Sub: Implementation of the order given on 24.02.95 in OA No. 541/1994 by Jabalpur CAT.
Sir,

            Kindly refer to your reply given vide 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 Jabalpur CAT order.

            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. The Honourable CAT directed for the payment of the arrears of the pay to our officers at par with the CBI Inspectors w.e.f. 01.01.86, if pay commission recommends the same pay scale for both categories of Inspectors. But the order has not been implemented despite of same pay scale being recommended for both categories by the concerned pay commission. It is also worth to reiterate that no appeal was made 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, this 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 but the order is yet to be implemented.
6. In view of the above, it is requested to kindly implement the said order at an early date.   
            Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
                                                                                                                                             
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.
