  2. Judgement in Rajpal case was pronounced by Hon'ble CAT Principal Bench. There will not two opinion that this is a precedent. The DOPT's decision is certainly against the jurisrudence of law.

    ReplyDelete
  3. From reply of DOPT, it is evident that DOPT is knowing delaying to amend their order on MACP scheme on promotional hierarchy. Also DOPT had used deceiving tactics to deprive of legitimate dues to lower grade employees which is against good ethic. The decision of DOPT is always demoralising the LDC/UDC cadre.

  5. Aabha Mishra is daughter of one Central Govt. Pensioner- (known as Vinod Kumar Mishra)- This pensioner is also in try to solve his less pension amount due to non-grant of 3rd MACP and Special Pay etc. His immediate junior Shri L.K.Mathur is getting Higher Pension Amount due to such discrepancies...But Ministry of Defence is not (even) receiving his grievances on the grounds of "this and that"....

  6. The stand taken by DoPT is unlawful and cannot stand trial in a court of law. It cannot arbitrarily grant MACP to one and deny to the other government servant in similar circumstances. If it is so desired by DoPT, we will en mass challange the illegal arbitrary decision by DoPT. We should seek fixing of responsibility in the matter and punitive measures against the concerned.

    1. From this is understood that those who are sufferer in MACP, will knock the door of the court for justice and will get MACP on promotional hierarchy.

  7. Ministry of DoP&T is working as anti lower class employees and the same is very clear in VI CPC by recommending different GP than the lower class. The members of VI CPC Committee were rewarded as they had proposed worst CPC for lower class and best for upper class.

  10. Govt. employees are facing MACP related common problem. For matters of general nature Para 126.5 of 5th Central Pay Commission reads as under:

    Extending judicial decisions in matters of a general nature to all similarly placed employees. - We have observed that frequently, in cases of service litigation involving many similarly placed employees, the benefit of judgement is only extended to those employees who had agitated the matter before the Tribunal/Court. This generates a lot of needless litigation. It also runs contrary to the judgment given by the Full Bench of Central Administrative Tribunal, Bangalore in the case of C.S. Elias Ahmed and others v. UOI & others (O.A. Nos. 451 and 541 of 1991), wherein it was held that the entire class of employees who are similarly situated are required to be given the benefit of the decision whether or not they were parties to the original writ. Incidentally, this principle has been upheld by the Supreme Court in this case as well as in numerous other judgments like G.C. Ghosh v. UOI, [ (1992) 19 ATC 94 (SC) ], dated 20-7-1998; K.I. Shepherd etc. Accordingly, we recommend that decisions taken in one specific case either by the judiciary or the Govt. should be applied to all other identical cases without forcing the other employees to approach the court of law for an identical remedy or relief. We clarify that this decision will apply only in cases where a principle or common issue of general nature applicable to a group or category of Government employees is concerned and not to matters relating to a specific grievance or anomaly of an individual employee.

    Govt. must follow their own instructions.

  13. When so many Government Gazette were issued,None of the government gazette is specific especially to the element of Fixed Medical Allowance.As now now more number of people are neither getting the old rate nor the Enhanced Rate.Needs Special Attention in regard to the status from the Central Government Point of view.The facts setforth in the present session is true to the best of my knowledge and belief.

    ReplyDelete
  14. The remedy now proposed is to explore the possibility Status on Fixed Medical Allowance Status and the legitimate increase under permissible norms,to ensure that atleast the old rate is released for payment with lesser duration of delay...Needs special attention.Regards...slakshmanrao3@gmail.com

    Sir,
    Kindly clarify about the pro motives. Will they get the benefit on promotional hierarchy?

    ReplyDelete
  18. It shows that callous attitude of the DOP&T. It is the right that Confederations, Assiociations and National JCM(Staff side) should write to the Hon'ble Prime Minister, as he the heading the Ministry of Personnel. Copies of all judgments delivered on promotion hierarchy should also be sent to the Hon'ble Prime Minister. DOP&T attitude towards employees is very annoying. It is the time to ravamp the DOP&T itself. Most of the orders issued by DOP&T were favouring the CSS cadre and others in the main ministries in case of extending GP 4600 to Assistants of CSS and their pay fixation orders. DOP&T should issue generalized orders so that all can be benefited. In this case, National JCM(Staff Side) had completely failed in bring this issues for the welfare of the employees. Confederations should file cases on behalf of the employees on common issues like Granting of 4600, merging of scales of 5000-8000,5500-9000 and 6500-10500, fixation of pay, granting of MACP on promotional hierarchy. Anomalies Committee had become a joke and most of the issues were still pending and National JCM is still sleeping on the issues. It is requested that National JCM should take up issue with the Government on priority basis. Even anomalies of 6th CPC were not resolved, 7th CPC was constituted and the problems / anomalies remain for ever. Every time, employees have to file court cases to resolve the issues.

  19. dopt is adopting negative attitude on macp cases. Time has come, we should unite and fight our case with new Govt. and even if new Govt. does not adhere to our demand, we should all go to court for justice for MACP in promotional heirarchy

    ReplyDelete
  20. Considering the stagnation in promotion in different cadre in 6th CPC the concept of promotional hierarchy was introduced. Those who will complete ten yrs of service without any promotion, he will be eligible for next higher promotional grade pay. But DOPT has mis-interpretated the same and given the next grade pay i.e. from Rs.1900/- to 2000/- only Rs.100/- in ten yrs, from Rs.2400/- to Rs.2800/- only Rs.400/- in ten yrs etc. This anamolly does not given a touch to the DOPT official vis-a-vis the Government as lower staffs voice will nobody listen. Further the Hon'ble CAT judgement people will be eligible for promotional hierarchy, then we will also knock the Hon'ble Court for justice on MACP in promotional hierarchy.

  22. SLP(C) No.10435-436 and 10791 of 2014 filed by DOP&T,New Delhi against Punjab & Haryana High Court,Chandigarh Judgment dated 7.11.2013 is scheduled for listing on 18.7.2014 and 21.7.14 in Hon'ble Supreme Court of India. The verdict of Apex Court is likely to end controversy about grant of grade pay either in promotional hierarchy or the next stage of grade pay due to financial upgradations under MACP Scheme based on judgment in Raj Pal's case.

    1. No. The only option left with poor central government employees is to approach Central Administrative Tribunal and thereafter High Courts and Supreme Court of India and not through PIL.

    2. The Supreme Court of India in S.L.P.(Civil)(CC) No.10791 of 2014 and another S.L.P. has condoned delay in filing the SLPs and while issuing notice to the respondents in these SLPs, the operation of impugned orders has also been stayed by the Supreme Court. Now one must wait for final verdict of Supreme Court before approaching any other court of law.

  25. The SLPs bearing No.10435 and 10436 of 2014 were also listed before the Supreme Court of India on 22.8.2014 and Court no.12 condoned delay in filing the SLPs, Issued notice and stayed the operations of impugned judgments. This means that all the SLPs on the subject are clubbed together and will be listed before the Supreme Court in coming months for adjudication. Dear friends, don't rush to advocates for filing fresh cases on the subject and patiently wait for verdict of Supreme Court of India in various cases on the subject of MACP on promotional hierarchy.

SLP (Civil) Nos.21809 of 2014, 22181 of 2014, 23333 of 2014 and 23335 of 2014 are clubbed together and are likely to be listed before the Hon'ble Supreme Court, after notices are served on respective parties. There is stay granted by the Supreme Court in all the above four cases. Besides this, WP(Civil) No.4662 of 2013 is to be listed before Delhi High Court on 4.9.2014 and in this writ petition also there is stay to the operation of impugned judgments of various High Courts. In all, five cases are under consideration before High Court of Delhi and Supreme court of India and in case there is some positive response, the others can also follow the same.

  26. I suggest that the case be filed by one or two and unions / federation representing them as a whole become party to make the outcome of the court cases operational for all employees and not on personal basis.

    ReplyDelete
  27. In my opinion, we should kick out both the Federations and start our own Federation i.e. Ministerial Staff Federation of India. Which will be an independent federation. Than only the problems of Ministerial Staff can be shorted out and we can snatch our RIGHT from Government of India. Friends as Mr Pillai is on the way. Come let us help him to reach the destination for benefit of all of us. If once we suceed to create the same, In all JCM we will be having our own cadre representative.

  28. MACP on promotional hierarchy is just a game playing by DoPT,they know it very well and even the employees of DoPT must be suffering for that.MACP or ACP was emerged to compensate the stagnation in one rank for years together.The provision of ACP made employees happy as the employees at least got pay in lieu of promotion.Now taking reference of Commisions order of pay to be fixed at next higher pay and not mentioned about promotional hierarchy so blindly and arbitrarily setting aside the judgement of CAT and Courts DoPT fixing pay at non-existing GP and pay which has no bearing .In RPF an Inspector on promotion as ASC gets class I scale of 5400/-GP but in MACP after 10 years gets 4800/GP in 9300/- pay which is not existing in pay structure of RPF.So friends time is very near ,its not as complicated as OROP and several courts given judgements in favour and contempt case pending at SC .
