IMPACT OF NON-CONVENING SUPPLEMENTARY DPC

DOP has not convened supplementary DPC for the vacancy year 2011-12. This has many cascading effect on future promotion of IP line senior most IPs. It is bound to disturb the present 75% quota meant for seniority-cum-fitness promotions of the respective year. PS Group “B” 2011-12 examination result under 25% quota will mar the legitimate right of the left out 1988 batch inspectors in  their further promotion who are awaiting their elevation for the last 24 years in IP cadre even after giving their prime career to the department for successful implementation of innovative schemes. Non-convening of supplementary DPC will also mean no effect on 23 refusal to promotion accepted by the directorate. Presently 1988 batch IPs are working on adhoc in PS Group “B” and this  act of the department will place them as subordinates of their juniors.  

Supplementary DPC is convened every year before promotion through LDCE (25% quota) but this time no action seems to has been taken by the Directorate. Under trying circumstances, department cannot blame senior members of this Association for any litigation that could arise owing to fixation of seniority for not convening supplementary DPC for the remaining vacancies of the year 2011-12. The supplementary DPC ought to have been convened before the declaration of PS Group “B” LDCE result.

There are many ambiguities arising in the IP list of the prospective PS Group “B” officers which are also need to be paid attention before convening DPC for the vacancy year 2012-13. During last year DPC some of the officials despite being eligible were not considered. It is the obligation on the part of association to raise such issue with administrative for justice and get the hassles removed.   

Punjab association is of the view that supplementary DPC for the left out vacancies of 2011-12 should be convened first and thereafter hold the regular DPC for the vacancy year 2012-13. The candidates declared successful against 25% quota should only be considered for promotion and posting after supplementary DPC. CHQ should take this point of action with department.
