IMPATIENCE OF BUREACRACY IN DEALING STAFF REPRESENTATIONS EXHIBITED BY GOVERNMENT ORDER

IMPATIENCE OF BUREACRACY IS GROWING


     The only opportunity available to Government staff to represent against any injustice perpetrated is through Representations to different Authorities in the Government Machinery - This basic right is also being curtailed now on the plea that such representations are bogging down the Official Machinery!!

     DOPT issued an order on CCS Conduct Rules 1974 on submission of representations by Government Servants on 19th April 2010 curtailing the rights of Government Employees to represent by restricting the Officers from considering any representation made beyond two times on the same issue - Even the second representation should be ignored if not new points are brought to the notice by the representing officials.

     This shows the impatience and growing intolerence of bureacracy towards dealing the representations from staff, which is a basic democratic right so far available to us.

  This stand of the Government will force large number of officials to approach for remedy in Central Administrative Tribunals and Higher forums of Judiciary in future.
