Rules 8(1)(j)

On completion of 26 reckonable years of service an officer in the Army ( a Lt Col ) is to be permitted to wear the badges of the Colonel serving even if he had been rejected 3 times by the Selection Bd for the protion to the Rank of Selected Grade Colonel. In gist i am referring to eligibilities for wearing badges of the Rank of Colonel fondly called ( colonel ( TS). My question to RTI activists : Is there a DEPARTMENTAL PROMOTION COMMITTEE in this where a Lt Col with 26 years of reckonable service is eligible to wear the badges of col( TS) ?

There are few conditions to be met :
-- That the officer has 26 years of reckonable service .
-- That he is in acceptable Medical CATEGORY.
--- That no disciplinary case is pending against him.
And besides these COAS has issued an ARMY ORDER nO 1 /2005 putting some more restrictions such as :
-- there will be screening committee at AHQ MS br which will enable /disable an officer to wear the badges of Col ( TS) . The inputs would be :
-- That the officer is not graded less than average 3 out of past 6 ACRs
-- That the officer is recommended for promotion (!!!) at least 3 out past 6 ACRs
-- That the officer was not tried by GCM for heinous crimes such as culpable homicides etc etc
My question is should the proceedings of this Screening committee is equivalent to a DPC proceedings ?
Is the proceedings incl the ACR remarks for REcommendations for promotion by the Initiating Officer are exempted from disclosure to the affected officer?
