VERY IMPORTANT
Hon’ble CAT, Cuttack Bench ( O A No.
1196 of 2004 and O A No. 1213 to 1221 of
2004 ) uphold the order of Hon’ble CAT, Madras Bench (O A No. 679 of 2003)
Postal Directorate directs Chief
PMG, Odisha Circle for implementation vide its letter
No. 93-13/2012-SPB-II, dated 23rd January, 2015
Odisha Circle implemented the
order vide its Memo No. ST/26-15/2013, dated 04.02.2015
Dear Comrades,
The Hon’ble
CAT, Madras Bench in its order dated 19.03.2004 passed in O A No. 679 of 2003 (K
Perumal and M Ramamswamy vrs. D G, Department of Posts and Other) observed,
“.... action of the respondents is totally illegal and is incorrect. They
cannot change the nomenclature, viz. ‘promotions’ made already to that of
‘financial up-gradations’ and deny the consequential benefits ....... In the matters relating to seniority, settled
issues should not be disturbed/disorted after a long laps of time ..... the
contention of the respondents that the
promotions given earlier are to be
construed only as financial up-gradations in our considered view cannot be
accepted as the same is unreasonable and
such an argument goes against the letter and spirit of the communications
issued by the respondents themselves......”
The Hon’ble
CAT, Cuttack Bench in its order dated 23.07.2008 passed in O A No. 1196 of 2004 and O A No. 1213 to 1221 of 2004 filed by
Brahmananda Lenka and others directed the respondents to consider the case of
the Applicants within a period of 90
days for grant of consequential benefits
with promotion to next higher grade, namely HSG-II and HSG-I in the
light of the decision of the Madras Bench of the tribunal which has been
confirmed by the Hon’ble High Court of Madras.
The Order
dated 23.07.2008 of Hon’ble CAT, Cuttack was subsequently upheld by the Hon’ble
High Court of Odisha vide its Order dated 17.01.2012 which was examined by the
Department in consultation with the
Department of Personnel & Training
and Department of Legal Affairs, Ministry of Law and Justice and finally
it has been decided to implement the same in respect of the applicants of the
above O A only.
Subsequently,
the Postal Directorate, vide its letter No. 93-13/2012-SPB-II, dated 23rd
January, 2015 directed the Chief Postmaster General, Odisha Circle to implement
the above CAT’s order as specific to the applicants of the O A.

We are trying
to collect the copies of the Directorate’s and other letters through RTI and obtaining
legal advice for giving justice to thousands of such employees all over India deprived from
LSG/HSG-II/HSG-I promotions. All the Comrades are requested to extend their
cooperation in this regard.
We do also
appeal our CHQ to collect the above Directorate’s order and find out ways and
means to render justice to all.
