Reference Number: EST-1719/Pr.Cr.156/RAUSU-1

Issued By: Government of Maharashtra, Home Department (राज्य उत्पादन शुल्क विभाग — State Excise Department)

Effective Date: 04 December 2020 (वदनाांक:- 04 विसेंबर, 2020) — Immediate implementation

Summary: This Government Resolution promotes four Inspector (Group-B) officers from the State Excise Department to the rank of Deputy Superintendent (Group-B) on a temporary basis, drawing from the 2019-20 promotion list. The four promoted officers are assigned posting locations as specified in the order. All promotions are expressly stated to be temporary and subject to Supreme Court Special Leave Petition No. 28306/2017, and do not confer regular promotion rights or seniority benefits. The promotion of one officer (S.V. Chougule) is further conditional, pending a departmental inquiry against him.

Key Provisions:

• Temporary Promotion Only: All four promotions are granted in temporary status (तात्पुरत्या स्थापनात) only, not as regular promotions. (Clause 2)

• No Seniority Benefits: The promoted officers shall NOT acquire any rights to regular promotion or seniority (नियमित पदोन्नतीचे म्हणजेच ज्येष्ठतेचे कोणतेही हक्क प्राप्त होणार नाहीत) as a consequence of this temporary promotion. (Clause 2)

• Supreme Court Petition Conditional: All promotions are subject to the decision in Supreme Court Special Leave Petition No. 28306/2017 (विशेष अनुज्ञा यावचका क्र.28306/2017). (Clause 2)

• Order of Seniority: Promotions are granted in order of seniority within open vacancies. (Clause 2)

• Immediate Implementation: This order comes into force immediately. (Clause 3)

• Special Condition for S.V. Chougule: The promotion granted to Shri S.V. Chougule is:

  • Conditional on pending departmental inquiry against him (प्रलांवबत विभागीय चौकशीच्या अधीन) (Clause 4)
  • Valid only as a temporary promotion (तात्पुरती पदोन्नती असेल) (Clause 4)
  • Provides NO benefits of regularization or seniority (नियमित पणाचे ि ज्येष्ठतेचे कोणतेही लाभ वमळणार नाहीत) (Clause 4)
  • Revocable at any time — the Government reserves the right to revoke this promotion and demote him to his original position at any time pending the outcome of the inquiry (ही पदोन्नती रद्द करून त्याांना मूळ पदािर पदविनत करण्याचा हक्क शासन राखून ठेविीत आहे) (Clause 4)
  • Valid "until further orders" only (पुढील आदेशापयंत असेल) (Clause 4)
