e-MAIL TO GS TO AVOID ANOTHER LITIGATION

Revised Category wise break up under 6% quota may be partially modified for PS Group ‘B’ LDCE but this revision was not demanded in the OA. This was infact a part of second relief sought in the original OA wherein quash of Sr. Postmaster (Group B Gazetted), Postmaster (Grade III and II-Group-B non- Gazetted) and Postmaster Grade-I Group C Recruitment rules, 2010 was requested. As per these statutory rules all the 116 Sr. Postmaster posts mention therein are to be carved out from General line but instead the quota of the Inspector line has also been reduced from 19% and 75%. In General line quota there are only 52 posts (6%). Hence these rules become redundant. The relief for change in statutory rules is a subject matter of long discussion so we will have to file a separate case for that. To avoid litigation, I had long discussion with you and you had assured me to go to Directorate to discuss the matter and get the things set right amicably. I again through this email request you to kindly submit a representation to Dte. with the request to post all General line aspirants as Sr. Postmaster, as the PS Group B posts in their quota are already full, rather 4 officers (27 -23) are working in excess if we go by the recruitment rules of 2010 though these are running contrary to PS Group B recruitment rule 1987. If there is a litigation than our demand will to fill up 52 posts of Sr. Postmaster from General Line and rest 64 posts from 19% IP line LDCE quota. If we go by Postmaster recruitment rule 2010 there are two quota 25% of 116 i.e 29 posts are earmarked for General line and 75% all through competitive examination from IP line. In case department goes against the statutory rule framed by them we will have no option except to file another application in the Hon'ble CAT for relief and justice.
