HC upohlds AI promotion policy for employees
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has dismissed a batch of petitions filed by a group of Air India employees seeking quashing of the workers' promotion policy 2004, which had lowered down the percentage for promotion of eligible officers from 50 to 30 per cent.
Justice Kailash Gambhir, in a recent judgment, has rejected the contention of the employees that the promotion process under the policy was arbitrary as the panel, set up to select the eligible officers, had tampered with the annual performance appraisal reports of some of the officers and had given them promotion.
"The selection process had solely comprised of taking into consideration the Annual Confidential Report (ACR). The criteria have been uniformly applied in the case of all candidates, and therefore, the same cannot be held as arbitrary and irrational," the court said.
It was alleged by employees that due to the arbitrary policy eligible officers were not promoted to the postas the promotion panel had discriminatory awarded marks to the officers.
