There can be no promotion during the period of such extension – DoPT

Hello,
Kindly provide me with the following information requested under the purview of the Right to Information Act, 2005 in respect of Recent Supreme Court Judgment dated 9 January 2014 on CIVIL APPEAL NO. 192 of 2014

The proceedings recorded by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet while rejecting the appellants claim for promotion to the rank of Lieutenant General are also being set out below:

Point No 8. The orders issued by the Department of Personnel and Training lay down that while extension could be granted in exceptional circumstances, there can be no promotion during the period of such extension. These orders apply to the civilian establishment. The instructions which apply to the Defence forces permit extension in service only if the exigencies so demand. DRDO is mainly civilian, and the Rules, as mentioned above, do not permit promotion on extension.

1. Please provide the copy orders of Department of Personnel and Training rules related to extension of civilian establishment beyond the service of 60 years
2. Please provide the orders of Department of Personnel and Training rules related to extension of civilian establishment beyond the service of 62 years
3. Please provide the copy of above mentioned issued orders of Department of Personnel and Training rules related to extension “there can be no promotion during the period of such extension.”
