- The State government has constituted a panel, headed by the Justice (retd.) G.M. Akbar Ali.
- It will examine the impact of the Supreme Court’s verdict on its recruitment process and propose legal options to overcome issues arising out of the ruling.
- Traditionally, the State government had been preparing rank lists for government appointments, following a 200-point roster system.
- As part of the system, reservations were provided to candidates belonging to BC, BCM, MBC and DNC, SC, and ST.
- The system determined seniority and merit within the categories, giving regard for equitable treatment in promotion for all government employees.
- However, the practice was sought to be scrapped through the Supreme Court’s direction on April 18, 2023.
- The State government had been asked by the Court to revise the seniority of the candidates directly recruited through the TNPSC after March 10, 2003 on the basis of merit, as determined by the TNPSC in the selection process itself and not on the basis of roster point.
- In July and November 2023, the office of Commissioner of Treasuries and the Accounts, issued orders revising the entry level seniority as per merit list sent by the TNPSC in respect of Accounts Officers who were directly recruited in the Tamil Nadu State Treasuries and Accounts Services (2007-2008).
