The Jaipur bench of the court has further directed that the vacancies of the IAS cadre for year 1991-92 be filled not by way of promotion but by considering the rule of seven outstanding and very good entries in the ACRs in the span of seven years as against five outstanding entries in the period of seven years.
The order came on the petition filed by Ajay Singh Chittor, a senior RAS officer, who was the only one contesting the illegal preparation of the seniority list of RAS official by the government since year 2002.
"The selection criteria on the basis of merit has been changed from 7 out of 7 to 5 out of 7 outstanding/very good ACRs, which does not apply to those officers who were already considered on the basis of 7 out of 7 outstanding/very good ACRs and the same cannot be changed in view of the notification dated 30.11.1991 as this notification is having prospective effect not retrospective effect," Justice Karni Singh Rathore noted.
