GDS Current Status & Applicability of Articles 309 & 311 of Constitution of India.

Date : 17.11.2017

GDS Current Status & Applicability of Articles  309 & 311 of Constitution of India.




Article 309 & 311 both are related to Central Government employees.


In the above said para 8.17, Article 309 not covered to GDS.


In the above said para 8.18 , Article 311 applicable to GDS.


GDS Conduct & Engagement Rules ,2011 were not framed under Article 309 of the Constitution of India but under *executive powers of Central Government* after approval of the recommendations of the Nataraja Murthy Committee report.Thus these rules are also non statutory in nature.


According to Dept.of Posts and Government of India , One Article supports GDS (311) i.e.Statutory 


Second Article (309) not supported to GDS i.e non statutory ( which was framed by the Dept.only).


Why Department of Posts adopt that Rule in 2011?

Why they are not interested to amend or withdrawn the executive resolution ?

Is there any mercy on GDS by Directorate?

Past is past. At present RICT & IPPB roll out started.


At this juncture, Directorate must mandatatorily convince the Govt.of India and do favour to 2,70,000 GDS and their families.

If Department & Govt.of India withdrawn their executive resolution reg.GDS Conduct & Engagement Rules ,2011 on GDS employees , then 


All the GDS will automatically convert in to Central Government Employees with the applicability of Article 309 of Constitution of India.
