| Petition challenges IRCON Promotion Policy | | HC holds petitioners eligible only for the posts of SSE and not assistant manager | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, September-29 (JNF):- In a petition filed by Satya Parkash Rai & Ors employee of IRCON International Limited challenging the amendment/modify its existing promotion policy for employees in the executive cadre vide circular No 28/2010, in terms of modified Policy, a new position of Senior Site Engineer/Senior Section Officer/Chief Office Superintendent (SSE/SSO/COS) in E-1 Scale (16400-40500 IDA) was created by providing that Site Engineers/Section Officers/Office Superintendents (SE/SO/OSs), on completion of Residency period of Five years, would be eligible to consideration for promotion to the senior position in E-1 Scale. It was further provided that SSE/SSO/COSs, on completion of Residency period for Three years, would be eligible to consideration for promotion as Assistant Manager in E-2 scale (20600-46500 IDA). The petitioners, who were working as Site Engineers (SE) in IIL, seek quashing of the Circular, And Advertisement Notice No.10/2010 whereby Applications were invited for regular posts of Assistant Manager & Junior Engineers in Civil, Electrical, Finance, S&T and Legal discipline.
Justice JP Singh of Jammu & Kashmir High Court after hearing both the sides observed that the petitioners had exercised their right to consideration for promotion as Assistant Manager, when in terms of the rules, they were eligible to such consideration but with the introduction of new pattern of promotions including that to the Assistant Manager’s level, their right to consideration for promotion is only to the post of SSE and not to the post of Assistant Manager, which they would earn only after becoming SSE and gaining Three years’ experience of Residency period. The creation of intermediary post in between the post of SE and Assistant Manager does not, therefore, take away any enforceable right of the petitioners on the basis whereof the Circular may be questioned. With these observations the petitioners' challenge to Circular No.28/2010, therefore, fails and petition is therefore without merit and hence dismissed.
