The attention of District Educational Officer, West Godavari is invited to
the reference read above wherein certain clarifications were requested to clarify
whether Smt M Radha Devi, SGT, MPPS Kapulapeta, Chataparru, Eluru
Mandal who was previously promoted in the Year 2014 for the post of School
Assistant (BS) and joined as SA on 01.09.2014 and reverted back to the post of
SGT on her health grounds and joined as SGT on 25.09.2014 is eligible for
promotion to any post of School Assistant and its equivalent cadre as she was
reverted from School Assistant (BS)to SGT in the year 2014.
In a similar case, the Hon’ble Supreme court of India has issued judgment
in Civil Appeal No.337 of 2008 as follows:-
“the order of reversion imposing a condition that the appellant shall
forfeit permanently his chances for promotion the officer cadre is set aside
and it is directed that he shall forfeit his chances for promotion to the
officers cadre only for a period of two years from the date of order of
reversion”
In this case, the individual was reverted in 2014 (Two Years completed in
the reversion cadre).
Therefore the District Educational Officer, West Godavari, Eluru is
hereby instructed to consider the request of the individual for promotion as the
period from date of reversion is more than 2 years and also she is requested to
call for explanation from the individual for not attending previous promotion
counselling and requesting promotion after a gap of 5 years from the date of eligibility, if the explanation of the individual is not satisfactory, initiate
disciplinary action against the individual as per A.P.C.S (CCA) Rules, 1991.
