Uttarakhand HC order on Sanjiv Chaturvedi 's plea has come as a boost to many officers who never came to know why their names were left out in the list of empanelled joint secretaries , additional secretaries and secretaries in central government.

Though HC specified that the order pertains only to Chaturvedi's case, senior bureaucrats said this could become a precedent to seek details of empanelment process and evaluation.

Since the government started the informal system of 360-degree evaluation for empanelment, there have been issues with this and even a parliamentary committee raised questions of the opaqueness of the mechanism.

TOI on Oct 30, 2023, reported how DoPT in an affidavit to Nainital circuit bench of CAT in Chaturvedi's case submitted that there was "no such system" of 360-degree appraisal for empanelment and no such records existed.
