A recent administrative review by the central government has clarified the service status of a government officer, Shri Parasnath Singh. The review, prompted by directives from the Allahabad High Court, examined his claims regarding promotion, pension eligibility, and his allocation between successor states. While Mr. Singh contended he was due a substantive promotion and challenged his junior-most inclusion for a specific year despite receiving promotion pay, an Advisory Committee found his promotion to be honorary rather than substantive. Furthermore, his additional points were deemed outside the scope of reorganisation guidelines. Consequently, the government has upheld the Committee’s recommendation, confirming that Shri Parasnath Singh will continue to be allocated to the State of Uttarakhand. This decision resolves a long-standing personnel matter involving inter-state cadre allocation and promotion intricacies within the civil service.
