Sub: Meeting held through video conference on 10.06.20 on DPC for the post of Asstt. Commissioner.
Sir,
Kindly refer to the meeting held on 10.06.20 through video conference under your kind Chair.
2. It is to submit with due regards that it was observed during the meeting that S/Sh. R. Manimohan and Shishir Agnihotri were adamant to implement the Bharathan and Parmar verdicts for all before the DPC is convened. They opposed the convening of DPC overwhelmingly in the name of implementation of the Bharathan/Parmar verdict and put all arguments to stop the DPC despite of knowing that our officers are retiring every month without promotion for the want of DPC. These officers are literally crying at the time of retirement for not getting promotion despite of thousands of promotional posts being vacant.
3. As far as the adamancy of Sh. Manimohan group not to convene DPC in the name of the implementation of the Bharathan/Parmar verdict is concerned, it is submitted that the Parmar verdict has already been overruled by a larger bench of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the Meghchandra Singh case. Accordingly, even the implementation of the Bharathan verdict in the case of the applicants in person doesn’t seem legal because the verdict in Meghchandra Singh case came very well before the implementation of the Bharathan verdict. As on date, this is the actual legal position.
4. However, many of our officers may be in the favour of the implementation of the Parmar verdict and many other may be against it. This verdict has also been implemented at a few places in r/o the local seniority list of the Inspectors but it has neither been implemented in r/o the seniority list of the Superintendents at the local level nor has been inserted in the All India Seniority List of Superintendents except Sh. Bharathan and others in person. But it is true that it should be implemented uniformly for all, if to be implemented. Likewise, it should not be implemented even for a single person, if not to be implemented. However, it is reiterated that its implementation or non-implementation should not be linked with the DPCs for ad-hoc promotions and the said DPCs no way be affected, stopped or delayed due to this reason.
5. Sh. R. Manimohan has also given a conditional letter to convene the DPC saying that DPC should be conducted as per rules, regulations and court decisions. This letter again very well shows that he is not in the favour of DPC perhaps due to the reason that he is not going to be promoted. He is totally unable to understand the pain of the officers retiring without promotion. He has established habit of working in the vested interest as he and his associates once divided the Inspectors Association also under the vested interest when these all were the Inspectors. The same trick they played to divide the Gazetted Officers Association under their vested interest.
6. We are really unable to understand why our CBIC is giving so importance to these persons. As far as any further stay on DPC is apprehended, they have no further ground for it after the Parmar verdict being overruled by a larger bench of the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Actually, a few of these splinters sat in a close room in Chennai instead of joining the Gandhidham Convention of the Association in May, 2017 to contest elections at Gandhidham. They formed their so called Association unauthorisedly and illegally using the name of this Association. They claim that only the Superintendents are their members whereas this Association has Superintendents as well as promotee Group A officers as its members as per the resolution passed in Daman Convention in which many of these splinters were also the party. This resolution was passed on the lines of the Income Tax Gazetted Officers Association and all other Associations/Federations under CBIC, all of which have feeder as well as promoted officers as their members as also replied by the CBIC vide letter F.No. A-12013/05RTI/202020-Ad.IV-A Dt. 25.02.20 under RTI.
7. It is also worth to mention that these splinters have never been granted the recognition as the Association under the RSA Rules whereas this Association is duly recognized under the said rules having double stepped recognition, first for two years and further for five years. As per the RSA Rules, no further renewal is required after it as there exists no clause of renewal under these rules. However, this Association duly applied for renewal on insisting for the same by the concerned section submitting the amended Constitution repeatedly on various occasions. It is also worth to submit that the CBIC has also already given affidavit in the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the favour of this Association in SLP (C) No. 4870-4871/2018 on 09.04.18.
8. In view of the above, it is requested to conduct the DPC and issue the promotion orders at the earliest on the basis of the existing All India Seniority List of the Superintendents without giving any weightage to the objection made by the above said splinters on DPC, so that our Superintendents don’t retire this month without promotion. If there is any case pending in any legal court in relation of the seniority, the DPC may be conducted and promotion orders be issued subject to the outcome of these cases. All other Associations/Federations except these splinters have already given their consent for the DPC. It is also requested to conduct the DPC for the Central Excise/CGST stream, if the CBIC is unable to convene the DPC for Customs stream due to any reason including the seniority dispute. It is also requested that these splinters may also kindly not be allowed to use the name of this Association and they may not kindly be entertained by the CBIC in the name of this Association.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
                                                                                                                               
(HARPAL SINGH),
Secretary General.
