ORDER:
According to 1he policy enunciated in the G.O. first cited, in certain special/adhoc rules relating to various Stale and Subordinate Services, a provision was made to the effect that a member of a service should ordinarily put in a period of five years of service in the lower category from which promotion is to be made to the next higher category in the same service or appointment is to be made by transfer from any other service. The Government, with a view to avoiding administrative difficulties. issued an ad-hoc rule in the G.O. fourth cited reducing ordinarily five years’ service in the lower category to three years, of which atleat two years’ service was required to be in the category, class or grade from which promotion was to be made. The wording of the rule is considered to-be defective, as it is capable of denoting the minimum service remained in the category as three years and at the same two years to be made. Hence, to keep the matter beyond doubt without giving scope for any other interpretation, it has become necessary to make the following ad-hoc rule.
2. Accordingly. the following no1ification is published in the Andhra Pradesh Gazette.
