https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=192787 Probationary/Trainee Officers appointed after the appointed date under the State Bank of India Officers (Determination of Terms and Conditions of Service) Order, 1979 were not "existing officers" because that term covered only officers in service immediately before the appointed date. Their later fitment in Junior Management Grade: Scale-I and higher starting pay did not alter that position, so they could not claim seniority over erstwhile Officers Grade-II. The Order was also not impermissibly retrospective, as it operated from the appointed date only to reorganise the covered cadre and fix inter se seniority among those within it; no vested right of seniority of the later appointees was infringed. en-us Fri, 01 May 1987 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 18:15:32 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=192787 Probationary/Trainee Officers appointed after the appointed date under the State Bank of India Officers (Determination of Terms and Conditions of Service) Order, 1979 were not "existing officers" because that term covered only officers in service immediately before the appointed date.
