https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=153131 Rule 11-A(2) treats minimum experience as the normal requirement for promotion, but its proviso allows relaxation where candidates with full prescribed experience are unavailable and promotion is in public interest. The provision must be read harmoniously so the proviso has practical effect, enabling the appointing authority to relax the remaining one-third of the experience period, record reasons in writing, and consider otherwise eligible candidates who have completed at least two-thirds of the prescribed experience. On that construction, claims for promotion had to be considered under the relaxed standard. en-us Tue, 03 Jan 1995 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 18:43:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=153131 Rule 11-A(2) treats minimum experience as the normal requirement for promotion, but its proviso allows relaxation where candidates with full prescribed experience are unavailable and promotion is in public interest.
