RESOLUTION
The General Body
Meeting of this Association held on 11.12.2019 unanimously resolves to express
its deep concern and strong protest over the contemptuous act of revocation of the
benefit of stepping up of pay by the Bangalore,
Bhopal, Chennai & Hyderabad PAOs to the
beneficiaries of the judgment of Hon’ble Pr. CAT, Delhi in OA 2124/11 filed by
this Association. It is to submit
that almost four years back the judgment was implemented by PAOs after obtaining all the clarifications and
with due diligence. But unfortunately, the GM (PA & F) Bangalore, Bhopal, Chennai & Hyderabad PAOs reopened the cases unilaterally in utter
disregard of the judgment of Hon’ble Tribunal and in blatant violation of the
clarifications issued by PA Wing forcing huge financial burden on the employees
besides mental tension.
It is to submit that the
propositions made by the PAOs are based on wrong interpretation and the PAOs tried to mislead the Directorate. It is very
unfortunate that the individual PAOs are taking their own decisions violating
the clarifications and orders of the PA Wing even on such important matters
like implementation of Court orders. PA Wing after careful examination of the
Court judgment has given certain clarifications and directions to implement the
judgment. The judgment was implemented and to that extent affidavits were filed
in the Hon’ble Tribunal. But, after lapse of four years the present establishment of PAOs in question, overrules/set
aside the earlier decisions and ordered recovery. Such actions defy uniformity
and shake the confidence of the employees on the system itself. It would quite relevant to mention here that
PA Wing issued three letters on dated 22.11.2018, 08.02.2019 & 24.04.2019
addressed to GM (F), Hyderabad not to recover the stepped up pay from the
beneficiaries till a decision is taken at the Directorate, unfortunately
Hyderabad PAO defying the directions of PA Wing went ahead and recovered hefty
sum from three retired officials.
This general body also expresses its anguish
and resentment over delay in the finalization of Cadre restructure of Cadres of
PAO. It is brought to the notice that the proposal of Cadre restructure was
approved way back in 2012 and after concurrence of the Department was sent to
DoP&T, which in turn also approved the same and sent to MoF. In the year
2014, PA Wing gave the queries raised by the MoF to both Associations seeking
their views. This Association has submitted its considered opinion on the
queries in the year 2015, it is unfortunate that the PA Wing has not
resubmitted the file/proposal to DoP&T on the plea that the other
Association has not submitted its view point. Again vide its letter dated
05.12.2018, PA Wing asked to submit the proposal by the stakeholders within 15
days, AIPAEA again submitted its view point in Jan. 2019, but till date nothing
has moved an inch forward in this matter.
The General body
also appeal and resolve to request that in the interest of justice to cause
immediate orders to keep the recovery order under abeyance and consider the
submissions made by Association from time to time on the matter and issue firm
instructions to withdraw the recovery proceedings by GM (F), Bangalore, Bhopal,
Chennai & Hyderabad PAOs
and refund the recovered amount to the beneficiaries.
It is also
requested to finalise the Cadre restructure of Cadres of PAOs without any
further delay.
