Apropos references, it is to bring to the kind and personal
notice of the Secretary Posts that undue privileges are extended to the All
India Association of Postal Supervisors (General) line, against the orders of
the Department and Hon’ble High Court, Delhi, despite of raising up this matter
to the kind notice of the Department by this union vide the reference cited
under (iv) & (v). In this connection our Union wants to put forth the
following again.
The All India Association of Postal Supervisors(General) line
has not taken part in any membership verification, except during 1997 and they
have filed a case in the High Court, Delhi challenging the composition of
categories identified for recognition of Service Associations in terms of CCS
(RSA) Rules,1993. The Hon’ble High Court vide interim order dt.06.05.1997
directed the respondent Department to maintain status quo till the matter is
settled. This means that the erstwhile members can only run the organization
and no new members should be allowed to be enrolled / elected.
Based on that only, the Department has issued directions to the
CPMG, UP Circle in a letter, vide the reference cited under (i) stating that,
the Supervisors, General Line Association does not participate in the
verification process and their status as Association in terms of recognition
and also in terms of membership etc. remain as it was at the time of passing
the interim order dt.06.05.1997 ibid.
Similarly, vide the reference (iii), in the Circular released by
the Department for the verification of membership for recognition of service
Association during the year 2015, vide para (v) (b), it is once again
reiterated that , as per the directions of the Hon’ble High Court , Delhi
in CWP 1827/97, status quo is to be maintained, till the case is heard. This
shows a clear picture of their position.
But, against all these, enrolment of fresh memberships were
allowed to All India Association of Postal Supervisors (General) line, almost
in all the Circles after 1997 Court order. Even though, they are not
participating in any of the membership verification as on date, new members
were enrolled and allowed to be the office bearers of the said Association from
All India level to Circle and Divisional levels. They were even extended with
all the trade union facilities, including periodical meetings/higher level
meetings etc.
Further, the Postmaster Grade was introduced in the Department
during the year 2010 and its initial constitution was made during the year
2011. Against the specific orders of the Hon’ble High Court, Delhi in CWP
1827/97, and against the specific directions of the Department vide reference
(iii), the PM Grade officials were not only allowed to become the members of
the said Association, but also allowed to become the General Secretary, Circle
Secretaries and Divisional Secretaries and they were extended with all the
trade union facilities including the periodical meetings at all levels. This is
in gross violation of CCS (RSA) Rules, 1993.
It is also to point out here that, by nomenclature itself, it is
All India Association of Supervisors (General) Line and the question of
enrolling a separately declared cadre viz. Postmaster Grade in the Association
does not arise.
Moreover, for the declaration of membership verification
process, it is clearly stated that any authorization given through a
non-applicant association shall be rejected. The Association as stated in the
subject has not participated in any of the verification process after 1997 and
as such the membership declaration given by them should not be entertained.
From the above, it is clear that, they cannot enroll any new
membership and there is restriction to effect recovery of subscription to the
extent of old authorization only. They are only entitled for the status Quo
Position as before 1997, as ordered by the Hon’ble Court.
Hence, our Union requests the personal kind intervention of the
Secretary Posts, in this matter so as to
1.
Maintain status quo of
the earlier membership of the said Association viz. as before 1997.
2. Stop recovery of any subscriptions from the members who were
enrolled after this order.
3. withdraw the Trade union facilities to the office
bearers who were enrolled after the period and elected in the body
4. withdraw the membership of Postmaster Grade officials from
the General Line Association and
5. Withdraw the trade union facilities extended to those office
bearers of the body holding by Postmaster Grade officials.
A line in reply about the action taken is highly appreciated.
With regards,
DA: As mentioned in the reference.
Yours Sincerely,
(R. N. Parashar)
Secretary General
