remedial Action to the Government:
The cadre strength of each of State-level Institution and City cadre
offices should be demarcated in respect of each category. Through options,
persons may be allocated to each of the cadres. By fixing some criteria of
merit etc., the allocation of staff to each unit should be completed. The
seniority etc. should be re-fixed as per that merit. Seniorities should be
fixed for each unit of appointment. Necessary changes may be made in the
Service Rules to disentangle each of the State level Institutions from the
City cadre offices. The future recruitment to each of the State-level
Institution should be made separately as a separate unit of appointment so
also the seniority, promotion etc. The offices within the city of Hyderabad
which fall under City cadre can have integrated cadre separate from the
State-level Institutions.
One Man Commission (SPF) 240 Final Report
The Government may also kindly instruct the Technical Education Department to
stop this wrong practice if they have not already stopped it; The
Department should take the staff on tenure basis as laid down in para 11 (ii) of the G.O.P.
No.728, dt:01.11.1975 or by direct recruitment treating these State Level Institutions, City
Cadre Institutions as separate Units of appointment, respectively.

GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH
ONE MAN COMMISSION (SPF)
Sub:- OMC(SPF) – Sri Y.R. Sathi Reddy, Dy.E.E. (HMWS&SB) – PH&ME Department
– Individual Petition – Proceedings – Regarding.
***
In the Representation first cited the Petitioner Sri Y.R. Sathi Reddy, Deputy
Executive Engineer, Public Health & Municipal Engineering Department (now i/c Municipal
Engineer, Cuddapah Municipality) has contended that most of the posts of DEEs in
Hyderabad Metro Water Supply and Sewerage Board are actually located in the zone VI,
exclusively attending to the work relating to the Districts which come under zone VI, but
all these posts are being treated as posts of Major Development Projects and hence
requested for suitable remedial action to protect the interest of the AEEs/DEEs of Zone VI.
The Representation has been heard; the officials of the Chief Engineer (Public
Health) Department, HMWS&SB and Secretariat attended. The Petitioner, however, did
not attend the Hearing.
The Deputy Chief Engineer, Public Health stated that initially 48 posts were
calculated for the Projects and the Special Office of HMWS&SB shown against Public Health
Engineering Department notified under GSRs in the Presidential Order. According to the
Fair Share formula prescribed in Para 9 (B) of G.O.P. No.728, GA (SPF.A) Department,
dated 01.11.1975 these 48 posts were apportioned among all the zones including the City
Cadre (which he calls Zone-VII). The DEEs were posted in that proportion. Presently
there are only 26 DEEs from other zones in the Department against 48 posts in the
Projects and Special Office. The total number of posts in the Department is 82. Whether
deputationists from other zones are posted in the Department or the Projects is not known
to the Public Health Engineering Department.
One Man Commission (SPF) 242 Final Report
The Deputy Chief Engineer has agreed that all the Projects including those notified
in the Presidential Order against Public Health Engineering Department under GSR 525 (E)
Manjeera Water Supply Scheme, Second Phase and Remodeling of Water Distribution
System in the twin cities have been completed long time ago, though not notified as
completed. They are under maintenance phase. However, the deputations are being
made as if Projects exist. In spite of Projects being completed the 48 Project posts have
not been disbanded by the Department and are being utilised in the HMWS&SB. The
Special Office under GSR 526 (E) Maneru Investigation Circle is also closed down.
As per the copy of the Letter No.1235/CS3/94, dated 02.09.1996 of the Engineer-
in-Chief, Public Health addressed to the Principal Secretary to the Government, MA&UD
Department, the status of the Major Development Projects and the Special Office /
Establishment of HMWS&SB is as follows:
Sanctioned in the year 1971-72 and was completed in the year 1982.
Having heard the case and on going through the record the Commission holds that
the posts of AEEs and DEEs that have, from time to time ceased to be utilised for Projects
works, should not have been treated as Project Posts right from the actual time when they
ceased to be used for Project works. But, ever since, they have been diverted, de-facto,
on ground, to regular department for regulatory and maintenance work. From that time
onwards they ceased to fall under the purview of the item (e) of Para-14 of the
Presidential Order and ceased to be excluded from the purview of the Presidential Order.
But, the Engineer-in-Chief has been treating them wrongly as Project posts and sending
incumbents from other zones on deputation to these posts.
One Man Commission (SPF) 243 Final Report
In the instant case of the HMWS&SB, the two Major Development Projects and the
Special Office/Establishment have been completed long ago. Hence, it is irrelevant
whether such Projects have not been formally notified as completed for various technical
and financial considerations. The rationale is that, where any post ceases to be utilised for
the Projects work and is diverted to the regular department for utilisation on departmental
functions, like regulatory or maintenance work, it cannot be treated as a Project post,
under item (e) of Para 14 of the Presidential Order. Hence, the moment of a post ceased
to be utilised actually and de-facto on ground on Project work it should have been included
in the localization scheme of the department, as otherwise the local candidates will be
deprived of their rightful opportunities of zonal seniorities and promotions and
consequential concomitant benefits.
In the circumstance, it is hereby held that the Department has to work out and
review retrospectively from the date of completion of each Project and calculate how many
non-local AEEs & DEEs have worked there since that date and retrospectively calculate the
seniority and promotions lost by the local AEEs and DEEs of the concerned local area, City
Cadre or VI Zone, as the case may be. The Department should take action to restore to
those deprived incumbents their wrongfully lost seniorities and promotions; similarly, the
wrongfully gained seniorities and promotions of the incumbents from other zones would
have to be reworked out retrospectively and revised accordingly; including that of the
Petitioner Sri Y.R. Sathi Reddy.
