*****

In the reference first cited, it was clarified that a person appointed or promoted on adhoc or temporary basis without fulfilling the required number of years of service in the feeder category by invoking rule-10(a) of A.P. State and Subordinate Service Rules, 1996, may be allowed to count his service in higher category or class as the case may be to the extent of the period of duty performed by him in the latter service during which he would have held the post in the former service but for such appointment in the latter service and the probation of such individual so promoted or appointed may have to be commenced from the next date of such completion of the required period of service in the former service (in the lower feeder category).

2.         In the reference second cited, while reiterating the said instruction, it was further directed that the appointing authority shall justify the exigency of administration while invoking the provisions of rule10(a) of A.P. State and Subordinate Service Rules, 1996, duly keeping in-view the rule-8 of the said rules and it should be invoked in respect of all categories of employees, who are approved probationers but not for implementing rule of reservation only while considering promotion / by appointment by transfer to higher category of posts.

3.         Inspite of above clarifications, proposals are being received to consider the cases of employees for promotion / appointment by transfer to the next higher category, without any justification on exigency of administration for invoking rule-10(a) of A.P. State and Subordinate Service Rules, 1996. It is noticed that the departments in many cases, who have completed one year of service, are invoking rule-10(a) of A.P. State and Subordinate Service Rules, 1996, by using the said Cir.Memos, though there is no exigency to fill up the said posts. In fact provision of Rule-10(a) of A.P. State and Subordinate Service Rules, 1996, is being invoked not for any administrative exigencies, but for ensuring promotion to certain employees even though he is retiring on the same day when such promotions are given to him / her.

4.         In view of the above, the clarifications issued in the circular Memos., 1^st and 2^nd cited, are hereby cancelled with immediate effect, so as to safe guard rule-10(a) of A.P. State and Subordinate Service Rules, 1996, to be adhered strictly by all departments hereafter.

5.         All the Departments are therefore requested to invoke rule-10(a) of A.P. State and Subordinate Service Rules, 1996, wherever / whenever necessary duly justifying the public interest to fill any vacancy emergently.
