extreme preferential treatment to the staff
members of FNPO & intense
partiality shown in APAR violating rules and regulations-rdg.
partiality shown in APAR violating rules and regulations-rdg.
Sir,
A reference is invited to the subject
pertaining to the following issues discussed many times.
Stop forth with all sort of discrimination & favouritism
!
1. There is extreme sweeping
discrimination in granting numerical gradation in the APAR of employees. The
APAR preparation has been made use to revenge on our staff members at the will
and pleasure of SPOs. The effort exerted to run and manage the office and
update all CBS prerequisites in the time of acute shortage of staff for the
last months has been wilfully ignored by the administration.
(i)
Whereas
staff members of our union has been harassed & suffered SPOs revenge on
them; maximum gradation has been granted to the dear and near who are the staff
members of FNPO, violating all sort of rules and regulations in the matter.
(ii)
APAR
has been written to a staff member of FNPO who was on ML from 2012 December to
2013 September with higher grading. This has done without monitoring and
supervising the work and character of the official. This is against the general
principles and rules of APAR. This is enough to expose the intense partiality
of SPOs.
(iii)
The
rule says that the officer concerned should abstain from writing the Report on
the Government servant who is his close relative. But here one PA at Adur HPO revealed to her
colleagues that SPOs is a close relative of her. SPOs had written her APAR
without observing the rule concerned.
(iv)
The
general principle and rules says that APAR must not be used as a tool to
control or discipline the staff. But here APAR has been clearly used as a tool
to harass one of our union member and given her very low grading and noted a
remark that inquiry case is pending. (case of Smt. Shylaja Kumary K, SPM,
Mannady) No charge sheet has been issued till this time; no charge has been
decided against her till now. And the remarkable business achievement she had
attained also ignored.
The rule says that the Superior
officer should write the Annual Performance Assessment Report (APAR) of every
one of his subordinate in an objective and impartial manner. SPOs have violated this instruction
purposefully to appease his dear and near ones and to satisfy his revenge on
others.
2. At
present the Cycle Advance has been disbursed with vested interest to those who
are not entrusted with outdoor duties. Thereby the same is denied to the
genuinely deserving applicants and GDS who are entrusted with outdoor duty. This is clear instance of attitude of
Divisional administration towards its employees. More funds for Cycle Advance
may be requested from C O and the same may be disbursed to the actually deserving
employees without fail.
3. DG Posts
instruction is there to review the work load and enhance the allowance if found
justified in the cases of BPMs who requests after earned a higher business
& transaction at their own office. On the basis of this instruction many
BPMs belong to our union has been represented for a review of work load, and
the issue had been taken for discussion in monthly meetings. But though months
had elapsed there is no result. All such cases may be reviewed and allowances
may be enhanced immediately before causing much loss to them.
4. The
relief of one of the Official transferred in c/w the Rotational Transfer has
been delayed purposefully and later he was relieved from the post under the
written instruction of SPOs, but he does not joined to the transferred station
and post. After two three days he was permitted to join again in the same post
from which he was got transferred out. This is highly irregular. But the whole
drama enacted at Adur HPO was in connivance with SPOs. In this case also the
rules and instructions has been twisted and misinterpreted according to the
requirement of SPOs intense preferential treatment. The irregularity may be
rectified and the official may be ordered to join at his new post and station.
5. In recommending for NOC, for going abroad to
stay with relatives SPOs glaringly exhibits his preferential treatment. In the
case of Smt. Arathy PA, PTAHPO, on inquiry at CO, received the reply that her
request has not received there till now.
This much delay has not been found in any such previous cases. The
discrimination in this case may be stopped, and her request may be forwarded
with proper recommendation without making further loss to the official.
All the above cases are only few instances for
the general attitude of SPOs in dealing with issues of staff and are the
glaring examples for twisting, misinterpreting, violating the rules for his own
vested interests. All the above cases may be settled in favour of officials.
We
demands the glaring preferential attitude of SPOs may be stopped forth with.
If this attitude of preferential treatment is not ended
and the issues mentioned are not solved around a table, this federation has
decided to go with relay-dharna for fifteen days from the first week of 2013
November and closed down strike following to it. If the conducive atmosphere
prevailing in the division disrupts, divisional administration will be
responsible for it. Yours faithfully,
