This order details the review and re-determination of seniority and year of allotment for IAS officers in the Jharkhand cadre. It stems from various court cases and orders, including those related to the amendment of seniority regulations for IAS/IPS/IFoS officers in 2012. The document outlines how the seniority of officers appointed between 2008 and 2011 has been adjusted based on pre-amended seniority rules, considering factors like continuous service, Deputy Collector rank experience, and relevant court rulings. Specific lists (2008-A, 2009, 2010, and 2011) are addressed with detailed tables showing the adjustments made to each officer’s seniority. The order also clarifies the placement of officers relative to each other based on their promotion status (RR vs. promotee) and year of allotment.
