Tussle over seniority of six 1990 batch IAS officers in Haryana continues

The Haryana bureaucracy is in a fix and waits for the new BJP government to be sworn in so that the ensuing tussle over the seniority of six IAS officers from the 1990 batch is decided by the Chief Minister. The issue needs to be sorted out immediately as the new Chief Secretary (CS) is to be named by this month end as the current CS TVSN Prasad (IAS:1988:HY) is retiring on October 31. Any change in the seniority list could impact the selection of the next Chief Secretary, as this position is likely to be filled by an officer from the 1990 batch.

To further complicate the matter, the post of Financial Commissioner Revenue (FCR) in the state is also lying vacant. This post is usually occupied by the senior-most IAS officer of the state after the CS.

The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) had earlier written to the state government to decide the case of inter-se seniority among the 1990-batch IAS officers, considering Rule 5 and 6 of the IAS (Regulation of Seniority) Rules, 1987.

The Haryana CS wrote back to the DoPT asking for some information and a copy of the judgment, concerning the allotment of the Haryana cadre and seniority of IAS Sudhir Rajpal, passed by the CAT’s Chandigarh bench. Additionally, the state government sought clarification on whether IAS officer Sumita Misra was initially allocated to another cadre before being placed in the Haryana cadre. If so, the relevant documents were requested for review.

The CS had brought this issue to the notice of caretaker Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini on October 4, a day before the state went to the polls, so nothing could be done. Now, as the election results are out and Saini is all set to begin his second inning as CM, the issue is likely to be settled soon after the swearing in takes place.

The dispute arose after three IAS officers from the 1990 batch — Ankur Gupta, Anurag Rastogi and Raja Sekhar Vundru — challenged the current gradation list.

Meet this only Indian IPS selected for honour by global body

If you possess the virtue of compassion for others and try relentlessly to mitigate the sufferings of people in your surrounding with purity of purpose, rest assured the world will discover you and reach your doorstep with honours and recognition, even if you live at a non-descript place. If you still have any doubt, meet a young girl, an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, from Nagaland. She is Pritpal Kaur, the only Indian to be selected for the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) award for 2024. She is among the 40 police officers below the age of 40 selected from across the globe for this honour. She has been invited to Boston, Massachusetts, in the US to receive the award on October 22.

A 2016 batch IPS officer, Pritpal is currently serving as the Superintendent of Police of the Nagaland’s Phek district. She exhibits an irresistible urge to ameliorate the condition of people struggling in life and dons different roles for different sets of people at different times. Originally a dentist, she forgets that she is the boss of the district police and starts treating common people suffering from dental ailments. She becomes the guardian of the school drop outs and begins counselling them about the value of education in life and swings to become a guide in no time coaching young students preparing for the competitive examinations including the Civil Services Examination. Next time, she may be spotted hurdling with poor women and teaching them the importance of hygiene for female issues.

Her intrinsic caring nature has earned her the sobriquet of being a grandmother for the community, a Themshao Lam in Naga parlance, meaning a grandmother who sacrificed a lot for the welfare of the community in the olden days. This young police officer has earned several awards for her exemplifying leadership but she enjoys being referred to as a grandmother and treats this honour as one of her greatest achievements.
