The Civil Servants Act, 1973 QUESTION #1828
Question 1
Section 8(1) on seniority explicitly states that preparation of a seniority list shall NOT be construed to confer what right on a civil servant?
  • Right to appeal against seniority placement
  • Any vested right to a particular seniority in such service, cadre or post✔️
  • Right to seek review of promotion decisions
  • Right to challenge transfer orders
Correct Answer Explanation
Section 8(1) makes a critical clarification that while the appointing authority shall cause a seniority list to be prepared for proper administration, nothing therein shall be construed to confer any vested right to a particular seniority. This prevents civil servants from claiming enforceable seniority rights solely on the basis of the list.
