AP files plea on CAT order

By S A Ishaqui
Hyderabad, July 20 : The state government on Monday appealed to the AP High Court against the orders of the Central Administrative Tribunal with regard to ex-cadre posts of IAS officers in the state.

The CAT had earlier directed the state government to scrap all the ex-cadre posts which were created illegally within four months.

The CAT gave the order in March after a senior IAS officer, Mr Shafiquzzaman, ap-proached the tribunal against creating ex-cadre posts. However, the state approached the HC challenging the order saying that there are practical difficulties in implementing the orders and contended the order was illegal.

The HC posted the matter to Wednesday.
