The CAT on Thursday issued a notice to the Haryana government and the Central government asking them respond to the allegations. In his petition, Chaturvedi has alleged that though he is eligible for a promotion into the non-functional selection grade, the government stalled his promotion because he had allegedly caused a stir during his tenure as the CVO at AIIMS by launching action against ‘influential politicians and bureaucrats presently occupying offices in the Central and state Government.’

A 2002 batch IFoS officer, he has competed 13 years of service during which he has claimed he has an outstanding record and a clearance certificate from the cadre controlling ministry, Chaturvedi said.
