Directorate memo No. A-34012/3/2011-DE dated
10th April,
2012
Respected
Madam,
Your
kind attention is invited to this Association’s letters of even number dated
3/5/2012 and 19th May, 2012 on the above mentioned subject.
This
Association has already informed Directorate that many Circles have not allowed
our members to fill the OMR sheet on the ground that training period spent
before induction in IP cadre is not to be reckoned as qualifying service. The
second reason being adverse entry like ‘warning’, ‘reprimand’ emerged in last 5
ears’ ACR/APAR, though otherwise their grading in APAR remains between 6-8(very
good).
Since both the reasons of the department are unfounded and against the rules in vogue thereby giving way to litigations. In view of such acts, few members of this Association have knocked the doors of Courts for relief and as such got relief. Hon’ble CAT Ernakulam Bench OA No. 380/2012 and 232/2012 filed at Bangalore CAT bench may kindly be referred to. It is apparent that, other eligible and analogous IPs/ASPs who are not allowed on the above grounds have approached Directorate through different representations to allow them to appear in the examination. Their representations are still pending for decision and as such, the circles will not be in a position to allow them to fill OMR sheets. Not allowing all eligible even those who have not approached the court will be against the natural justice and infringement to article 14 & 16 of the Constitution. It will also be discrimination to other eligible similar situated candidates who are not party to the OA.
In view of
the above, your kind honour is once again requested to arrange for
withdrawal of the notification issued to conduct the PS Gr. “B” examination
scheduled to be held on 3rd June 2012 and hold the said
examination only after the revision of Recruitment Rules and other
prerequisites such as qualifying service and grading etc.
Favourable
action is solicited.
Yours
sincerely,
