ODDS AND EVENS...


Petition on Grp-A Recruitment Rules :-
As informed earlier, the Promotee Officers of Grp-A, Mumbai & Pune, have filed a petition in Mumbai CAT, challenging the proposed new Grp-A Recruitment Rules(RRs), wherein no mention is made about 2118 temporary posts created in the Cadre Restructuring-2014, and prayed for a stay in its publication till the requisite amendments are carried out.

The Promotee Officers Association filed a Misc. Petition against the Recruitment Rules to advance (prepone) the hearing from 21-Dec-2015 to the 18-Dec-2015. The matter came up for hearing today.

On hearing both the sides, the Honourable CAT-Mumbai stayed the issuance of Notification for Recruitment Rules till the next date of hearing, i.e. 06-Jan-2016.

It is a shock to the Board, who did not expect the RR for Grp-A to be stayed at a local level like CAT-Mumbai. This will block the Board from holding the DPC for carrying out any promotion of the senior officers. The frustration of not getting promoted/delay in promotions will now be felt by the senior officers.

It is learnt that due to the delay in the completion of the formality for the issuance of the RR Notification, the senior officers of the Department met the UPSC Chairman/Member and also the Secretary, DoPT, requesting them to hold the DPC for the posts arising out of Cadre Restructuring at the earliest. Both the USPC Chairman & the Secretary, DoPT, have categorically informed that without regularization of the earlier adhoc posts, no more dates for DPC will be granted.

The CAT-Mumbai stay order will further increase the frustration levels of the senior officers, who are helpless except for gnawing on their nails.
