Tribunal Seeks Chandigarh Administration Response on Cancelled Promotions of Accounts Officers
The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), Chandigarh bench, has issued a notice to the Chandigarh administration regarding a petition by 11 serving and retired Subordinate Audit Accounts Service officers. The officers challenge the administration's cancellation of their retrospective promotions and pay upgrades from Assistant Controller to Deputy Controller, initially effective from April 26, 2023, but later revised to July 10, 2026, and subsequently withdrawn. The petition alleges lack of due process, discrimination, and violation of constitutional rights. The tribunal has set the next hearing for September 21 and requested the administration's reply within three weeks.
