Subject: Regarding
non maintaining uniformity by Circles in making Adhoc Promotion of JTS Group A cadre.
Respected Sir,
The IP/ASP
Association intends to bring to your kind notice how Circles are resorting to
ad-hoc arrangement in total disregard to the statutory provisions on the
subject as well as proper manpower management and career advancement of the
employees. As explained in DOP&T’s O.M. No.28036/8/87-Estt.(D) dated
30.03.1988 read with O.M. No.28036/1/2001-Estt.(D) dated
23.07.2001, promotions/ appointments on ad-hoc basis are to be
resorted to a post which cannot be kept vacant in consideration of its
functional/operational requirement. In our Department, posts of PS Group ‘B’ and
JTS Group ‘A’ cadre are of such a nature that these cannot be kept vacant in
the larger interest of department and public as well.
Whenever adhoc
promotions are found inescapable in
selection posts in the exigency of service
the same should be ordered only from
amongst the senior-most eligible staff. As a rule, a junior
should not be promoted, ignoring his
senior unless the competent authority
ordering the ad-hoc promotion, considers
him unsuitable. Certain circles
are over sighting these rules while making ad-hoc promotions. Gujarat Circle is
set example where S/Shri J. D. Vankar, AD, PTC Vadodara & R. M. Shah, SRM 'W' Division, Vadodara are still
working in PS Gr. B cadre and their juniors are working in JTS Group A
cadre on adhoc basis since long. It means that inter-se-seniority has
not been
taken in to consideration while making the ad-hoc arrangements in JTS
cadre at
Gujarat Circle. This situation is arises because of non-convening
of JTS Gr. A DPC on time. In most of the
circles more than 50% JTS and STS posts are vacant. JTS Gr. A DPC for the year
2012-13 and 2013-14 and supplementary DPC for PS Gr. B cadre for 2013 are pending.
This
Association therefore requested your honour to kindly issue instructions to all
the circles to fill short term vacancies of JTS Gr. A cadre on ad-hoc basis
according to the guidelines issued by DOP&T and as per the inter-se-seniority
cum fitness at the earliest and convene pending DPCs (JTS Group A and
Supplementary PS Gr. B) for career advancement of the employees and to avoid
ad-hoc arrangements that is otherwise also creating ambiguities.
Hoping for a
proper course of action and line in reply.
Yours sincerely,
Sd/-
