Hyderabad,July 21: A division bench of the Andhra Pradesh High Court granted interim stay on the orders issued by the Central Administrative Tribunal regarding abolition of ex-cadre posts of IAS officers in the government.
A division bench comprising Justice V. Eswaraiah and Justice P. Swaroop Reddy was dealing with an appeal referred by the government against the CAT order.
The CAT earlier directed the state government to scrap all the ex-cadre posts which were created illegally within four months.
The CAT gave this order in March after a senior IAS officer, Mr Shafiquzzaman, went against creating ex-cadre posts.Mr A. Satyaprasad, additional advocate-general, while arguing the case said that the CAT entered into an administrative prerogative of the government by passing such an order.
He said that because of the order the government cannot create or post IAS officers to fulfil the requirement of its administration. He contended that the order is liable to be quashed.The bench while granting stay issued notice to the respondents.
