Sub:- Implementation of the Judgment of the Hon’ble Tribunal in OA
           no.2124/2011 – Regarding.

Ref:-  PA Wing lr.no. 33(3)/10/PA-Admn.I/104-129 dated 09-04-14.

Sir,

I wish to bring it to your kind notice that so far no PAO except Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Nagpur implemented the Judgment and made payment as per the clarification letter under reference. In spite of repeated requests from the Circle Associations, other PAOs are not serious enough to implement the judgment.

I would like to bring it to your kind notice the classic example of Lucknow PAO, where deliberate attempts are being made to stall the implementation of the Judgment. At the first instance, they raised the question on the applicability of the judgment to Lucknow PAO, then, expressed doubts on the date of effect. On both these counts PA Wing promptly clarified the position. After that they have made payment to about 22 officials without taking the difference of Pay + Grade Pay into account. After the issue of crystal clear clarification dated 09-04-14 by PA Wing they should have revised their fixation method and would have implemented the judgment. They have extended the benefit from the year 2013 only and to top it all, they have stopped stepping up on the date when the junior got financial up-gradation under MACP. In this connection, I wish to submit that, the MACP is nothing but modified ACP with three financial up-gradations. The natural corollary is to continue the stepping up benefit on promotion under MACP too. Further, they have not been drawing and adding the increased amount of pay due to stepping up to the current month salary of the Senior. When the Circle Association has taken up these issues several times orally and through letters, they are nonchalant. Finally it is replied simply that, they have implemented the orders. I am herewith enclosing the fixation memo and entire correspondence for your perusal. 

Under these circumstances, I am constrained to draw the conclusion that the officers at Lucknow PAO have deliberately taken a position on subjective consideration, not to implement the judgment as per the clarifications issued by the PA Wing. I earnestly request you to cause stern action in this regard so that the PAO Lucknow will fall in line and implement the order without interpolating their biased opinions.

I also request you to kindly cause instructions to all the PAOs to expedite the implementation of the judgment in the light of the next date of hearing on 04-07-2014 by Hon’ble Tribunal.

Regards,

Yours faithfully,

           Sd/-,
