Update on JTO to SDE Promotion Case Pending at Hon’ble CAT Chandigarh :

The JTO to SDE promotion case listed today before the Hon’ble CAT, Chandigarh could not be heard in detail.

The hearing remained inconclusive due to an adjournment sought by the private respondents (One Core member from Majority Association). Additionally, a few new affected parties filed applications for impleadment in the matter which was not considered today. This group also happen to be consisting of the core members from MA. Accordingly, the Hon’ble Tribunal has adjourned the case to 22.04.2026 for the next hearing.

At this point, when the case has almost reached towards conclusive arguments, we fail to understand the reasons behind this sudden decision of impleadment of more people which will only delay the case. While Team AIGETOA is striving for an early “disposal of the case on merit” so that the promotions can be held at the earliest, the reasons for delaying the case by a particular group is definitely questionable. If they were to implead, they could have done it earlier.

As of now so many vacancies are available and more to become available in a short period, any attempt to delay the process will only hamper the process of promotions for JTOs to SDE Grade (Both from SCF as well as LDCE Quota). We want to make it amply clear that AIGETOA is striving for early disposal of the case based on merits. Whatever way, the decision must come so that the stalemate in JTO to SDE Promotions can be done away with and the available vacancies can be filled up immediately.

Our Team will continue to pursue for an early disposal and end of the stalemate in JTO to SDE Promotions in Telecom Stream in the best interest of the candidates waiting for their long awaited promotions.
