2000 (4) TMI 828 - SC - Indian Laws

Issues:
Challenge to repatriation order of appellant to parent department, Absorption of deputationist in CBI, Differential treatment claim, Legal submissions regarding permanent absorption of deputationist, Educational qualification requirement for absorption in CBI.

Analysis:
The appellant, a member of CRPF serving as an ASI in the parent department, joined CBI on deputation in the same capacity. The borrowing department expressed interest in permanent absorption in CBI, subject to CRPF's concurrence. The appellant was asked to undertake a written test for absorption, where discrepancies arose regarding his educational qualifications. The Screening Committee recommended his absorption as a Sub-Inspector based on his representation as a graduate, but he later claimed a lower educational qualification. Due to the total deputation period limit, the appellant was repatriated to the parent department, leading to his challenge before the Central Administrative Tribunal, which rejected his claim for absorption due to educational misrepresentation and lack of indispensability in CBI.

The Tribunal's decision was upheld by the High Court, emphasizing the absence of merit in the appellant's petition. The Supreme Court concurred, highlighting the appellant's unreliable conduct due to misrepresentation of his educational qualification. The Court emphasized that deputationists have no vested right for permanent absorption unless based on statutory rules. The appellant's claim of exemption from the educational qualification requirement was dismissed, emphasizing the necessity of a degree for absorption in CBI against the direct quota. The Court rejected the appellant's appeal, affirming the repatriation order and emphasizing the lack of merit in his claims, ultimately dismissing the appeal without costs.

In conclusion, the judgment upholds the repatriation of the appellant to the parent department due to discrepancies in educational qualifications and emphasizes the lack of vested rights for deputationists in permanent absorption without statutory rules. The Court dismisses the appeal, affirming the educational qualification requirement for absorption in CBI and highlighting the appellant's unreliable conduct as grounds for dismissal.
