The division of IAS and IPS officers between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana has created a buzz again after a senior bureaucrat got posting to Andhra after securing order from the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT).
Andhra Pradesh govt led by Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy was sitting over a decision on withdrawing a pending court litigation on the cadre division matter,1988 batch IAS officer Yerra Srilakshmi moved the CAT and secured an order last month, getting herself posted to AP from Telangana.
The Andhra government issued an order on Saturday admitting Srilakshmi into duty, subject to confirmation from the Union Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT). Srilakshmi is not a party in the original CAT orders secured by several other IAS and IPS officers after the state bifurcation in June 2014.
More than five years after the bifurcation, the Telangana government last year wrote to the Centre consenting to withdraw the case in the high court challenging the CATs series of orders over allocation of IAS and IPS officers to the two state cadres.
