Respected
Madam,
The
department has issued orders vide No. A- 34012/6/2011-DE dated 10-4-2012
scheduling PS Group ‘B’ examination to be held on 3rd June 2012
without notifying the number of vacancies and other pre-requisites for
conducting exam to keep these orders under the ambit of set rules. The department
is also not acting as per recruitment rules framed and notified. Madam, you
will agree that PS Group ‘B’ Recruitment Rules 1987 amended from time to time
are still in force and without amendment of these rules, the Postmaster
Recruitment Rules, 2010 can not come into force. It is understood that 116
posts earmarked for Sr. Postmaster are to be carved out from the total 866
posts of PS Group ‘B’ with no intention to create new post to bring Postmaster
Recruitment Rules, 2010 in force without amending PS Group ‘B’
Recruitment Rules.
This Association vide letter No. CHQ
/PS Gr. B/2011 dated 04.07.2011 gave a detailed proposal regarding distribution
of quota under each category to the Department for consideration and
implementation in the interest of both IP Line and General Line officials but
nothing has been done by the Department in this regard so far. Now, again the
department has notified the examination without amending Recruitment Rules that
is not in the spirit of justice. In this, regard Dte. order No. 11-15/2007-SPG
dated 7-01-2009 issued consequent upon decision of OA No. 657/HP/2007 refers.
The recently announced OA No. 399/PB/2011 has orders to promote IPs under
respective quota only.
In view of
above facts, both the examination viz PS Group “B” and Sr. Postmaster should
only be conductedas and when a vacancy arises under the respective quota
after amendment of Recruitment Rules. The ASPs/ HSG-I IP line
Postmaster should also be allowed to appear in both examination for greater
justice of the cadre that is born on the same gradation list and IP that is the
feeder cadre for further promotion for all purposes and not ASP/HSG-I which is
simply a non functional post. It is therefore requested to kindly withdraw the
notification issued to conduct the PS Group ‘’B” examination.
Yours
sincerely,
Sd/-
