The Rajasthan High Court has directed the state government to take a decision within 15 days on promoting non‑RAS officers to the Indian Administrative Service.
The bench of the Rajasthan High Court heard petitions filed by senior bureaucrats seeking clarification on the eligibility of officers who entered service through routes other than the Regular All India Services (RAS) for promotion to the Indian Administrative Service (IAS).
In its ruling, the court instructed the Rajasthan government to deliver a definitive decision on the matter within 15 days, emphasizing the need for a clear and timely policy to avoid prolonged uncertainty for the affected officers.
Legal experts noted that the order could set a precedent for other states grappling with similar promotion issues, while the state administration indicated it would review the court’s directive and present its recommendation before the stipulated deadline.
