GS writes to Secretary Posts on convening of DPCs for promotion to PS Gr 'B'. The text of the letter is reproduced for the information of members.

No. CHQ/IPASP/DPC/2012                                             Dated :        25/7/2012.

 

 

To,

Smt. Manjula Prasher,

Director General,

Department of Posts,

Dak Bhavan, New Delhi 110 001.

 

 

          Sub:     Convening of regular DPC for promotion to PS Group ‘B’.

 

 

Respected Madam,

 

 

Kindly refer to this Associations letter of even number dated 7/5/2012 regarding convening of regular and supplementary DPC for the promotion to PS Gr. B cadre.  

 

 

There are set rules and procedure to convene DPCs at regular intervals to draw up panels which could be utilized for effecting promotions/against vacancies occurring during the course of a given year. As such, department should by now initiate action to fill up the existing as well as anticipated vacancies in the respective quota as per the instructions contained in DOP&T OM No. 22011/5/86-Estt.D dated 10/4/1986. By not adhering to the standing instructions of DOPT, the department is unnecessarily dragging the members of the Association into litigation.  

 

 

It is pertinent to mention here that there remain 22 to 23 vacancies from the last DPC under 75% quota for the vacancy year 2011, so supplementary DPC for the vacancy year 2011 was required to be conducted as it is done every year before any promotion through LDCE (25% quota). But contrary to this, the department has declared the result of LDCE for PS Group “B” that too in a haste ignoring the right of Senior ASPs waiting their elevation for the last 23 to 24 years. Now, the department cannot blame members of the Association for any litigation that could arise owing to fixation of seniority for not convening supplementary DPC for the vacancies year 2011.

 

 

It is therefore once again requested that suitable orders may kindly be passed to put in place immediately for calling ACRs/APARs of eligible officers for holding DPC for the left out vacancies for the year 2011, and also for vacancy year 2012.

 

 

A positive action will be highly appreciated.

            

With regards,

  Yours sincerely,
