कथनी, करनी और भरनी

Maturity is learning to walk away from people and situations that threaten your peace of mind, self-respect, value, morals or self-worth.
However, we all are busy with the rituals which are far away from actual in practice. Small allegation or a simple lapse committed by a Junior Officers is accountable and punishable disproportionate to their silly mistakes whereas blatant indulgence by the Seniors is disperable.

       Sub: Manipulation of transfer & Postings in the AGT 2016 – Request for     rectification. 

Respected Sir,

Your kind attention is invited to the C.C’s office letter dated 19^th October, 2016 on the above subject under which representation of CESA, Mumbai has been annexed.

At the outset CESA expresses its resentment about the inordinate delay by the C.C office when it was brought to their kind notice, in taking appropriate action on outright violation and favouritism on the above matter pertaining to Thane-I Commissionerate. Also, delay in initiating steps to transfer Administrative Officers who have been continuing in the same place; more than two years in one place, in one section.

In this regard the Vigilance awareness week is going on from 31^st October to 5^th November.  The purpose is “seeks your co-operation in eradicating corruption” but from the said affairs it is visible the administration of Thane-I at the disposal of the then Thane-I Commissioner indulged in corrupt practices in transfer & Postings. When everything is fixed, who will go where with a price tag, can it be called a fair order. The legacy of corrupt practice of Thane-I & Thane-II Commissionerates needs to be checked and it depends upon the present administration’s competence as well as courage to stop malpractices in the administration so that a positive signal will go to the field level. The current syndicate and coitre in Thane-I Commissionerate needs to be dismantled and appropriate action against them may be taken.

Sir, your kind attention is invited to your office letter F.No.II/3E-1/TH-I/2015 dated 13.5.2016 & 27^th May, 2016 and also 15^th July, 2016 wherein the then Commissioner recommended retention of the officers and made several rounds to C.C. office for favour. However, C.C. office had not considered the recommendations except in one case where she has pleaded “he is responsible for timely submission of reports and returns and monitoring of revenue performance. He is also an important link between Hqrs and divisions for any work assigned to him from time to time. He may be retained for one more year in this Commisionerate”. First of all the then Commissioner was under orders of transfer before relinquishing her charge on the last working day issued the AGT order which was full of manipulations. 

Now, can the Committee entrusted for issuance of AGT certify that the said AGT order is fair one and no consideration has taken place while recommending the names of the officers for the post from division to division, from Hqrs (Prev.) to Divisions, from one sensitive to another sensitive plus posting officers under medical ground and vigilance for creating place for others. The purpose of Vigilance awareness week will be beneficial, if the Committee owns the responsibility and the spirit of the mission is maintained.

CESA, Mumbai strongly expresses its resentment that the then administration failed in acquiring any infrastructures or improvement of present infrastructures and clearing/disposal of not single vigilance case which is highest in the zone. The legacy of the corruption and coitry continuously flourished without any check.

Sir, we leave it to your best judgment that our Chief Commissioner and yourself are known for honesty and integrity and CESA expects that not only you will carry out the same virtue but also bold and courage enough to take action those who indulge in corrupt practices in the administration at your disposal.

CESA, Mumbai will extend it’s fullest co-operation for rectification of the order at the earliest.

Thanking You,                   Yours sincerely,

                                                    A. K. SASMAL

The Commissioner,

Central Excise, Thane-II,

Navprabhat Chambers, Ranade Road,

Dadar (West), Mumbai-400 028. 

               Sub: Request for rectification of the AGT order 2016 – Reg. 

Respected Madam,

Your kind attention is invited to the C.C’s office letter dated 19^th October, 2016 on the above subject under which the representation of CESA, Mumbai has been annexed.

Please find enclosed a copy of letter dated 02.11.2016 addressed to Commissioner, C. Excise, Thane-I on the subject which is self explained. As the Administration of the Thane-I and Thane-II was with the same Authority, who under orders of transfer, in the last working day issued the AGT adopting different methods in Thane-I & Thane-II with vested interest.

The legacy of the corruption and manipulation needs not only to be exposed but also expected some punitive actions.

Madam, while issuing AGT order for Mumbai-IV your good-self has taken utmost care as well as the AGT order of Mumbai-I Commissionerate which are flawless and non-discriminatory one.

In the AGT of Thane-II Commissionerate, when everything is fixed, who will go where, can it be called a fair & balanced order. The outright favouritism to one officer at Vasai and another officer from Boisar 1 to Boisar 2 divisions (sensitive to sensitive) leads a clear cut message that the postings are on sale whoever may be the administrator managing postings according to the expectations and aspirations will be obtained without any fail which guaranteed their mission and ambition and embolden further so that other officer can be lured to their trap in the transfer and posting syndicate.

Madam, we leave it to your best judgement that the fairness which you have maintained in Mumbai-IV Commissionerate, the same will be followed in Thane-II Commissionerate also. Manipulations and favouritism carried out by the then administration will have to be rectified and the said officers who are so resourceful, their services can be utilized in Adjudications and Recovery sections.

CESA, Mumbai express it’s fullest co-operation in this regard.

Thanking You,     

                                Yours sincerely,
