Copy of the letter given to Secretary (Posts) on the above issue is reproduced below for information of all members:
No. CHQ/IPASP/DPC/2012 Dated : 25/7/2012.
To,
Smt. Manjula Prasher,
Director General,
Department of Posts,
Dak Bhavan, New Delhi 110 001.
Sub: Convening of regular DPC for promotion to PS Group ‘B’.
Respected Madam,
Kindly
refer to this Associations letter of even number dated 7/5/2012
regarding convening of regular and supplementary DPC for the promotion
to PS Gr. B cadre.
There
are set rules and procedure to convene DPCs at regular intervals to
draw up panels which could be utilized for effecting promotions/against
vacancies occurring during the course of a given year. As such,
department should by now initiate action to fill up the existing as well
as anticipated vacancies in the respective quota as per the
instructions contained in DOP&T OM No. 22011/5/86-Estt.D dated
10/4/1986. By not adhering to the standing instructions of DOPT, the
department is unnecessarily dragging the members of the Association into
litigation.
It
is pertinent to mention here that there remain 22 to 23 vacancies from
the last DPC under 75% quota for the vacancy year 2011, so supplementary
DPC for the vacancy year 2011 was required to be conducted as it is
done every year before any promotion through LDCE (25% quota). But
contrary to this, the department has declared the result of LDCE for PS
Group “B” that too in a haste ignoring the right of Senior ASPs waiting
their elevation for the last 23 to 24 years. Now, the department cannot
blame members of the Association for any litigation that could arise
owing to fixation of seniority for not convening supplementary DPC for
the vacancies year 2011.
It
is therefore once again requested that suitable orders may kindly be
passed to put in place immediately for calling ACRs/APARs of eligible
officers for holding DPC for the left out vacancies for the year 2011,
and also for vacancy year 2012.
A positive action will be highly appreciated.
With regards,
Yours sincerely,
