Subject: Regarding non
maintaining uniformity by Circles in making Adhoc Promotion of ASPs to PS Gr. B Cadre.
Respected
Madam,
The IP/ASP Association once again intends to bring
to your kind notice how circles are resorting to ad-hoc arrangement in total
disregard to the statutory provisions on the subject as well as proper manpower
management and career advancement of the employees. As explained in DOP&T’s O.M.
No.28036/8/87-Estt.(D) dated 30.03.1988 read with O.M. No.28036/1/2001-Estt.(D)
dated 23.07.2001, promotions/ appointments on ad-hoc basis are to be
resorted to a post which cannot be kept vacant in consideration of its
functional/operational requirement. In
our Department, posts of PS Group ‘B’ are of such a nature that these cannot be
kept vacant in the larger interest of department and public as well.
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. As a rule,
a junior should not be promoted,
ignoring his senior unless the competent
authority ordering the ad-hoc promotion,
considers him unsuitable. Few
circles are over sighting these rules while making ad-hoc promotions.
This Association therefore requested your honour to kindly issue strict instructions
to all the circles to fill short term vacancies of PS Gr. B cadre on ad-hoc
basis according to the guidelines issued by DOP&T and as per the
inter-se-seniority cum fitness and convene timely DPC for promotion to the
cadre of PS Gr. B for the vacancy year 2015-16 with correct vacancies for career advancement of the
employees and to avoid ad-hoc arrangements that is otherwise also creating
ambiguities.
With profound regards,
Yours sincerely,
Sd/-
