Sub: Complete implementation
of the order given on 24.02.95 in OA No. 541/1994 by the Honourable CAT of
Jabalpur.
Sir,
Kindly refer
to the letter F.No.A-26017/149/2008-Ad.IIA Dt. 10.01.19 in
r/o the Grievance registration number : CBOEC/E/2018/04156
regarding the implementation of the Honourable Jabalpur CAT order and also
the letter Ref. No. 47/AIB/A/19 Dt. 06.03.19 of the Association.
2.
It has been mentioned in the reply that as a sequel to CAT, Jabalpur bench
order dated 24.02.95 in OA No. 541/1994, pay scales of Inspectors, Examiners,
Preventive Officers were upgraded from Rs. 5500-9000 to Rs. 6500-10500 and
those of Superintendents (Customs/Central Excise)
and Appraisers were upgraded from Rs. 6500-10500 to Rs. 7500-12000
w.e.f. 21.04.2004. The proposal for ante-dating the effective date
from 21.04.2004 to 01.01.1996 was referred to Department of Expenditure twice
but Department of Expenditure did not concur with the proposal. It has further
been mentioned that the Association has filed W.P. No. 13471/2008 in the
Honourable High Court of Madhya Pradesh on this issue which is still
sub-judice.
3.
In this regard, it is to submit with due respect that the Jabalpur CAT order
dated 24.02.95 is yet to be implemented in complete
form. The Honourable CAT directed to place our Inspector and
also make the payment of the arrears of the pay to our officers at par with the
CBI Inspectors w.e.f. the date from which the CBI Inspectors were placed in the
pay scale of Rs. 2000-3200/-, if Vth pay commission recommends the same
pay scale for both categories of Inspectors. No need to say that the CBI
Inspectors were placed in the said pay scale w.e.f. 01.01.86. But the complete
order of the Honourable CAT has not been implemented despite of same pay scale
being recommended for both categories by the Vth CPC and despite of the
repeated requests of the Association. It is also worth to reiterate that no
appeal was made in the Honourable Supreme Court against the CAT
order.
4. As far as the question
of referring the matter to the Department of Expenditure is concerned,
the Honourable CAT gave no such direction. Regarding the date of effect,
arrears are to be paid w.e.f. 01.01.86 instead of 01.01.96 as per the order
given by the Honourable CAT.
5. As far as the question
of filing the Writ is concerned, the Association has filed no Writ in
the Honourable High Court of Madhya Pradesh regarding the said order
of the Honourable CAT. It is also worth to mention that all of the
then Central Excise Inspectors have already become Superintendents and Asstt.
Commissioner or above and many of them have also retired but the complete order
is yet to be implemented.
6. In view of the above,
it is requested to kindly implement the said order in complete form at an early
date by making the payment of the due arrears with the due interest to all of
our concerned/affected officers.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.
