Request for review of all long pending cases of the Group B officers.
Respected
Sir,
I on the behalf of the Postal Officer Association feel
privileged to congratulate your kind honour on joining the highest post of the department. We, the members of POA are sure that the department will achieve
new milestones under your intuitive vision and dexterous talent. The officers
who are part of the administration will also get justice while working under
your able guidance. This Association assures you all support and co-operation
in achieving all the goals and given the task of transforming all the Post Offices into a vital
network capable of serving the customer with all sophisticated services.
At the same time Association brings to your kind notice
some pending issues concerning our cadre which are enhancing the sense of
discontentment due to non-settlement of the same. It is being kindly recalled
that we also met your kind honour in your chamber as Member (P) where it was
explained how the senior members of the association have been discriminated
while conferring GP of Rs.4600/- to IPs and placing far-far seniors in the same
scale placing ASPs at the disadvantageous position. This has not only lowered
the dignity of the ASPs (Gazetted) but also given step-motherly treatment to
seniors by disturbing the already settled position of different cadres in
different scales.
Sir, you will agree that may it be 5th CPC or
7th CPC has kept ASPs and PS Group B officers above IPs thus placing
IP and ASP (Gazetted) in the same scale/GP for a particular period is not only
discrimination towards seniors but also a violation of natural justice. Extending the benefit to IPs ignoring the right of seniors when another cadre under separate
set of recruitment rule exit in the hierarchy is against equality and thereby
violation of article 14 and 21 of the constitution. Even the department is
extending benefit of ACP/MACP to those promoted as ASPs after 2006 creating
unnecessary anomalies and resentment amongst seniors particularly promoted as
ASPs prior to 1-1-2006.
With the motive of fare had just treatment amongst all aggrieved,
this association has written a series of the letter but the department has not taken any
positive cognizance of these letters. This issue was also discussed in
the Circle Working Committee meeting of the Postal officers Association held on
7th and 8th September 2019 at Faizabad Ayodhya
U.P. After discussion a resolution was
passed unanimously to take up the issue with directorate forcefully so accordingly copy
of the resolution along with earlier letters written to directorate was sent for
taking a favourable decision but unfortunately, it went for no result
till now.
It is therefore urged to kindly intervene and get all the
pending issue including above one settled early by issuing clear orders so that
all may get justice under your dynamic leadership.
With
warm regards
