CAT Directs Chandigarh to Forward DSP Cadre Rules for IPS Induction Consideration
The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) Chandigarh Bench directed the Chandigarh Administration to submit the Recruitment Rules for the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) cadre to the Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Personnel within two weeks. This aims to consider the DSP cadre as a feeder service for induction into the Indian Police Service (IPS) under the AGMUT cadre. The tribunal quashed previous orders rejecting DSP Ram Gopal's claim, emphasizing that his case should be processed per applicable IPS promotion regulations, subject to eligibility. The UT administration and Centre had opposed the plea, citing non-recognition of the DSP cadre as a feeder service.
