Stopping senior clerk R F Gawades promotion,the board noted that both the posts of chief revenue superintendent (CRS) and chief account (CA) involve high pressure work environment and require regular attendance and reliability an since Gawade was not regular in his job he couldnt be promoted to the post.

Gawade was considered for the post of CRS,but due to his repeated ill health and blood pressure problem,he is not a suitable candidate to handle important and sensitive post of CRS, noted the minutes of the meeting which was held last month.
