The CAT after going through the letter which the MHA had written to the states and Union territories expressed the hope "that matter is pursued expeditiously and taken to its logical conclusion".

The Tribunal also said that the relief prayed for by the applicants be treated as "possible suggestions" for overcoming this problem and asked the ministry to take appropriate decision in the matter expeditiously, preferably within six months from the date of receipt of the order. In their plea, the applicants had sought directions to the concerned ministries and the Delhi government to hold Comprehensive Cadre Review to change the existing ratio of direct recruits and promotee officers by amending the rules of recruitment. As per their plea, the current ratio was 50 per cent posts of ACP being filled by promotion and 50 per cent by direct recruitment, which they had sought to be modified to 80 per cent by promotion and 20 per cent by direct recruitment. They had also sought directions to hold Comprehensive Cadre Review for creating enough promotional avenues to remove the stagnation among Inspectors by creating new posts.
