Sub: Message of the Chairperson Dt. 28.10.14.
Madam,
Your kind attention is invited to your message Dt 28.10.14
2. It is submitted with due regards that some CSS officers starting from DS level and upto the lowest level of Section Officer have been applauded by your goodself by name in your message which may be a very good thing for them. But unfortunately, none of our officers has been applauded by you by name ignoring the fact that our Central Excise Executive Officers including the Inspectors and Superintendents actually did the full time job sitting in the office day & night for many months in very extraordinary manner to materialize the promotion orders. No need to submit that they did this specific work which was supposed to be done by some others. And miraculously, they also performed their executive duties alongwith.
3. Their missing names in your message shall have a demoralizing effect on them despite of multi-expert work being done by them. Instead of it, their morale should kindly have been boosted by mentioning their specific names by your goodself. No need to submit that S/Sh. Mahender Singh & Yogenra Garg alongwith their team comprising of S/Sh. Ranjit Kumar, Prashant Jha, Ashwani Lau, Anil Agarwal, Jitendra Singh, Amreek Singh, Rajneesh Gupta, Abhisek Sangwan and other concerned staff etc. have done a very remarkable work. We should also not forget the names like Ms. Neeraja Shah, Ms. Renu Jagdev, Sh. V. K. Singh and may be many more. Sh. Ashwani Lau requires a very specific appreciation in the matter being hundred percent involved in the work and showing his multi-skilled talent.
4. In view of above, it is very much requested to kindly recognize & appreciate the contribution of all of other remaining names for the historic work done by them which they are supposed to do until DPC work for the post of Asstt. Commissioner is streamlined in the CBEC by following the modal years as per the guidelines and schedule prescribed by the DOPT. No need to submit that we are still behind by two modal years in the matter.  
            Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,


 (RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.

Ref. No. 205/MACP/14                                                                          Dt. 30.10.14
To,
Ms. J. M. Shantisundharam,
The Chairperson, CBEC,
North Block, New Delhi.
Sub: Grant of MACP upgradation in promotional hierarchy.
Madam,
Kindly refer to the various earlier communications of the Association on the subject.
2. It is again submitted with due regards that the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India vide order in SLP No. 7467/2013 filed by the Govt.  against the judgement of the Hon’ble High Court of Chandigarh in CWP No. 19387/2011 has already confirmed the  order dated 31.05.2011 of Chandigarh CAT for grant of financial upgradation in the promotional hierarchy under MACPS. The same verdict has also been given by the Principal Bench of the Hon’ble Central Administrative Tribunal in the OA No. 904/2012 and 864/2014.
2. The same verdict has been given recently by the Madras High Court in W.P. No. 11535/14 and M.P. No. 1/14 on 16.10.14 undoing the para 8.1 of MACPS (copy of the judgement enclosed herewith). Thus, so many legal verdicts have been given by various courts including the Supreme Court but no relief is being given by the government/CBEC to its officers on the issue. 
3.  Para 8.1 of MACPS and offset of the MACP upgradation with time scale are not in consonance of the legal verdicts and are liable to be scrapped w.e.f. the very initiation. The offset of the MACP upgradation is also liable to be scrapped as per the verdict given by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Delhi Nurses Union (Regd.) Vs. U.O.I. and also by the Hon’ble CAT of Ernakulam in the case of Sh. N. K. Gopinatham Vs.  U.O.I.
4. The Principal Bench of the Hon’ble Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), New Delhi has also directed to implement the judgement of the Hon’ble Punjab & Haryana High Court in Union of India & others vs. Raj Pal & another (CWP No.19387/2011) vide its order dt. 15.09.14 in OA No.2553/2013.
 5. In view of the above, it is requested that the said para 8.1 of MACPS instructions may kindly be scrapped and the financial upgradations under the MACP scheme may be granted in accordance of the promotional hierarchy without offsetting the MACP upgradation with the time scale. Thus, the officers already getting the grade pay of Rs. 5400/- as time scale should be granted a grade pay of Rs. 6600/- on next MACP upgradation without offsetting with the time scale. No need to submit that the matter is not required to be referred to the DOPT/any nodal department because no department is above the judiciary. More employees are also not required to approach any legal court to get the due benefit as per the principle of res-judicata and also various legal verdicts based on this principle. The CBEC may kindly issue the due circular based on the above judgements on its own to grant the benefit to its employees taking the matter seriously.
            Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,

Encl: As above.
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.
