In accordance with Supreme Court
judgment dated 15.07.2014, results of Limited Departmental Competitive
Examination 1996 for Section Officer grade were revised by UPSC. Appellants,
who were declared successful in the modified results of SO LDCE 1996, were included
in SOSL 1996 by this Department. Later the benefit was extended to similarly
placed SC/ST officers who were declared qualified in the modified results of SO
LDCE 1996. On their inclusion in SOSL 1996, these officers have become eligible
for consideration for promotion to the next grade (Under Secretary) on
completion of eight years of approved service in SO grade i.e. they become
eligible for consideration in USSL 2004 onwards subject to the size of the
zone. A proposal for review of USSLs 2004 and 2005 has been forwarded to UPSC
in which these officers have been included in the zone.
