Dt. 08.03.22
To,
Sh. Vivek Johri,
Chairman, CBIC,
North Block, New
Delhi.
Sub: Unlawful, highhanded and atrocious suspension to
satisfy personal ego.
Sir,
Your kind
attention is invited to the unlawful, highhanded and atrocious order issued
vide C. No. II/10-A/03/2022-Vig Dt. 03/04.03.22 (copy enclosed) by Sh. D. Anil,
Commissioner of Customs (Preventive), Tiruchirapalli.
2. It is
submitted with due regards that Sh. R. Balaji, Superintendent, has been put
under suspension by Sh. D. Anil vide above mentioned order because Sh. R.
Balaji couldn’t attend Sh. Anil’s private visit on a holiday. As per the
information gathered, Sh. Anil went to Rameshwaram on a Sunday for holidaying
and private tourism with his wife and family. This visit was not informed
officially to any formation. On the way, he visited the Mandapam Customs
formation and found that Sh. Balaji was not present there to facilitate and
protocol his private visit and serve his family on Sunday. So, he suspended the
said officer to satisfy his ego in unlawful and highhanded manner because of
not getting private service for him and his family from Sh. Balaji.
3. No need
to submit that it is a totally atrocious act on the part of the concerned
Commissioner. It is also to reiterate that Sh. Balaji was not aware about his
holidaying visit at all as he was not communicated about it by anyone. It is,
however, is a question of law as to why a gazetted officer of Govt. of India or
even any other officer should be present on the spot to protocol and serve a
private visit of any authority or his family on holiday or at any other day to satisfy
the personal ego of the concerned authority or to give private facilitation and
service to the authority and his family. It is also a question of law whether
Sh. Anil, not being the cadre control/appointing/disciplinary authority of Sh.
Balaji, is authorized to suspend our Superintendent. It is also a question of
law whether our officers are supposed to serve and entertain the wives and
children of the higher authorities.
4. So, the
above incident proves that such authorities want to treat our gazetted officers
like their personal servants. They are appeased to treat our officers as their
slaves. It is not understood whether our gazetted executive officers are
appointed to serve families of such authorities. Such mentality of our higher
authorities is required to be mended. Being sit on seats of power, their
approach should be like a family head and a welfare officer instead of showing
despotic attitude.
5. In view
of the above, it is requested to kindly check such incidents immediately and
revoke the suspension of the suspended officer with all consequential benefits for
the sake of justice. Such despotic attitude as shown by Sh. Anil is damaging to
whole system in our greatest democracy of the world.
Thanking
you,
Yours
sincerely,
Encls.: As above.
