Fight Collectively and Be Positive  

There were supportive tweets, comments and demands on a letter written to Secretary Post on JTS issue. At the same time there was suggestion for writing further for maintaining hierarchical balance in the cadre so that all may get timely promotion and elevation to JTS/STS cadre. Some of the comments have been published and some deleted not known to every one for such deletion. Any way some fear of being annoyed or others happiness can be the cause.  We are emotional beings and experience a wide range of feelings on a daily basis. Negative emotions – such as fear and anger – help us to get away from danger or defend ourselves. And positive emotions – such as enjoyment and hope – help us to connect with others and build our capacity to cope when things go wrong. Yes, we should also be viewed in a positive way as it can spur us to do better. It is an opportunity to improve. We should like our thoughts but at the same time it is also reality that we, as divisional heads and subordinate to officers sitting at helm of affairs watching us with???? mark, cannot move all the things as per our will. We can’t depend on association too for every need and deeds but for these we have to fight legally particularly when legally course of action is in our favour. In case the DPC is not being conducted in time, it is administrative dispensation to do so in time, it is held in many cases that the competent authority is expected to be in the know exactly when a particular vacancy would occur. The availability of those eligible for consideration thereof would, obviously, be to the notice of competent authority. In the normal course of things the relevant consideration must come about within a reasonable time. If it gets delayed for one reason or other, the employee ultimately promoted ought to get benefit of promotion with effect from the date the vacancy becomes available. The availability of a vacancy is the first essential facet of consideration, the other being the eligibility thereof. If these two faces co-exist and the consideration gets delayed for no fault of the employee ultimately found fit for promotion, principle of natural justice would require the grant of the benefit with retrospective effect. Such retrospective promotion was ordered by Apex Court to mitigate the hardship of the employee in view of the fact that the delay was not attributable to the employee.  In view of this if DPC is not being held, no matters but the eligible Group B officers will legally get benefit and seniority from the date of eligibility. We have the determination to fight for rights. The individual officer eligible for promotion should come forward  instead of depending on association.Association can write to administration but not fight in the court of law. Yes association will file case in CAT in case pay anomalies brought to the notice of Directorate are not settled. Be positive, Be Happy and be united.
