7494Chandigarh (08.10.2024): The issue of the tussle over the
seniority of six IAS officers from the 1990 batch will now be decided by the
caretaker Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini or by the new incumbent after October 8 election results. The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) had asked
Haryana Chief Secretary (CS) TVSN Prasad (IAS: 1988: HY) to decide the case of
seniority among the 1990-batch IAS officers, considering Rule 6 of the IAS
(Regulation of Seniority) Rules, 1987. Prasad is retiring on October 31, so any change in the
seniority list could impact the selection of the next Chief Secretary, as he or
she is likely to be selected from the 1990 batch. The post of Financial
Commissioner Revenue (FCR) in Haryana, which usually goes to the senior-most
IAS officer after the Chief Secretary, has been kept vacant. The entire issue
has arisen because three IAS officers from the 1990 batch — Ankur Gupta, Anurag
Rastogi and Raja Sekhar Vundru — have challenged the current gradation list.

It was also requested that the state government be informed whether Sumita Misra (IAS: 1990: HY) was initially allocated to any other cadre before her services were placed in the Haryana cadre; if so, the relevant documents should be furnished. Also, on October 4, the CS presented the matter to caretaker CM Nayab Saini. Therefore, either he will make the decision, or the new CM will do so.
