CBEC promotes 63 Commissioners - nearly 30 left out
IN an unusual bureaucratic massacre, the CBEC has denied promotion to nearly 30 senior Commissioners while granting promotion to the grade of Principal Commissioner. In a Saturday Order, the CBEC promoted 63 Commissioners as Principal Commissioners, but in the process nearly thirty officers in the seniority list have been superseded. This means the CBEC (or Government) did not find a third of the Commissioners eligible and qualified for promotion. What is wrong with them? And if they are not fit to be promoted as Principal Commissioners, how are they fit to work as Commissioners - after all the Commissioner and the Principal Commissioner does the same work and are equal in all respects except a slightly higher pay for the Principal Commissioner. And some of the overlooked officers are the stars of the Department holding key positions and some of them were tipped to be future Members and Chairmen of the Board - what went suddenly wrong with them that they are not considered fit enough to get a little more salary?
Perhaps many of them will rush to the nearest Bench of the CAT.
