To,
The Chief Commissioner,
Central Goods & Service Tax, Jaipur Zone,
Jaipur.
Sub: Denial of station leaving permission to the officers on holidays.
Sir,
            It is to submit with due regards that the offices are being opened on holidays (i.e., Saturday and Sunday) in the Jaipur zone without giving any opportunity to the officers to be relaxed and meet their families. February onwards, the officers are directed almost on Friday to keep the offices opened and be on duty to undertake various works such as revenue augmentation, completing DGARM reports etc.
            2. The officers posted outside Jaipur or their parent place are doing weekly up-down from duty place to their parent place where their families are settled. Thus, the officers are facing regular hardship with the directions on almost every weekend forcing them to remain at their Headquarters. It is worth to submit that the holidays including Saturdays and Sundays are meant for family to fulfill family obligations. The families of the officers are being ignored by forcing the officers for non visiting their families and they are unable to perform their parental duties for children, sonly duties for parents, spousely duties for spouse, relationly duties for relatives and friendly duties for friends. They have to look their old and ailing parents, education as well as career and marriage related duties for children and more particularly marriage of daughters, family requirements and social obligations etc. on these holidays.
            3. It is further to submit that the officers are required to be relaxed and tension free in the interest of work efficiency and government revenue. Despite of all odds and facing the worst career prospects, the efforts of these officers are instrumental in collection of record revenue in National interest. The DOPT guidelines also say that the officers should be granted periodical leaves to keep them relaxed and tension free in the interest of government work but they are not being allowed even to avail holidays meant for fulfilment of family obligation and other social responsibilities in Jaipur zone under your kind control. They also need time to spend with their family, parents, friends and society.  
4. Needless to submit that our officers are already working under acute tension due to huge work pressure, poor pay packages and the worst career prospects. Under such circumstances, our authorities are required to work as family heads instead of administrative heads and treat the subordinate officers as family members instead of merely as administrative subordinates to create an atmosphere of healthy and tension free work culture.
5. In view of the above, it is requested to kindly open the offices as per statutory provisions only and not to deny leaves/holidays as well as station leaving to the officers to keep them relaxed and tension free and also allow them to fulfil their family as well as social obligations.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
                                                                                   
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.

            2. The Hon’ble Tribunal has observed that the para 4.8 of the transfer guidelines clearly states that the officers on promotion from Group ‘B’ to Group ‘A’ shall be transferred out of the station where they were working at the time of promotion unless the balance service is less than three years. It has been further observed that the para 11.3 of these guidelines states that the officers who have three years or less service left shall be posted at the station of their choice to the extent possible.
            3. Accordingly, the Hon,ble Tribunal has directed to adjust the applicant at Lucknow, i.e., his home town, within 15 days of the receipt of the order. The applicant in this case is Sh. N. N. Lal, a promotee Asstt. Commissioner, transferred to NACIN, Kanpur against the policy/guidelines.  
4. In view of the above, it is requested to kindly transfer Sh. N. N. Lal and all equally placed officers to their requested place at an early date.

Sub: Implementation of the Subramaniam verdict.
Sir,
            Your kind attention is invited to the letter F. No. A-23011/20/2019-Ad.IIA Dt. 17.05.19 of the CBIC implementing the order given on 01.01.19 in the OA No. 1087/2018 filed by the Bihar and Jharkhand unit of the AIACEGEO in the Hon’ble Central Administrative Tribunal of Patna. The Chief Commissioner of CGST of Ranchi Zone has been asked vide above letter to implement the Subramaniam verdict given in WP No. 13225 of 2010 by the Hon’ble Madras High Court against which the SLP as well as review petition of the CBIC was dismissed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court.
            2. It is reiterated with due regards that the applicant association is one of the units of the AIACEGEO having its members throughout the country. So, the verdict given by the Hon’ble CAT is liable to be equally applicable to all members of the Association, i.e., Superintendents and promotee Group ‘A’ IRS officers, throughout the country without any exception or discrimination.
            3. In this regard, your kind attention is again invited to the verdict given by the Hon’ble Apex Court in SLP No. 77457/2017 in r/o the order Dt. 23.03.17 given by the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi in WP No. 2634/2017 in which the Apex Court said,“Once the question, in principle, has been settled, it is only appropriate on the part of the Government of India to issue a circular so that it will save the time of the court and the Administrative Departments apart from avoiding unnecessary and avoidable expenditure.” The Hon’ble Court further directed the Government of India to immediately look into the matter and issue appropriate orders so that people need not unnecessarily travel either to the Tribunal or the High Court or the Supreme Court.  
4. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in the judgment Dt. 17.10.14 in the Civil Appeal No. 9849 of 2014 in the matter of State of Uttar Pradesh & Ors Vs. Arvind Kumar Srivastava & Ors also held as under: 
“Normal rule is that when a particular set of employees is given relief by the Court, all other identically situated persons need to be treated alike by extending that benefit. Not doing so would amount to discrimination and would be violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. This principle needs to be applied in service matters more emphatically as the service jurisprudence evolved by this Court from time to time postulates that all similarly situated persons should be treated similarly. Therefore, the normal rule would be that merely because other similarly situated persons did not approach the Court earlier, they are not to be treated differently.”
5. In view of the above, it is requested to kindly implement the Subramaniam verdict in rem throughout the country giving benefit to all affected officers at an early date.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
