  • 20.04.2008: Inter-se-seniority between the SDEs Telecom promoted against 2/3rd and 1/3rd quota, as of now, will have to undergo changes following the Order passed by the Hon’ble Madras  High Court on 2nd April 2008 dismissing the Writ Petitions filed before it by the Government of India (represented by Secretary, Deptt of Telecom) and Member (Services), Telecom Commission and others challenging an order earlier passed by Hon’ble  Central Administrative Tribunal, Chennai  setting aside the seniority assigned to 270 SDEs Telecom of 1/3rd quota (competitive)  vide  DoT letter dated 1.2.2001. The Central Administrative Tribunal Chennai  held the view that “……. We would therefore hold that the rule 2(iii) contains an implicit condition that inter-se-seniority in the ratio of 2:1 shall operate only with reference to dates of regular appointments. Otherwise, as we have demonstrated, the rule leads to a position of giving the LDCE candidates the benefit of assignment of seniority as if they were appointed retrospectively against vacancies that occurred even prior to their satisfying the eligibility condition for promotion as per Recruitment Rules even though in fact they have not been and in fact could not be appointed retrospectively (Para 49 of CAT Order).”  Since the judgment speaks of the principle for deciding the inter-se-seniority between 2/3rd and 1/3rd quota candidates, it will have impact on the revised seniority list of 147 SDEs Telecom  of 1/3rd quota issued vide DoT No. 2-32/2001-STG.II dated 27th March 2008 and also on similar other seniority lists.
