Legal funds for DPC case

Dear friends,
good afternoon.
          1. As all know that Association filed an IA in Supreme Court in Bharathan case for the DPC to the post of Asstt. Commissioner subject to the final verdict of the SLP of the Govt. particularly keeping in view of the regular retirements of our officers despite of a good number of vacancies being in hand as the implementation of the Parmar case will take time and the temporary posts of Asstt. Commissioner will be lapsed in the mean time on 18.12.18. No need to say that the promotions are ad-hoc which may be reviewed as per the final verdict or implementation of any court verdict immediately. Our IA is not against any person/category/zone because the officers belonging to all categories (General as well as reserved, I/C as well as non-I/C, direct as well as promotee, sportsperson as well as non-sportsperson etc.) belonging to all zones/regions are to be promoted, if DPC happens. Thus, legal funds are being appealed in the common interest of all irrespective of any individual, category or zone/region. 
          2. As far as the position of legal funds in r/o the DPC case is concerned, only around Rs. 1.80 lac as cash in hand and only around Rs. 5 lac in the account have been contributed by the various members/units belonging to various zones as communicated to by the Treasurer/Office Secretary. The legal fee to the tune of Rs. 16 lac (8+5+3) has already been paid and again at least Rs. 3 lac per hearing will be needed. We are thankful to our Senior Advocate that he started with Rs. 6 lac per hearing in initial appearance but charged Rs. 3 lac on the last hearing on the request of the Association regarding money deficit. So, friends, we are already in a deficit of more than Rs. 9 lac as only an amount of around Rs. 7 lac (actually less than it) has been contributed on the issue.
          3. The Association came to know that Sh. Manimohan & associates are appealing to the units/members not to contribute for the cause of this DPC terming it as misuse of money. I don't know what they are having in their mind and from where they are getting hefty funds to hire 3 senior advocates in addition to the advocates on record. It seems that they have collected money in very pre-planed and organised manner for the DPC not to happen to keep the officers retiring without promotion and perhaps for final lapse of the promotional posts. We have never to be confused by their appeals and be united for the furtherance of common interests of all categories, regions and zones without any bias. They are also confusing the cadre by putting wrong & misleading position about my seniority regarding Parmar case which I have already clarified in my earlier post.
           4. Accordingly, no need to say that our officers would have to continue contributing for the cause unless DPC happens and deficit is compensated. We should not get defeated in any of the cases merely for the want of funds. So, all are appealed to make the Association strong by contributing legal funds. We all know that this DPC will also benefit the Inspector and other lower cadres on account of cascading effect. We have to keep in mind that small drops can form large oceans, if united. So, all are appealed to contribute the maximum in the common interest of cadre. We have not to forget that the Association is formed for the furtherance of the common interests of all.
Loving regards,
RAVI MALIK,
