The respondent/Union of India, in WP(C) No. 3273/2024, have filed their counter affidavit on 29.03.2025, wherein at paragraph No. 10, it has been stated that a cadre review proposal was submitted to the Ministry of Home Affairs, in the year 2014, 2017, and finally in 2021 and the current proposal is in the final stage of approval and pending with the Ministry of Finance. 6.
