ORDER:
In the reference first read above an adhoc rule was issued as follows "Not with
standing anything contained in the Andhra Pradesh State and Subordinate Service Rulesor in the Special Rules or in adhoc rules, the Government employees, who have crossed 45 years of age shall be exemted from passing the Departmental Test prescribed in the Special Rules/Adhoc Rules for the purpose of promotion to the next higher category (i.e.) promotion/appointment by transfer to a post above the one held by him/her if they could not pass the same. In the references second to fourth read above clarification were issuedon applicability of the adhoc rules.
2. The policy of the Government enuciated in the adhoc rule, is to exempt employees from passing of the departmental tests/special tests in respect of those who crossed 45 years of age, for the purpose of promotion appointment by transfer toimmediate next higher post, above the one held by the employee, if the employee couldnot pass the same. This concession was to consider the employee for only one promotion after initial appointment to public service, taking into consideration the fact that the individual in spite of his of her best efforts to qualify himself or herself, could not pass the same owing any personal reasons.
3. Certain employees have challenged the adhoc rule and the clarifications thereon
in the court of Law. The Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal in its directions in
O.A.No.7612/1998 referred to the Judgement of the High Court of Andhra Pradesh and observed as follows:-
The petitioners before the High Court in W.P.No.26310/98 also got promotiois
from the category of LDCs to the category of Superintedents and the High Court directed that their cases should be considered for further promotion to the post of Assistant Register/Assistant Controller/Administrative Officer. Though the High Court has not specifically considered the legality of the clarification at Sl.No.5 in Memo No. 10922/Ser.C/98 dated 26-03-1998. when it was contended that the petitioners in the Writ Petition are not entitled for exemption from passing Accounts Test as they were promoted earlier as Superintendents even though they did not pass Accounts Test, the High Court observed as follows:
The argument, that petitioners were promoted to posts of Superintendents though they did not pass the Accounts Test and are not entitled to promotion to next stage, is also without merit. The promotion to the post of Superintendent was on basis of proceedings dated 27- 12-1989, which confined promotion only to one stage. The petitioners are seeking benefit now of G.O.Ms.NO.165, dt.22-4-1997. This is independent of procceedings dt.27-12- 1989. The G.O. does not exclude employee who had received benefit of proceedings of 1989. Hence the argument cannot be accepted.
Theaforesaid observations show that even persons who have got promotions earlier in the service are entitled for getting promotion to one higher post in terms of adhoc rule issued in G.O.Ms.No.165, G.A.D. dt.22-4-1997.
4. Keeping in view of the above observatins, it is decided to omit the wording if
they could not pass the same occurring in the adhoc rule and to recast the adhoc rule to be clear and specific in depicting the policy of the Government. Accordingly, the following notification is issued.
5. The adhoc rule here by made shall be deemed to have come into force with
effect from 22nd April, 1997.
