No.E(NG)I/92/TR/32 JCM/DC, dated 05.05.1994

Sub: Transfer/ Re-transfer of Ticket Checking Staff.

1. In terms of instructions contained in boards letter of even number dated 10.08.1993 (RBE No. 124/1993), cases of Ticket Checking Staff transferred from one Division to another for various reasons like suspected malpractices are required to be reviewed by the General Manager, provided such employees are fully exonerated or awarded the penalty of censure only after finalization of the disciplinary proceedings. In this context, one of the Railways has asked for a clarification whether in such cases the employees transfer back to their parent Division will retain their original seniority or otherwise.

2. The matter has since been considered by the Board. It is clarified that in such cases of seniority may be decided on the basis of the circumstances in which the transfer back to the parent division comes about. If it is on the request of the employee, it becomes a request transfer and if it is ordered by the Administration on its own, it becomes a transfer on administrative ground. The question of security in both the situation is already well settled.
