CONTRASTING PRINCPLES OF DOPT - ISSUES ANOTHER OM ON SC JUDGEMENT IN PARMAR CASE


Click here to download/view the DOPT's OM dated 4-3-2014.

Again the DOPT is withdrawing the OM issued in 2008 on interse seniority and resorting to 1986 OMs. On one side  it is contemplating the SC's Judgement and reiterating the true meaning of the 1986 OM in the same lines interpreted by the SC, but on the other side it is ruling this could be effective only from Nov 2012 i.e. date of Judgement. One could wonder, how a OM issued in 1986 is effective only from Nov 2012.  Also, it is stating that the for the people for whom the matter is settled in the lines of 1986 OM/SC Judgement, can not be reopened.
What do you call this standard of the DOPT?
Can an OM issued some 30 years ago can be implemented prospectively from 2012 only ?
God only knows.

CR AND TG ON THE SAME LINES



The Chair Person of UPA has made it in her final session of Parliament and made it memorable and 'valuable' TELANGANA.
Here our Chair Person also seemed followed her. Our CP has demited her office today after clearing so many files. The files which are cleared already in the past, were disclosed only today.
Yes, it is official. She revealed so many things in her singning off message.
The message is too long and it is 11 pages long. She lined up all the tasks completed by her 9 months regime including Cadre Restructure.
For your comfortness, here I am reproducing the portion about the CR.
So friends, after the approval of the FM, the notification is expected in the 1st half of March and the next implementation process starts.
All the BEST.


SKEPTICAL DA MERGER NEWS..MERGING IS PART OF TERMS & REFERENCE

Whether the Cabinet has approved the DA merger of Central Government employees today's meeting ?
This is million doller question.
The actual story behind the DA merger is like this..
It is stated by the prominent news paper (Business Standard)'s web site, that the Cabinet has approved the DA merger and this news posted it its site at 2.14 pm. It spread like wildfire in all the Central Government employees sites and blogs. By 4.00 pm there was confusion among most of the employees. But at 4.15 pm the official website of Press Information Bureau, stated that "DA of additional 10% has been approved" and "Terms and Reference of VII Pay Commission" have approved by the Cabinet.
So, friends, it is evident that the 50 percent DA merger decision is not yet taken by the Cabinet.

BUT IT IS CLEAR THAT THE CABINET HAS DECIDED THAT MERGING OF 50% DA IS PART OF TERMS OF REFERENCE. 

Technically looking, there is mention of DA merger in VI PRC report. So it constituted the VII PRC and handed over the matter to it. It indicates that UPA-II Govt only will see it been recommended by the VII PRC's interim report, before the Election takes place, and announces it.
