DOPT's CLARIFICATION ON PARMAR CASE IMPLEMENTATION

The DOPT in its reply to the CBDT, which has sought clarificaiton on interpretation of the provisions of DOPT OM dated 4-3-2014, It is stated that,

•  it would not be feasible/desirablrt to give generalized opinon in respect of pending  court cases, as every case would have to be dealt with in its own context, while applying the provisions of laid down policy. However basing on the general observations of DOPTs OM dated 4-3-2014, the provisions of the OM dated 7.2.86/3.7.86  remain applicable till 27-11-2012. 

• The cases of seniority which have been settled based on the available/implied interpretaton of OM dated 7.2.86/3.7.86 NEED NOT BE SUO MOTO REVISITED as it would unsettle the cadre dynamics.

•  "IN THE SPECIFIC CONTEXT OF INCOME TAX DEPARTMENT, WHEREIN THE INTER-SE SENIORITY OF DIRECT RECRUITS AND PROMOTEES HAVE BEEN UNDER DISPUTE ON GROUNDS OF MIS-INTERPRETATION OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE OM DATED 7.2.86/3.7.86 AND HAS LED TO PARMAR JUDGEMENT OF SUPREME COURT, IT IS UNAMBIGUOUSLY CONFIRMED THAT THE INTIRE ISSUE OF SENIORITY OF THE OFFICERS OF INCOME TAX DEPARTMENT WOULD HAVE TO BE REVISTED IN COMPLIANCE OF THE JUDGEMENT OF THE SUPREME COURT."
