Review empanelment for 1992 & 93 batch IAS set, 1994 batch faces delay

By

Approximately seven IAS officers from the 1992 and 1993 batches are under consideration for Secretary-level posts in the upcoming empanelment. This process is being prioritised before the 1994 batch empanelment begins, which, according to sources, hasn’t even started yet. As a result, officers from the 1994 batch will likely have to wait until early next year for their turn. More than 28 officers are in the running.

Traditionally, two batches are considered for empanelment each year, but in 2024, only the 1993 batch was empanelled. The delay in the 1994 batch empanelment is due to a shortage of available Secretary-level posts and pending placement of officers from earlier batches.

Andhra Pradesh High Court

The non-compliance of the High Court’s order proved dearly to four IAS officers in Andhra Pradesh. The AP High Court recently issued bailable warrants against the four bureaucrats and an engineer of the irrigation department for failing to comply with the court’s order and turn up before it in a contempt case. The court also directed the SPs of their respective districts to arrest them and produce before it on November 27.

PVR Structures India Pvt Ltd had moved the court alleging the non-payment of its dues by the government despite the completion certificate issued by the competent authority. The court had directed the government to clear the dues by Oct 15 but the order was not implemented. The court had also asked the authorities to appear before it if they fail to clear the dues. But the government officials neither cleared the bills nor appeared before it.

It led the company to file a contempt petition against then Principal Secretary (Irrigation) Shashibhushan Kumar, Principal Secretary (Finance) SS Rawat, Kakinada’s DM Kritika Shukla, Amalapuram Collecter Himanshu Shukla and Irrigation Engineer D V Ram Gopal. Justice Nimmagadda Venkateswarlu took a serious note of their conduct and issued a bailable warrant against them. The matter is listed for hearing on Nov 27.
