Dear HSG-II/
HSG-I/ HSG-I (NFG) members and companions!
As per Dte's OM No.13-01/2020-SR dated 20-04-2020,
the last date to file nomination for new union / association was on 31.05.2020.
As per DoPT
classification of posts after 7th CPC is:-
Pay matrix 9
& above is Class-A
Pay matrix
6, 7 & 8 is Class-B
Pay matrix 1
to 5 is Class-C
We applied
for separate category and association for HSG-II / HSG-I / HSG-I (NFG) having
pay matrix 6, 7 & 8 which falls under Group ‘B’ (Non-Gazetted).
After
scrutinizing our Application, Constitution, Memorandum and list of estimated
members, the Postal Directorate has allowed us to participate in the membership
verification 2020 as "All India Association of Supervisor Cadre (Gr.
B).
Further, Shri R.N. Prashar, Secretary General, NFPE wrote to the Directorate and claimed HSG-II, HSG-I & HSG-I (NFG) belong to Group ‘C’ category as per
earlier categorization of DoP for their commonality and homogenous nature and
insisted the Postal Directorate to
cancel nomination of AIASC.
It has created
a little confusion amongst existing HSG-II, HSG-I & HSG-I (NFG) members /officials. A detailed inquiry with the Postal Directorate
(SR Section) was made in this regard and also about the category of erstwhile separate
Association for Supervisor (General Line) which reveals that-
As per Postal
Directorate OM F. No. 13-01/2020-SR
dated 03-03-2020, there was no separate union/association in the Gr-B
Category, i.e. HSG-II, HSG-I & HSG-I
(NFG) existed in the DOP.
Only AIASC applied for such Group ‘B’ Category,
i.e. for HSG-II, HSG-I & HSG-I (NFG)
officials. Scrutinizing all of our documents and in consultation with DoPT, the
Postal Directorate decided to allow HSG-II, HSG-I & HSG-I (NFG) officials in the process of verification of membership
under AIASC vide OM File No. T-15/2/2020-SR dated 24-07-2020.
It is
pertinent to mention here that the power /responsibility of defining any
‘distinct category’ had been delegated to the Ministry / Department as per Point
of Doubt 3 clarified in the DOPT OM No 2/2/94 - JCA dated 22-04-1994. Naturally,
nothing (any representation) even court cases can be fruitful against such
decision.
The Postal
Directorate OM F. No. 13-01/2020-SR dated 03-03-2020 was issued in supersession
of all earlier order. As such, the erstwhile ‘distinct category’ for separate
Association for Supervisor (General Line) which consisted of LSG (including
TBOP Officials), HSG-II (including BCR Officials) and HSG-I officials of Post
Offices has automatically been dismantled because as on 03-03-2020, it had not
the protection for maintaining ‘Status Quo’ as per order of the Hon’ble High
Court of Delhi dtd 06-05-1997 in C.W.P. No 1827/97 as the case (Writ Petition) was transferred to the Hon’ble CAT, Principal
Bench in New Delhi vide TA No 12/2015 and ultimately DISMISSED on 27-07-2019.
Please click on the Link below to view the order/judgement.
So there is
no any chance for revival of erstwhile ‘distinct category’ for separate
Association for Supervisor (General Line). Any court cases for its revival will
definitely yield ‘Tarikh-pe-Tarikh” and ultimately “DISMISSAL” because the
departmental order was a valid one.
There will
be approximately one week available for Online Verification of Membership in the
Employee Portal (SAP) under individual Log in. Before this exercise, the Postal
Directorate will issue necessary Office Memorandum wherein each ‘distinct
category’ and name unions / associations those are finally going to participate
in the Online Verification of Membership-2020 will be clearly mentioned. In
this regard Recommendation of the
Committee for suggesting modification and better system in verification process
for recognition of Associations ( Online
Verification of Membership-2020) vide
the Postal Directorate OM No F No 09-01/2018-SR dated 01-06-2020 is given
hereunder in the following link:
So friends……
It is clear
path for us without any confusion/ hesitation. The Postal Directorate is favouring
us at this crucial time. We should step forward with clear mind & vision
that only AIASC is the “Sun of Liberty” for all HSG-II/HSG-I/HSG-I (NFG) officials
who cannot become members of any existing Group ‘C’ unions anymore and all the
HSG-II/ HSG-I/ HSG-I (NFG) officials are cordially invited to join AIASC
irrespective of any earlier difference/ bitterness, if any, with a view to
boost the power of unity and contribute in the process to rise AIASC for mutual
service benefit of all of us.
We are
looking forward and your active co-operation is highly solicited.
Truly yours,
(Balveer
Singh)
General
Secretary
All India
Association of Supervisor Cadre (Gr. B)
