Sir,
Sub;
Cadre restructure in Tamil Nadu Circle-reg
We are highly agonized to bring to your kind notice about the implementation of
Cadre Restructure in Tamil Nadu in a hasty way and in the process violating all
norms governing the subject. All the representation of unions, besides
individuals has been totally discarded with no due consideration at all.
The
identification of Posts, in LSG in particular, by the Chief PMG is evidently in
stark deviation to the basic rule of cadre restructure. Of the total, 2869 LSG
post allotted to the circle about 1818 posts of SPM of single handed and double
handed offices has been identified. The rest of the 1051 posts have been
identified from among times scale PA Post like OAs, PA in HO, CPC,BPC and
Treasurers and PAs in RLO etc.
The copies of the orders issued by Chief PMG, identifying the LSG/HSG II/HSG I attaching
herewith.
As
could be seen from LSG Posts, it is very much apparent that Chief PMG has
identified Posts other than SPMs of “C” & “B” Classes. It is not known as
to which authority or statutory rule that is relied upon by the Circle
administration to devise their own scheme of identifying the LSG Posts from
among the post authorized and prescribed by directorate.
If identification of LSG Posts more than the entitled Posts is allowed, it
shall lead to absolute chaos manipulation in the identifying the post. The
strange decision not in line with base rule is nothing but an act inviting
arbitrariness enabling the vested interest to play havoc.
If
this kind of the uncalled for action of Chief PMG is upheld, the same sort of
pattern may kindly be ordered in all circles empowering the head of the circle
to identify post of his choice.
SENIORITY
LIST
The second aspect of clear violation o f not our rule but also the
natural justice behold of employees of Tamil Nadu Circle is the way the Circle
Seniority List was compiled and the draft list was circulated among the
staff found in the list .The orders of promotion have been issued based
upon this seniority list which is still in the level draft list totally
ignoring the representation of aggrieved officials and without addressing the
objection raised by the union over the tenability of the list in so far the
criterion followed in fixing the seniority as per the rules on the subject.
The draft Seniority List circulated by the Chief PMG, Tamil Nadu Circle is
attached.
The
Seniority List is the first of its kind circulated after 1985 [since when the
Circle Gradation List was scrapped following the divisonilisation of LSG sequel
to introduction of TBOP]. The Seniority List instead of incorporating all eligible
officials as an any cutoff date in the recent past has been abridged. The short
listed seniority list is stated to have included the officials who were
appointed before 4.11.1992 and confirmed after 1988. Added to this constraint
with two attributes, the date of confirmation is taken as a criterion for the
deciding the seniority even though the rule is very clear that date appointment
should be taken for those whose seniority is not determined ever before in the
circle. As this is the first time seniority of all enlisted officials are fixed
the date of confirmation should not have been taken into account wide DOPT
letter
The
Cadre Restructure is now ordered on the basis of this seniority list pertaining
to a period of unknown relevancy with two attributes of 04.11.1992/01.04.1988
as cut off.
The reason for constraining list the officials is not known and the officials
in this list are far less than the officials required for promotion and for
filling up of the identified Posts [zero of consideration].
My Circle, Union has already objected to the irregularity in the Four Monthly
Meeting held on 20.04.2017 as follows.
“Request
for recasting the latest Circle Seniority List now under circulation [for those
who are appointed before 04.11.1992 and confirmed after 01.04.1988] as per the
criterion instructed in the following rules on the subject.
(a) DO
PT OM No. 20011/5/90 Estt (D) dated 04.11.1992 (for fixing seniority as per the
date of appointment for those whose seniority has not been already fixed)
(b) C.O.
OM No. STA/29-2/75 dated 14.07.1975 (for ensuring the confirmation condition is
confined to an intra batch of a given year).
(c) C.O.
Letter No. STA/5-1/88 dated 22.01.1989 (to uniformly confirm all those who fulfil
the eligibility of confirmation sequel to the delinking of lien for the
purpose) in a bid to dispel the disparity in vogue among units.”
Despite the assurance given by Chief PMG in the minutes of the meeting, the
demand of the Union will be reviewed, no plausible correction is effected to
the truncated seniority list.
Many of individual representations made by the aggrieved officials also did not
receive any response, so far.
Thus the seniority list which is a full of flaws and in violation of rules,
have been considered by Circle administration, just in order to complete Cadre
Restructure in haste.
It is, therefore, requested that the above request may kindly be considered and
cause to implement the Cadre Restructure in its true spirit in Tamil Nadu
without implementing the Cadre Restructure in a hasty manner.
A line is reply is highly solicited.
Yours
Sincerely,
(D
Kishan Rao)
General
Secretary.
