The background facts are that on the basis of the recommendations of the Seshagiri Committee, the Electronics Data Processing („EDP‟) cadre of the Central Government employees was rationalised by an Office Memorandum („OM‟) dated 11th September, 1989 issued by the Ministry of Finance („MOF‟). The said rationalisation was based on the functional requirements of a particular Department, without having to create new grades in all the Ministries/Departments.
