Case Number Appeals Nos. 57 to 60(L) of 1993
Decision Date Jun 28, 1993
Hearing Date
Decision The Federal Service Tribunal decided that employees working in the Establishment against appointments in B17 on an acting charge basis for a long time are entitled to move over to B18 due to their long and continuous service. The Tribunal directed the authorities to consider their cases for move over and, if there was nothing adverse in their service records, allow them to move over to B18 effective from their due dates. The Tribunal acknowledged that the appellants had been denied move over to BPS18 without justification, as their service record was satisfactory and similar to other cases that had been accepted earlier. The appeals were accepted, and the Tribunal ordered compliance within three months.
Summary In the case of Appeals Nos. 57 to 60(L) of 1993, the Federal Service Tribunal addressed the issue of civil servants' entitlement to move over from B17 to B18 based on their long-term service in acting charge positions. The case highlighted the principles governing move over rights for civil servants, particularly in relation to pay scales and promotions. The Tribunal emphasized that civil servants should not be penalized for delays in regularization by the authorities and reaffirmed the right to move over to the next pay scale if they met the requisite qualifications. This decision underscores the importance of fair treatment and adherence to established service rights for government employees. The ruling is significant for ongoing discussions about civil service entitlements and the need for timely action by administrative bodies.
