https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=195914 Rule 5(2) of the Central Administrative Tribunal (Group B and C Miscellaneous Posts) Recruitment Rules, 1989 governs seniority of employees absorbed from deputation under Rule 5(1), and seniority must be fixed by reference to the dates of regular appointment to the relevant posts. Where officers are absorbed on the same date and that basis does not resolve inter se rank, the proviso preserves seniority by recognising equivalent posts held in the parent department. An official memorandum cannot override the recruitment rules, and past service in an equivalent post remains relevant for seniority on absorption. The employees were therefore entitled to the benefit of service rendered in equivalent parent-department posts. en-us Tue, 21 Sep 1999 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 14:44:30 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=195914 Rule 5(2) of the Central Administrative Tribunal (Group B and C Miscellaneous Posts) Recruitment Rules, 1989 governs seniority of employees absorbed from deputation under Rule 5(1), and seniority must be fixed by reference to the dates of regular appointment to the relevant posts.
