This order details revisions to the seniority regulations for Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS), and Indian Forest Service (IFoS) officers in the Haryana cadre. The changes stem from court rulings and aim to clarify the determination of seniority based on factors like continuous service as a Deputy Collector, year of allotment, and promotion versus direct recruitment. The order specifically addresses the seniority of officers appointed or promoted between 2009 and 2011, outlining how pre-amended seniority rules will be applied and how officers will be ranked relative to each other. It supersedes previous orders from 2012, 2013, and 2017 and is subject to ongoing court proceedings. The document provides detailed tables outlining the calculation of seniority weightage and the resulting order of officers within specific select lists.
