No.E(NG)I-98/PM20/1, dated 16.10.2000
Sub: Eligibility for filling up the promotional quota for the post of Law Assistant Gr. Rs.6500-10500.
1. In terms of Para 131(1)(ii) and (2)(iii) of Indian Railway Establishment Manual, (Vol-I, 1989 Edition), 66-2/3% of the posts in the category of Law Assistant in the pay scale of Rs.6500-10500 are filled by promotion by selection from amongst serving employees with at least 5 years service and possessing a Degree in Law, irrespective of the department in which they may be working.
2. The existing method as indicated above does not specify the grade from which the serving staff would be eligible and there is no uniformity in this regard on the Railways/ PUs. The Ministry of Railways have since considered the matter in consultation with both the Federations and it has been decided that serving employees in grades lower than the grade Rs.6500-10500 having 5 years regular service in Group ‘C’ and possessing a Degree in Law, irrespective of the department in which the eligible employees may be working, should be eligible to appear in the selection for promotion against 66-2/3% of the posts in the category of Law Assistant grade Rs.6500-10500.
3. The Indian Railway Establishment Manual may also be amended accordingly as in Advance Correction Slip No.110 enclosed.
4. This also disposes of DLW’s letter No.DW/P/27/180/59E/PBR/Law Assistant, dated 02.02.1999.
