letter No. 93-13/2012-SPB-II, dated 23rdJanuary, 2015

Dear Comrades,
The Hon’ble CAT, Madras
Bench in its order dated 19.03.2004 passed in O A No. 679 of 2003 (K Perumal
and M Ramamswamy vrs. D G, Department of Posts and Other) observed, “....
action of the respondents is totally illegal and is incorrect. They cannot
change the nomenclature, viz. ‘promotions’ made already to that of ‘financial
up-gradations’ and deny the consequential benefits ....... In the
matters relating to seniority, settled issues should not be disturbed/disorted
after a long laps of time ..... the contention of the respondents that
the promotions given earlier are to be construed only as
financial up-gradations in our considered view cannot be
accepted as the same is unreasonable and such an argument goes
against the letter and spirit of the communications issued by the respondents
themselves......”
The Hon’ble CAT, Cuttack
Bench in its order dated 23.07.2008 passed in O A No. 1196 of 2004
and O A No. 1213 to 1221 of 2004 filed by Brahmananda Lenka and others directed
the respondents to consider the case of the Applicants within a
period of 90 days for grant of consequential benefits with promotion to
next higher grade, namely HSG-II and HSG-I in the light of the decision of the
Madras Bench of the tribunal which has been confirmed by the Hon’ble High Court
of Madras.
The Order dated
23.07.2008 of Hon’ble CAT, Cuttack was subsequently upheld by the Hon’ble High
Court of Odisha vide its Order dated 17.01.2012 which was examined by the
Department in consultation with the Department of Personnel &
Training and Department of Legal Affairs, Ministry of Law and
Justice and finally it has been decided to implement the same in respect of the
applicants of the above O A only.
Subsequently, the Postal
Directorate, vide its letter No. 93-13/2012-SPB-II, dated 23rd January,
2015 directed the Chief Postmaster General, Odisha Circle to implement the
above CAT’s order as specific to the applicants of the O A.

We are trying to collect the
copies of the Directorate’s and other letters through RTI and obtaining legal
advice for giving justice to thousands of such employees all over
India deprived from LSG/HSG-II/HSG-I promotions. All the Comrades are requested
to extend their cooperation in this regard.
We do also appeal our CHQ

justice to all.
