The senior advocate of 147 SDEs further pleaded to decide the case along with the Rule-206 seniority case. But the Hon'ble court didn't agree on the plea and adjourned the court.

It was our endeavor to ensure to fill up all vacant DGM posts before 31st March 2016 as ensured by CMD BSNL. All the circle and Branch secretaries were requested to ensure immediate dispatch of APARs/VCRs of the eligible DEs to BSNL C.O before 10th March 2016 to expedite CPC on 16th March 2016 itself and they responded in positive manner. The 2nd CPC was initiated to fill up 587 vacant DGM Posts. About 148 DEs cases could not be considered due to ineligibility of required service. About 58 DEs cases could not be assessed due to non-availability of ACRs. However, 58 DEs promotion orders will be issued subsequently on receipt of the required documents immediately. During this month 213+445=658 DGM Promotion orders have been issued against 800 vacant DGM Posts AIBSNLEA made its sincere efforts in collecting the missing APARs/VCRs and the information regarding date of joining in Adhoc/Regular DE promotion of the eligible candidates.

Aggarwal GM(EB), GM(Pers) and CLO BSNL C.O. were very positive and dedicated to expedite the CPCs. All these developments took place only when our CMD desired to fill up the vacant DGM posts immediately and thereafter Director (HR) and GM (Pers) did their best to expedite CPCs and to issue promotion orders on fast track manner i.e. two big promotion orders numbering 658 within a month time.
