ORDER :

In the G.O. first read above, the Government have issued amendment to Special Rules for Tamil Nadu Labour Service.

2. The Commissioner of Labour, in his letters second read above, has stated among other things, that the following qualification has been prescribed in item (iv) for promotion to the post of Assistant Commissioner of Labour from the post of Labour Officer:-

(iv) Must have experience in the posts as noted below excluding the period spent on leave in the respective posts:-

1. (1)  in the post of Labour Officer or Administrative Officer or Public Relation Officer for a period of not less than 12 calendar months.
2. (2)  in the post of Inspector of Plantations for a period of not less than 12 calendar months and
3. (3)  in the post of Inspector of Labour for a period of not less than 12 calendar months.

In the proviso to the qualification prescribed in item (4), among other things, the following qualification has also been mentioned :-

"or in any equivalent posts on deputation or on foreign service".

But, in the qualification prescribed for promotion to the post of Assistant Commissioner of Labour from the post of Labour Officer in item (iv), the above qualification has not been laid down.  Hence,  there is ambiguity between the rule and proviso to rule.  The Commissioner of Labour has therefore proposed draft amendment to the Special Rules.

3. The Government after careful examination accept the proposal of the Commissioner of Labour and issue necessary amendment to the Special Rules for the Tamil Nadu Labour Service.

4. The following notification will be published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette.
