OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Promotion of Steno Grade ‘D’ of CSSS to Steno Grade ‘C’ (PA) of CSSS on adhoc basis.

The undersigned is directed to say that it has been decided that till regular Steno Grade ‘C’ (PA) of CSSS become available through the normal channels of recruitment as prescribed under the CSSS Rules, the vacancies in the Steno Grade ‘C’ (PA) of CSSS in various cadres be filled up on adhoc basis by promoting the eligible officers figuring in the Common Seniority List of Steno. Grade ‘D’ on the basis of seniority-cum-fitness.

2. Accordingly, it has been decided to promote 279 Stenos. Grade ‘D’ (General Category) of CSSS, whose names are given in the Annexure to this O.M., to Steno Grade ‘C’ (PA) on adhoc basis and nominate them to the Cadres indicated against their names as shown in the Annexure. As far as possible, officials have been retained in their Cadre according to their position in the CSL, subject to availability of vacancies. Wherever it has not been possible, surplus officials in the Cadre(s) have been nominated to other Cadre(s) where vacancies are available to accommodate them.
3. Since the Common Seniority List beyond the Select List year 1994 is not available, it has been decided to make the adhoc promotion of all the eligible Steno Grade ‘D’ (belonging to SC and ST category) upto the Select List Year 2000 to the Steno Grade ‘C’ (PA) in their respective cadres.
4. The officials shown in the list at Annexure may be appointed as Steno. Grade ‘C’ of CSSS on adhoc basis, after assessing their suitability for promotion by screening the records (ACRs) of the officers by the appointing authority and also after ensuring that no vigilance case is either pending or being contemplated against them. The adhoc promotion/appointment would be subject to the following conditions:
   (i) The period of adhoc promotion would be upto 31.12 .2010 or till the regular Steno. Grade ‘C’ (PAs) of CSSS become available, whichever is earlier.
   (ii) The adhoc appointments shall not confer on the appointees any right to continue in the grade indefinitely or for inclusion in the Select List of Steno. Grade ‘C’ (PA) of CSSS for regular appointment or to claim seniority in the Steno. Grade ‘C’ (PA) of CSSS.
   (iii) The adhoc appointments may be terminated at any point of time without giving any reasons therefor.
   (iv) The effective date of adhoc promotion in respect of those found fit and clear from vigilance angle would be the date from which the officer concerned joins duty in the cadre to which he/she has been nominated.
5. It is requested that officials who have been allocated to other Cadres may be relieved of their duties immediately if they are assessed suitable for promotion by screening their ACRs and are clear from vigilance angle so that they can take up their assignment as Steno. Grade ‘C’ (PA-adhoc) of CSSS in the new Cadre.
6. If any of the officers shown in the list is on deputation, he/she may be given the option to revert within one month with a view to avail of the promotion.
7. If in a cadre, there is any shortage/excess in the representation in the categories of SCs and STs in terms of reservation rosters maintained by the respective Cadre Units, and if there is any vacancy remaining unfilled, full details thereto may please be furnished to this Department immediately.
8. It may be noted that the seniority of the regular Stenos. Grade ‘D’, who have been/are promoted as Steno. Grade ‘C’ (PA) of CSSS on adhoc basis and nominated to other cadres, would continue to be maintained by the cadres on whose strength they are borne, till they are appointed as regular Steno. Grade ‘C’ (PA) of CSSS and their names may not be deleted from the seniority list of the cadre concerned merely on the ground that they have been transferred to other cadres on their adhoc promotion.
9. It is requested that the exercise of conducting the DPC meeting and of relieving the officials, wherever required, may be completed within a period of one month at the earliest. A copy of the appointment order of the officials may be endorsed to this Department. It may be noted for strict compliance that no request for the retention of the official(s) concerned on any ground may be made to this Department. Further, the officials concerned who are clear from all angles may be relieved of their duties immediately without seeking their consent.
