Subject : Limited Departmental Competitive Examination for promotion to the cadre of PS Gr. B for the year 2012. Regarding transparency in communication of marks.
Ref.     : Postal Directorate memo No. A-34012/3/2012-DE dated 17th July, 2012.
Respected Madam,

            It is brought to your kind notice that result of above captioned examination was declared by the Department vide No. A-34013/03/2012-DE dated 17th July, 2012 but no separate marks for paragraph writing were shown in the tabulation sheet whereas it was mentioned earlier while declaring result of PS Gr. B Examination 2011 vide memo No. A-34012/01/2011-DE dated 23rd June 2011. Due to unclear position, it is difficult to identify the weak areas and strong areas, thus, there is great resentment amongst the aspirants on this account. It is also an admitted fact that PS Group “B” recruitment process has always been in controversy inviting litigations and repeated references by this associations. But unfortunately department has chosen its ways and convenient means to declare results without affording equal opportunities to members and without waiting the outcomes of Hon’ble administrative Tribunal. Pick and chose policy in the name of examination through this system cannot be ruled out as such this association has reservations over the examination system.

            This Association would also like to further state that, answer keys published by Department for certain questions do not have proper and correct answers. Apart from it, a few questions were repeatedly put in the same question paper. The irregularity is a matter of serious concern and necessarily required to look into.

            It is therefore urged that necessary instructions may please be issued to DE Division of the Directorate to publish separate marks obtained in paragraph writing in Paper-I to maintain transparency in communication of marks. It is further requested to take steps to delete the wrong questions from the question papers and declare the result of above captioned examination accordingly to avoid litigations if any arising in the context.

            Hoping for favourable action please.

Yours sincerely,

(Vilas Ingale)

Letter-II

No. GS/AIAIASP/PS Gr. B/2012                                        dated 25th October, 2012

Subject:Request to accommodate the surplus qualified IPs of Tamilnadu Circle working outside the Circle in the Home Circle-reg.
Respected Madam,

          This is regarding re-allotment of the surplus qualified Tamilnadu Circle IPs working in other circles. As per the scheme 45 IPs from Tamilnadu Circle were allotted to other circles. Conveniently 9 IPs have already been re-allotted to Tamilnadu Circle whereas remaining 36 IPs are still working in other circles, far from their families having language and other similar placed problems. It is noteworthy to mention that the candidates who have qualified in the subsequent year under the surplus candidates have been allotted to the same circle in many parts of the country, but those candidates allotted to various other circles during 2010 are denied to revert back to their parent circle.

            Even though the scheme of surplus qualified candidates of IP examination has been discontinued from 2011 vide Directorate letter No. A-34020/01/2007-DE dated 21/7/2011, the sufferings of surplus IPs of Tamilnadu Circle is still continuing and affecting the most.         

            This Association would like to bring to your kind notice that, at present 45 IP posts are vacant in Tamilnadu Circle. Many a Postal Sub Divisions are vacant and managed by additional charge. The existing IPs in Tamilnadu circle have already been over burdened and holding the additional charge of neighbouring Sub Divisions since years together would put them under more stress and pain.

            In view of above submissions your kind honour is requested to issue necessary instructions to all Circles particularly Tamilnadu Circle to consider transfers of IPs under Rule 38 to their parent circle, as circles have sufficient vacancies to adjust IP cadre officials.

A line in reply is requested.

Yours sincerely,

(Vilas Ingale)

General Secretary
