Hyderabad, April 4: Senior bureaucrat Shafiquzzaman on Friday filed a writ petition in the Andhra Pradesh High Court seeking a direction that the state government implement memos issued by the Union government with regard to cadre posts of IAS in the state. He informed the court that the government had posted senior officers in the posts which were held by the secretary cadre officers by creating temporary rank of principle secretary.
He said, "this kind of situation and circumstances are existing only because of the government promoting the IAS officers in the cadre of principal secretaries, despite non availability of vacancies of principal secretaries with reference to the cadre as well as ex cadre permissible under Rules". He alleged that the government had also posted some senior officers to junior posts artificially designating them as principal secretary rank, whereby they are subjected to humiliation and mental agony.
"This type of action on the part of the government has resulted in a case where 1985 batch officer, Ms Chitra Ramchandran, has replaced her 17 years senior and holding the rank of special, chief secretary Mr V P Jauhari, in recent transfers," he said citing an example. He further alleged the government was not utilising the senior officials’ experience and service, paying higher for a lower job, only to accommodate officers not entitled to hold the post of principal secretary.
