OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Select Lists for the years 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1988 of officers of the Central Secretariat Service for appointment to Grade I (Under Secretary grade) of the CSS.

It may be recalled that the Central Administrative Tribunal had in effect quashed the CSS Grade. I panels prepared for the years 1984, 1985, and 1986 by its judgement dated the 31st August, 1988 in OA No.1659/87 etc., filed by Shri Amrit Lal & others. Thereafter, there were protracted litigations between direct recruit and promotee Section Officers of the CSS for a period of about 10 years regarding inter se seniority. Finally, the Hon’ble Supreme Court by its judgement dated 9.5.97 directed the Central Government that the final Common Seniority List dated 15.5.96 may be redone in accordance with the law declared by it. In compliance with the aforesaid orders of the Hon’ble Supreme Court a fresh CSL of Section Officers was prepared and issued on 3.12.97.

1. Based on the revised seniority positions held by the CSS officers in the CSL dated 3.12.97, the panels for 1984, 1985 and 1986 have been reviewed by the DPC keeping in view the assurance given by Government in the affidavit dated 5.9.90 filed in the Hon’ble Supreme Court (in pursuance of the suggestions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court). Through the affidavit an undertaking was given by this Department to the effect that seniority already assigned to the 21 direct recruit Section Officers of 1977 batch included in the 1984 panel would remain intact. These officers had been rendered ineligible for inclusion in the 1984 panel consequent upon giving retrospective effect to the amendment to the CSS Rules notified in December 1984 with effect from 1.7.84 instead of 1.7.85 in compliance with the Supreme Court’s order as they did not possess 8 years approved service in the grade of Section Officers as on 1.7.84 as required under the amendment. However, as per the affidavit the aforesaid Direct Recruit Section Officers would have to be protected in regard to their position in the Select List of Grade I of CSS (Under Secretary Grade). Further, as per the undertaking given in the affidavit, in order to adjust equal number
