Hyderabad July 25: The home department has decided to prepare an integrated seniority list to prevent legal tangles in the promotion of deputy superintendents of police, sources said on Wednesday. The seniority issue has blocked filling up of 105 vacancies of DSPs, including in Intelligence, CID, City Central Crime Station and Special Branch. Nearly 300 circle inspectors belonging to the 1976 to 1985 batches are awaiting promotion.
Five inspectors of the 1976 batch approached the AP High Court over the abnormal delay in their promotions. The court directed the director-general of police and principal secretary, home, that the petitioners should be given promotion by the end of July. A senior police officer told this correspondent that is normal for ad hoc promotions to be given as per the list prepared by the department which was leading to legal tangles.
"We have decided to sort out the age old problem of challenging the seniority in the courts every time. Dozens of cases are pending in the court pertaining to seniority. This time we will prepare an integrated list. It will be completed in a month’s time," said a senior officer who is responsible for preparing the list.
