OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Finalisation of Common Seniority List (CSL) of Steno. Grade ‘C’ – Select List Years 1991,1992 and 1993 – reg.

The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department’s OM of even number dated 7.3.2008 on the subject mentioned above and to say that the CSL of Steno. Grade ‘ C ‘ for the Select List Years 1991,1992, was prepared in accordance with Regulation 3 (3) of the Central Secretariat Stenographers Service (preparation of common seniority list) regulations 1971 by following the principle:-
‘Subject to their inter se seniority in their respective cadre being maintained, the names of those officers appointed to the grade as direct recruits on the basis of competitive examination shall be arranged according to their order of merit in the competitive examination, persons appointed from an earlier examination being placed above those appointed from a later examination. In this combined list of direct recruits, the names of persons regularly appointed to the grade from the select lists for that grade shall be arranged by placing each such officer immediately above the senior most direct recruit who is junior to him in his cadre. The promotee Grade ‘C’ Stenos, who do not find a place in the Common Seniority List because of the absence of the direct recruits belonging to a particular year shall be placed en-bloc at the bottom of the Common Seniority List pertaining to that year, below the last direct recruit, on the basis of the date of their regular appointment in the grade without disturbing their inter-se-position’,

2. Accordingly, the draft CSL was forwarded to all the cadre authorities for circulating among the Steno. Grade ‘ C ‘ concerned with a view to invite representations/objections, if any, relating to any factual inaccuracy and order of their placement in the list. Cadres were also requested to verify the correctness of the particulars such as date of regular appointment, date of birth and also to forward the names of Stenos. Grade ‘ C ‘ shown in the list who have already been appointed as PS on regular basis against SQ \& DE quota, to this Department.
3. It is further brought to the notice of all concerned that direct recruitment to Steno Grade C for the years 1993 and 1994 was stopped, and the vacancies meant for these years were filled up through DE quota and Seniority Quota in equal proportion vide this Department Order NO. 10/3/93-CS.II dated 21.6.95. Hence, the CSL-1993 has been prepared in accordance with the following principles:-
   ‘Subject to their inter-se seniority in their respective cadres, Limited Departmental Competitive Examination (LDCE) candidates (i.e. Steno Gr. C )of the Select List 1993 shall be arranged in a single list in the order of their merit and Stenos Gr. ‘C’ of Seniority Quota
   -2-

appointees of the Select List-1993 are interpolated with them. In case there is no LDCE candidate in a particular Cadre or Select List Year or where there is no LDCE candidate, below a promotee against Seniority Quota, all such promotees against Seniority Quota shall be arranged on the basis of length of service maintaining inter-se, their cadre seniority intact”.

4. It is noted that most of the representations relate to the change in the rank number obtained by the Direct Recruit Grade ‘C’ Stenos. In this connection, it is stated that the reason for the change of rank number has already been clarified in para 2 of this Department’s OM of even number dated 7.3.2008. It is reiterated that it was noticed that the rank/merit number of the direct recruits of Steno Gr. ‘C’ in the Combined Merit List (i.e. list showing the common merit of English and Hindi Stenographers Grade ‘C’) had not been indicated by some of the cadres, in the Cadre seniority list, resulting in disorder to the extent that two direct recruits had been given the same rank number, which created difficulties in assigning proper placement in the list. With a view to obviate this difficulty and also to fix correct seniority, the rank number obtained by the direct recruits as indicated in the Combined Merit List provided by the Staff Selection Commission has been shown in the list against the direct recruits. It is further clarified that no candidate’s rank number has been changed to his/her disadvantage. On the basis of the information received from the cadre authorities, in some cases the order of placement has been revised, and the names of the Stenos. Grade ‘C’ who have already been appointed as PS/SO on regular basis have been deleted from the list. Further, wherever required, corrections regarding date of birth, spelling of the name(s) etc. have also been carried out in the list. Having regard to this, all the representations received will stand disposed of accordingly.

5. Accordingly, the Common Seniority List of Stenos. Grade ‘C’ has been finalised for the Select List Years -1991 and 1992 vide Annexure -I and for Select List Year -1993 vide Annexure II to this O.M. and it may be seen/downloaded on the web site of this Ministry i.e.:-
