This order details the revised seniority regulations for IAS, IPS, and IFoS officers in the Karnataka cadre. It stems from a series of court cases and departmental orders concerning the application of amended seniority rules, particularly regarding the weightage given to service rendered in the rank of Deputy Collector and the year of allotment. The document meticulously reviews and re-determines the seniority of officers appointed through Select Lists between 2008 and 2011, applying pre-amended seniority rules and clarifying the order of precedence among officers. It supersedes previous orders on the matter and emphasizes adherence to court rulings and established regulations to ensure a fair and legally sound seniority list. The order also instructs relevant authorities to withdraw pending court cases related to the issue and to upload the revised regulations to the DOPT’s website.
