MERCY APPEAL- PRAY INTERVENTION- DO JUSTICE and TO REMOVE-ANOMALY UNDER PARA-222 (c) OF IREM – I, V.Seshadri, Inspector, RPF-Grade-I of 1991 Batch got promoted and appointed to the rank of Assistant Security Commissioner, (ASC) - RPF in June, 2002 duly approved by the Ministry of Railways. I have worked continuously, without any break against clear & existing post up to 31-8-2006/till retirement. The Order made by the RPF Directorate, Railway Board however, cited the promotion as ‘AD HOC’. But for the reasons to be explained by them, they did not conducted the DPCs in the Scheduled intervals as envisaged by the Railway Board Orders/Notifications; and of the DoP&T; not even followed the IREM Rules framed on the continuation of the AD HOC postings beyond one year; also made a deaf ear on the Orders/Directions of the Honorable Supreme Court, the Hon’ble High Courts delivered in different Writ Petitions filed by RPF officers etc. RPF Directorate, the Railway Board also not adhered to the Notifications and gone against the principles contained in the Standing Orders issued Vide D o & P T- OM No:22011/4/98-Estt(D) dt. 12-10-1998, thereby they have wantonly ignored to include my name in the Panel lists- for the vacancies arises for the years from 2002-2006, later declared in 2009, by which time(2002-2006), I was working as ASC, not retired then.I am ASC appointee of 2002, and hail from 1991 Inspector-Grade-I Batch, but by dropping my name brought out my juniors names in the Regularisation Panel, got approval of the President of India, and then promoted them to the rank of DSC duly throwing me down to earth on the ground that I have retired . This type of colluded methodology followed even from the year 1991 onwards up to 2010 against the departmental AD HOC ASCs/RPF, made them to retire, and /or conducted DPCs at their choice date and convenience year only to regularise the juniors and then promote them to the rank of DSCs to next higher scale. This can be got verified from the number of DPCs held for the years from 1990 to 2010, the Year wise Panel Lists made out, by getting the total  names of year wise ASCs/RPF worked for 1990-2010; also to see if the names of the retired ad hoc ASCs were included or not. This Petition is filed for mercy consideration at least to have financial Pension benefits to me and to the retired RPF/ASCs and their family Pensioners/members. This ANOMALY ARISED ONLY DUE TO dropping their names from the PANEL lists by holding belated held DPCs in RPF; they indulged in Violation of Constitutional FR, Human Rights; Hon’ble Supreme Court, Different High Court’s Orders, Judgments, Directions issued to RPF Directorate, Railway Board, time and again, for holding time schedule DPCs, to regularize the AD HOC ASCs, but they did not obeyed the same. They side lined these Orders/Directions, and other Notifications of the DoP&T, Ministry of Pensions, PG&PW, UPSC, Railways issued under IREM, in regard to AD HOC promotions and appointment in Group ’A’ Cadre Posts in RPF etc. RPF Directorate and the Railway Board continued atrocities and irregularities, mischief acts against ASCs and in departmental promotions to the rank of DSCs. My Representation/Petition pending since years, even without acknowledgement - Pray intervention and do justice.

CHAPTER II: SECTION 'A': RULES GOVERNING PROMOTION OF SUBORDINATE STAFF: PROMOTION OF GROUP 'B' POSTS: When these Rules are so strict in regard to the Group’B’Cadre Posts, can there be any sidetracking these Rules by the RPF in case of Group’A’ Cadre posts’ in regard to departmental promotions and appointment in the Cadre of ASCs/RPF. Kingly clarify in respect of the following Rules to be adopted by the RPF in sticto sense as per RPF Rules, 1987, Rule: 117.
216.    In regard to selection posts, it is essential that all the selections are conducted annually in a regular manner. However, where holding of the next selection becomes necessary before a gap of one year on account of the panel getting exhausted, the earlier selection not throwing up adequate number for empanelment/promotion, etc., the same may be held after a minimum time gap of six months from the date of approval of the panel finalised as a result of the first selection.  This condition of six months restriction between selections will not, however, apply to general selections which are conducted by calling options from serving employees fulfilling the prescribed eligibility conditions.(Authority:-Railway Boards letters No.  E (NG)I/94/PM1/10 dated 4.7.97 and 9.12.98) 
 216. A.  Ad hoc Promotions:-  (1) Selection/Suitability tests/trade tests should be conducted timely as per provisions in this Manual so as to obviate the need for making ad hoc promotions which should be avoided both in selection and non-selection posts.  However, whenever ad hoc promotions are found inescapable in selection posts in the exigency of service, the same should be ordered only from amongst the senior-most eligible staff strictly in accordance with the existing guidelines.  As a rule, a junior should not be promoted, ignoring his senior unless the competent authority ordering the ad hoc promotion, considers him unsuitable.  In any case no second ad hoc promotion should be allowed under any circumstances.  
(2)The following further guidelines should be adhered to while considering ad hoc promotions:-
(a)  Ad hoc promotion in non-selection posts:-   In the case of non-selection posts including posts filled on the basis of trade tests, the vacancies shall be filled after following the prescribed procedure quickly.  There shall thus be no ad hoc promotions in non-selection posts.
(b) Ad hoc promotion in selection posts:-(i) Ad hoc promotions may be made in leave vacancies and short duration vacancies upto 4 months beyond which period the FA &CAO should not draw the pay of concerned employee unless the Chief Personnel Officer has personally approved the continuance.
(ii)      Normally no ad hoc promotion should be made against regular vacancies.  If it becomes inescapable to make ad hoc promotion against regular vacancies warranted by such circumstances as Courts orders etc. such promotion should be allowed only with the prior personal approval of the Chief Personnel Officer who should satisfy himself with the reasons for non-finalisation of the selection before according his sanction.  In any case such arrangements should not be allowed to last over six months save in exceptional circumstances like where  a panel cannot be formed because of stay orders from Courts etc.  The Chief Personnel Officer should keep record of having accorded approval to such ad hoc promotion or continuation thereof and review the progress made in filling up these posts by selected persons every month.  He should also review the position of selections to all posts whether such posts are controlled at Zonal, Divisional or Extra-Divisional level.Notification for ad hoc promotion against the selection posts should specifically include a remark to the effect that the person concerned has not been selected for promotion on regular basis and that his promotion is on ad hoc basis and does not give him any right of holding the post for regular promotion. (Railway Boards letters No. E(NG)I/94/PM1/10 dated 9.12.98 & 19.02.99).

My representations sent on 30-06-2011. 1. In the year 2002, I am one of the Inspector- promoted and appointed to the rank of ASC/RPF, Group ’A’ Cadre Post, against a clear, non-fortuitous, existing vacancy after following all due formalities laid down in the RPF GO’s Recruitment and Promotion Rules, 1994 and other Railway Establishment Rules pertaining to ad-hoc promotions, and with the approval of the Ministry of Railways. There is no Group ’B’ Cadre Post in the Railway Protection Force; (abolished in 1982). In accordance with the laid down RPF Act, RPF Rules, RPF (Group ‘A’ posts…) Recruitment Rules, 1994.
2.To regularize departmentally promoted and appointed Ad-hoc ASCs in Group ‘A’ Cadre Posts and to consider them for next promotion to the rank the DSCs only three DPCs for the vacancy position of ASCs for the years from 1994 to 2008 found to have been held. But ironically, the names of the ASCs who were holding the posts of ASCs on the dates of actual vacancies, their names were dropped from the Panel lists on the ground that they were retired, and incorporating the juniors’ names in their place in the Panel Lists. By this unilateral decision of the RPF/Administrators found to be against the Principles of Natural Justice and against the Orders issued by DoPT of the GOI, barred the senior most ASCs to retire without confirmation and pension fixation in higher scale.3.Ad-hoc promotions in RPF were made on the point that the Administration did not, for the reasons best known to them could not conduct the DPCs in time Schedule. This system continued for several years.4.On administrative account and interest, direct ASCs with three years service were promoted to the rank of DSCs who were later regularized as DSCs, by making a provision to reduce the stipulated period of five years to that of three years.5.They have bye-passed and sidetracked all the Rules, Orders, D o P  T, UPSC, Railways, Notifications, Directions, the Laws, including the Hon’ble Supreme Court’s Orders, and of other Hon’ble High Court’s Orders/Judgments in the matter of regularization of ad-hoc ASCs in RPF, as explained in my earlier letters.
6.In contrary to the Standing Orders issued Vide D o  PT- OM o:22011/4/98-Estt(D) dated 12-10-1998, they have wantonly ignored to include my name in the Panel lists-later declared in 2009 for the vacancies arises for the years from 2002-2006, by which time I was working as ASC, not retired then.7.In terms of D o PT OM No. 35035/7/97-Estt(D) date 16-02-2005 , 08-02-2002; OM No.22011/9/98-Estt. (D) Dated 08-9-1998, and other orders on the matter, the decision of the Government was reiterated not to permit suppressions in promotions; to amend the Service/Recruitment Rules so as to appropriately incorporate the mode of promotions and to submit ‘Status Report’ by 31-5-2005, which , it seems not  done by the RPF administration for the reasons best known to them. This may be with a view to oppress and suppress the departmental ASCs to continue as ad hoc and the direct ASCs get higher promotions from third year onwards and, now, go up to the rank of IGs. The delaying like deadpan tactics found to have been adopted by the RPF Administration only to suppress departmental senior ASCs to the maximum possible extent, and when pressurized to hold DPCs at a later stage, cover up their wanton exercise and give berth to juniors, of their choice. Under the above circumstances, I pray that the seniority and eligibility criteria of ADHOC ASCs be made retrospective from the date of my adhoc promotion (May, 2002) as was done and implemented for others and to include my name in Panel List for 2002-2006 vacancies, by applying next below rule, or by creating extra/additional Posts/Supernumerary posts to bring my name above to my junior ASCs/RPF (regularized and promoted as DSCs) as I have also completed more than three years of service like that of my Juniors, for which act of kindness we shall be ever grateful and oblige.

ASC ADHOC MATTER:
Your Registration Number is : MORLY/E/2012/03392 :

MERCY APPEAL- PRAY INTERVENTION- DO JUSTICE and TO REMOVE-ANOMALY UNDER PARA-222 (c) OF IREM – I, V.Seshadri, Inspector, RPF-Grade-I of 1991 Batch got promoted and appointed to the rank of Assistant Security Commissioner, (ASC) - RPF in June, 2002 duly approved by the Ministry of Railways. I have worked continuously, without any break against clear & existing post up to 31-8-2006/till retirement. The Order made by the RPF Directorate, Railway Board however, cited the promotion as ‘AD HOC’. But for the reasons to be explained by them, they did not conducted the DPCs in the Scheduled intervals as envisaged by the Railway Board Orders/Notifications; and of the DoP&T; not even followed the IREM Rules framed on the continuation of the AD HOC postings beyond one year; also made a deaf ear on the Orders/Directions of the Honorable Supreme Court, the Hon’ble High Courts delivered in different Writ Petitions filed by RPF officers etc. RPF Directorate, the Railway Board also not adhered to the Notifications and gone against the principles contained in the Standing Orders issued Vide D o & P T- OM No:22011/4/98-Estt(D) dt. 12-10-1998, thereby they have wantonly ignored to include my name in the Panel lists- for the vacancies arises for the years from 2002-2006, later declared in 2009, by which time(2002-2006), I was working as ASC, not retired then.I am ASC appointee of 2002, and hail from 1991 Inspector-Grade-I Batch, but by dropping my name brought out my juniors names in the Regularisation Panel, got approval of the President of India, and then promoted them to the rank of DSC duly throwing me down to earth on the ground that I have retired . This type of colluded methodology followed even from the year 1991 onwards up to 2010 against the departmental AD HOC ASCs/RPF, made them to retire, and /or conducted DPCs at their choice date and convenience year only to regularise the juniors and then promote them to the rank of DSCs to next higher scale. This can be got verified from the number of DPCs held for the years from 1990 to 2010, the Year wise Panel Lists made out, by getting the total  names of year wise ASCs/RPF worked for 1990-2010; also to see if the names of the retired ad hoc ASCs were included or not. This Petition is filed for mercy consideration at least to have financial Pension benefits to me and to the retired RPF/ASCs and their family Pensioners/members. This ANOMALY ARISED ONLY DUE TO dropping their names from the PANEL lists by holding belated held DPCs in RPF; they indulged in Violation of Constitutional FR, Human Rights; Hon’ble Supreme Court, Different High Court’s Orders, Judgments, Directions issued to RPF Directorate, Railway Board, time and again, for holding time schedule DPCs, to regularize the AD HOC ASCs, but they did not obeyed the same. They side lined these Orders/Directions, and other Notifications of the DoP&T, Ministry of Pensions, PG&PW, UPSC, Railways issued under IREM, in regard to AD HOC promotions and appointment in Group ’A’ Cadre Posts in RPF etc. RPF Directorate and the Railway Board continued atrocities and irregularities, mischief acts against ASCs and in departmental promotions to the rank of DSCs. My Representation/Petition pending since years, even without acknowledgement - Pray intervention and do justice.

The Director General, RPF,Railway Protection Force,Ministry of Railways,Railway Board, Rail Bhavan,New Delhi-110001 
           Sub: Representation of V.Seshaddri, ASC/RPF/Rtd.- Anomaly / not holding     
regular DPCs in time schedule and deprival of due promotion-reg.
<><><><><> 

A copy of the representation of the above named dated 12-12-2011 along with its enclosures is sent herein for favor of perusal and be redressed at the earliest. It is observed from the letter of Sri. V.Seshadri, ASC/RPF/Rtd that:
1.         In the RPF Department—departmental Inspectors/RPF on promotion to the rank of Asst. Security Commissioner/RPF in a clear, existing, and sanctioned posts are made to work without confirmation/regularization for several years as ad-hoc ASCs- thereby the opportunity of getting the promotional chances at par with that of the direct ASCs /RPF appointed through UPSC, is barred and denied to them on the ground of adhoc posting working as Asst. Security Commissioners/RPF;
2.         The direct ASCs are getting next higher grade/scale promotion as Security Commissioner/RPF immediately on completion of THREE years of service, while the same facility is not granted/extended to the departmental ASCs on the ground that they have not been regularized through the DPCs, and hence they are not eligible to be considered for next higher grade/Scale promotion/rank as Security Commissioners/RPF;
3.         Conducting of the DPCs eventually rests with the Administration /RPF/Railway Board, and not following the Railway Esst.Rules, the Law, UPSC, DoP&T, Pay Commission Recommendations, and  about conducting of the DPCs in time-schedule, and adhering to that of the Judgments/Orders/Directions/Observations of the Honorable Supreme Court of India in several WPs; and that of the different Honorable High Courts, etc, and thereby by not holding the DPCs as stipulated in time Schedule framed by the Government by the RPF Directorate, has eventually hampered the promotional chances of the ADHOC/ Departmental ASCs;
4.         Finding fault with the departmental promote ASCs that they could not be considered for promotion to the rank of Security Commissioner/RPF and side lining their delays/administrative lapses has paved the way for application of differential equations and favourtism towards one section of officers and thereby dishonoured the GOI, and that of the Hon’ble SC/and that of different H.Cs Judgements/Orders/Notifications,etc,which eventually made the departmental promote ASCs to suffer with loss of promotion and finally retire without regularization which hampered their financial benefits at par with that of their juniors, and loss in pension fixation;
5.         The sufferers/adhoc ASCs who have completed the service as ASC/RPF continuously for three years and above ( suffered/suffering) and retired without such promotion even serving from three years and above be considered at par with that of their Juniors, promoted to the rank of Security Commissioner/RPF with Pension Fixation benefits, and render justice in the matter;
6.              Some of the ASCs/RPF who were promoted as adhoc ASCs after him, after 2002 were also considered and promoted to the rank of DSCs/RPF immediately on declaring the DPC in 2009. This Anomaly found to be but for the undue delay holding and declaring the DPCs in the years-2002-2006- for the clear vacancies arose by which time he was already holding and working as ASC/RPF. His name has been dropped from the Panel Lists for the years from 2002-2006 on the ground that he retired from service. Due to the administration/RPF delay he lost his promotion and financial benefit in pension fixation etc.

The matter may be looked into afresh and justice may please be rendered in getting financial benefit and in Pension fixation, etc.

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,

(Y.N.SASTRY)President
