In the words of the Lords of the Justice brought on record in the Judgment/Order:

“…:… ‘had I served my God as reverently as I did my King I would not have fallen on these days of penury’ is chanted in these group of petitions in the Shelian tune:’ I fall on the thorns of life I bleed.’ Old age, ebbing mental and physical prowess, atrophy of both muscle and brain powers permeating these petitions, the petitioners in the fall of life yearn for equality of treatment which is being meted out to those who are soon going to join and swell their own ranks…” [The Honorable Supreme Courts' Judgment on 17-12-1982 in Nakara Case in 1982 (W.P. 5939-5941/1980- D.S.Nakara and others Vs Union of India 1983-AIR130-SC].

(A):

I: Some important aspects that may be perused and recorded for consideration of the grievance pertaining to the revision of the seniority list of the Inspectors, RPF, ad hoc ASCs regularization, and further proforma-promotion to the rank of DSCs at par with their juniors to have pensionary benefits: Reference – Representation-Case /grievance pending – Sri.V.Seshadri, ASC/RPF/Retired from East Coast Railway.

As per Department of Personnel &Training Office Memorandum. No.22011/4/98-ESTT. (D), Dated 12-10-1998, the Departmental Promotion Committees , held in later years have to include the names of the retired employees also in the panel lists against the year wise vacancies even' by preparing extended panels. But, ironically, it was misinterpreted otherwise and our names dropped from the panel lists on the ground that we retired on the date year of DPC when panel lists prepared and juniors given promotions in our place by the DPCs, approved by the Railway Board and the DG, RPF whereby our names have been dropped wantonly from the panel lists for the vacancy position on the years when the regularization and promotions were made effective from the date of vacancy and the ASCs were regularized from the date of their promotion and given promotion as DSCs/Commandants .

DG, RPF discriminated his power and authority wantonly by dropping the names of the ad hoc ASCs who were in service when the DPCs considered the names of the ad hoc ASCs for the vacancies to be filled up for the said year(s) which were falling vacant and purposefully dropped the names of the eligible ad hoc ASCs on the plea that they were ceased to be in service on the date when the DPC’s Orders made effective and thus violated U.O.I’s Orders contained in the OMs No.22011/4/98-Estt.(D) dated 12-10-1998,etc, of the DoP&T.

In the RPF Department, the appointment of the Superior Officers has been streamlined by the RPF Act,1957 and the RPF(Superior Officers) Recruitment Rules, 1974-amended in 1981;1994;and in 2996,  in short as RPF(GOs) Rules, regulating the mode of recruitment of superior officers.
