SANJAY PRAKASH & ORS. versus UNION OF INDIA & ORS.
The Court held that the CAPFs (CRPF, BSF, CISF, ITBP, SSB) are Organized Group-A Services for all purposes; the Government (DoPT) has accepted this status by OM dated 12.07.2019; consequently, benefits available to OGAS (including NFFU already granted and NFSG where applicable) should flow to CAPFs and the Ministry of Home Affairs must undertake cadre review and review/amendment of service rules/recruitment rules and progressively reduce deputation posts up to SAG within specified timelines.
