CAT Bares Fangs Over DoPT Delay on Relieving IAS Officer
The New Indian Express Hyderabad
|August 08, 2025
The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) on Thursday directed the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) to relieve IAS officer Siva Shankar Lotheti and ensure his transfer to Andhra Pradesh within two weeks.
Failure to comply, it warned, would result in strict action, including the freezing of the DoPT Secretary's salary.
Lotheti, originally allotted to Telangana at the time of bifurcation in 2014, had been serving in Andhra Pradesh following earlier orders from the CAT. However, in October 2024, the Union government issued fresh directions mandating that all All India Services officers return to their originally allotted cadre states.
