apex JAC as Part – II of the Charter of Demands. We request all the Chief
Executives of constituents of apex JAC to forward the copy of the strike notice
to apex JAC Headquarters.
HOLD CONSTITUENT WISE DHARNA ON 29TH JANUARY 2014
In pursuance of
the decision taken in the Joint National Executives meeting of constituents of
apex JAC held on 11th January 2014, all constituents are requested
to direct their Units/Branches to hold day long Dharna on 29th

All Conveners of local JACs are
requested to hold meeting of the constituent organizations, co-ordinate with
all local constituents and ensure that the programme is implemented by all the
constituents. They are also requested to send a report after the Dharna on 29th
January, 2014 to apex JAC headquarters.

are not functioning, local constituents are requested to come in touch with
each other by taking initiative on their own and form local JAC immediately and
ensure implementation of the programme of 29th January 2014.

2. IN THE SECOND CASE - displayed by THE ALL INDIA POSTAL ACCOUNTS EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION (AIPAEA) in their official blog clearly indicates that –
It is requested to honour the spirit of the judgment in OA 1066/2011 and implement the same by giving the benefit of 2nd financial up-gradation ignoring the promotion from Junior Accountant to Senior Accountant cadre.
The full address of the THE ALL INDIA POSTAL ACCOUNTS EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION (AIPAEA) Organization highlighting the principles of unity & struggle in the said court case for the benefit of the employees is All India Postal Accounts Employees Association, CHQ, 13-B, New Mahavir Nagar, Type-IV, DDA Flat, New Delhi – 110 018.

Pr.CAT, Delhi seeking a direction to give the benefit of 2nd financial upgradation under ACP ignoring the promotions due to up-gradation of Junior Accountant posts to Senior Accountant. Earlier the O.A 955/210 by this Association in the similar matter has been remitted to the authority for considering the representation of the AIPAEA. The representation was submitted to DDG(PAF) and the same was rejected vide the order dated 28.12.2010. This is challenged and Hon. Pr. CAT quashed the memo dated 28.12.2010 and remitted back to the respondents for taking a fresh decision in this regard.

3. IN THE THIRD CASE –
This case clearly indicates that the upgradation from Jr. Accounts Asstt. to Accounts Asstt. in terms of restructuring of the posts in the ratio of 20:80 does not amount to promotion.
Supreme Court Judgement in respect of 3rd MACP to accounts staff - November 6, 2013 by Ram Leave a Comment
Decision of Hon’ble Supreme Court in respect of 3rd MACP to accounts staff-AIRF to Railway Board No.AIRF/227(213)
Dated: October 30, 2013
To,
The Secretary (E),
Railway Board,
New Delhi.
Dear Sir,
Sub: Implementation of the judgment of the Hon’able Supreme Court.
Ref: (i) AIRF’s letter No.AIRF/227(213) dated 26.08.2013
(ii) Board’s letter No.PC-V/2011/M/3/AIRF dated 07.10.2013
Apropos above, the reply of the Railway Board, contained in their letter under reference, is highly disappointing and unacceptable to us. Mere reiteration of Board’s earlier letter cannot justify the stand of the administration, as the Hon’ble Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition filed by the administration.
The apex court held in the said judgment that, if any restructuring of posts takes place, it does not amount to promotion. Accordingly, the office of the FA&CAO /S&W /PER/ SR vide Memorandum P.535 /S&W /PER / ADMN / FIX/ MACP dated 17.09.2012 accorded financial upgradation of Grade Pay of Rs.5400 to Shri V. Venkataraman, Accounts Assistant/ FA & CAO / S& VV / PER / SR. This clearly indicates that the upgradation from Jr. Accounts Asstt. to Accounts Asstt. in terms of restructuring of the posts in the ratio of 20:80 does not amount to promotion.
According to Article 141 of the Constitution of India, policy decision, delivered on the particular subject by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, is binding upon the Government of India.
The Board are, therefore, again urged to re-examine the issue In the light of the facts appraised above and grant the benefit of the 3rd MACP (GP Rs.5400) to all the eligible Supervisory Staff whose initial appointment was CG-II/Accounts Clerk.
An early action in the matter shall be highly appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
