EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
On the basis of the first round of selection made in 1967 and '
1968 for appointment at the initial constitution of the Indian Forest Service, Karnataka (Then Mysore) Forest Service Officers who were adjudged suitable were appointed to the State Cadre of the Indian Forest Service. Thereafter, recruitment under sub-rule (2) of rule 4 of the Indian Forest Service (Recruitment) Rules, 1966 was taken in hand. Accordingly, direct recruits were allocated to the State Cadre on the results of the annual exa mi rations conducted by the Union Public 'Service Commission from 19G7 onwards.
%. The aforesaid appointments at the initial constitution of the Karnataka (then Mytore) Cadre of the Indian For est Service were however quashed by the High Court of Mysore at Bangalore in their judgement dated 251h July, 1969 in writ petition Nos. 1097, 1987, 1327, 2462 and 2488 of 1968. Ac- cordingly, the initial appointments made to the Karnataka (then Mysore) Cadre of the Indian Forest Service were formally cancelled.
3. The Indian Forest Service (Recruitment) Rules, 1966 were amended vide notification No. 3]30|7
- 4, Shri A, C. Lakshmana and four others, Karnataka State -Forest Servico Officers, who were not adjudged suitable for appointment us initial reciuits to the Indian Forest Service led writ petitions No. 4418, 7085 to 7088 of 1977 in the Karnataka High Couit, challenging, inter-alia the initial appointments to the Karnataka Cadre of the Indian Forest Service. Under the directions of the Karnataka High Couit, the cases of these officers were reviewed by.the Spe- cial Selection Board on 22-6-1981 and they were adjudged suitable for appointment as initial recruits. After the Uninon Public Service Commission approved the recommendations '>f the Special Selection Board, these officers were appoint- ed to the Service with effect from 1-10-1966 vide Notification No. 170231U81-A1SUY). dattd 30-7-1981. Consequently the number of officers appointed at the initial constitution on tho basis of fresh selection under the directions of the Supreme Court of India and the Karnataka High Court has resulted in over utilisation of the total authorised strength of the Karnataka Cadre of the Indian Forest Service for the periods as idicated in the notification.
5. It is certified that consequent on the provision of ad-hoc deputation reserve for the periods shown rn the notification, the number of vacancies in the promotion ceiling of the Karnataka Cadre remains unchanged. The above amend- ment would not as such alfect adversely the interests of the officers appointed to the State Cadre of Karnataka by promotion during the said period. The interests of tho initial recruits and the direct recruits will also not be affected by the ad-hoc increase in tho deputation reserve for these periods, as the increase has been necessitated be- cause of the fresh initial recruitment made to the State Cadre of the Service as well an appointment of certain State F"orest Service officers as initial recruits in compliance with the directions of the Supreme Court of India and the Karnataka High Court.
