Challenging his final allocation, about a dozen IAS officers, including former Telangana Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar and IPS officers in undivided Andhra Pradesh cadre, have received relief from the tribunal to work in the state of their choice.
Kumar, Bharat President Sameethi regime’s blue -eyed bureaucrat, dropped out of service in 2023, when HC first abolished the CAT order, which allowed him to work in Telangana since 2014. He informed the Andhra Pradesh government in January 2023, but was later included as retirement from a service.
The Central Government challenged the CAT order in 2017, which provided relief to Somesh and all other officials in the Telangana High Court.
While the Somesh episode ended in January 2024 in January 2024, the Telangana High Court disposed of all the petitions related to the allocation, while the Pratyush Sinha maintained the panel guidelines and criticized Cat’s overrage to separate the cadre allocation.
“The politically important Somesh Kumar case triggered our pending cases, resulting in our repatriation as well as our repatriation.”
Nevertheless, the court then asked the Center to focus on the aggrieved officers who had already spent a decade in the state of their choice. At that time, HC ordered a personal hearing for respondents or officials so that they could raise legal aspects before handing over the order as per law.
However, DOPT rejected the claims of challenging officials in October last year. The department took steps based on the recommendations of a committee, which is with a former secretary, with Deepak Khandekar, IAS (RETD.). Department of Personnel and TrainingAs the only member on the panel. According to the Sinha Committee guidelines and recommendations, the panel was formed, according to the final allocation of the IAS officers.
Thus, Wani Prasad, 1995 batch IAS and Principal Secretary of Youth Affairs in Telangana, tourism and culture; Vakati Karuna, 2004 batch IAS officer and Secretary of Women, Children, Disabled and Senior Civil Welfare Department in Telangana; Ronald Rose (2006 batch), Secretary of the Department of Energy at Telangana; And Amrapali Kata, a 2010-batch IAS officer and commissioner of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Switch was switched by Andhra Pradesh.
On the other hand, Shavuru Hari Kiran, 2009-batch IAS officer and director of the Commissioner of Health and Family Welfare, Director of Andhra Pradesh; Sreejana Gummalla, a 2013-batch IAS officer and Collector and District Magistrate (DM) of Andhra Pradesh; And Shiva Shankar reached Letheti, 2013-Batch IAS officer and Collector and DM, Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana.
In February, the MHA also ordered the 1990 batch IPS officer, former Director General of Police of Police Anjani Kumar to be transferred to Andhra Pradesh, former Director General of Telangana, who was then the chairman of the State Road Safety Authority; Abhilash Bisht, 1994 batch IPS officer and director of Telangana State Police Academy; And Abhishek Mohanty, 2011-Batch IPS Officer and Police Commissioner of Karimnagar.
Most of the above IAS-PIS authorities, complying with orders, again went to the cat to challenge their transfer.
Mohanti To live in Telangana, received a stay order from the High Court in March until the cat resolved its petition, challenging the MHA orders, sending him back to AP.
However, some officials are said to have been coming with their current posting or moving forward and for further legal quarrels.
In 2014, the above IAS and IPS authorities personally challenged their cadre allocation to the cat, which forwards their related complaints on the guidelines of the Pratyush Sinha Committee.
The subsequent bominations since 2014, the committee suggested the distribution of 284 IAS, 209 IPS and 136 IFOS officers between the two Telugu states.
At that time, Letheti objected to his domicile, which he complained, Was arbitrarily determined During the final allocation in 2014, unlike his announcement that he is from Andhra Pradesh.
The daily complaint, similar to Bisht, was more than a wrong seniority determination, put them in Andhra Pradesh. Kata claimed that the Pratyush Sinha Committee followed a separate yardstick in its case, which gave him an opportunity to swap the cadre with another IAS officer.
Mohanty’s petition, not challenging the guidelines, complained of wrong implementation, saying that the committee denied him a Telangana cadre, the state that was born and brought. The IPS officer served as Superintendent of Police (SP), Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh by 2021, before Telangana took him on the basis of CAT’s orders.
Talking to Theprint, retired IAS officer IyR Krishna Rao admitted that Pratyush Sinha Committee, of which as the Chief Secretary of Andhra Pradesh, was a part, he was a part, “Some more wrong in other matters determining the cadre”.
“The committee was neither neutral nor fair, resulting in allotment of distortions in allocation and long legal matters were taken out. The cat also took a long time to dispose of these cases. After 10 years it is very little that the dopt should allow them to live where they were,” Rao said.
Talking to Theprint, a senior IAS officer in the same quundari as Lotheti, Rose and others said, “People look at us in the society, but look at us; we have become ping-pong balls between the two states. Even with real complaints and testimony for them, we are running to collaborate to get our right cadre.”
“It’s ten years, and it’s tired. But I will maintain my fight for what is duly. I pray that the authorities will at least, at least work now, and let us be on peace, allowing us to operate our full capabilities, fulfilling our duties towards society,” the official said.
Another official said: “With the latest CAT order in Letheti and daily matters, we have come into the full cycle.”
