Sir/ Madam,

I am directed to refer to this Division's letter of even number dated 3.2.2012 on the above subject and to say that certain clarifications were sought from DoPT on issues raised by some of the circles in the matter. DoPT vide their O.M. No. 36028/4/2012-Estt(Res) dated 11.9.2012 have clarified that the provisions contained in DoPT's O.M. No. 41018/2/2011-Estt (Res), dated 22.12.2011 stand quashed as per the order of the Hon'ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh. It is also intimated by DoPT that an SLP has been filed against the decision of Hon'ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh in Supreme Court by the Ministry of Human Resources Development. However, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has not granted any stay order against the judgement of High Court of Andhra Pradesh.

Yours faithfully,
