(E) 40 dated 13-04-2017.
Sir,
The National Executives meeting of this Association held
on 12th April 2017 in Delhi had deliberated on the fall out of the
decision of your office to conduct re-examination on 6th &7th
July 2017 by cancelling the results of AAO (Civil) Examination, 2014 and
directed me to draw your kind attention to the following matters on account of
the anguish and resentment shown by the members through our Branches and Units
for your kind perusal and favorable decision-
1.
The AAO (Civil)
Examination, 2014 has been cancelled on the ground of “large scale
irregularities reported” … “which undermined the process for fair selection of
meritorious candidates”. Irregularities
ought to have been detected sometime between holding of the Examination in
October, 2014 and declaration of results on 31-3-2015. It took almost six
months to declare the results yet no irregularity was detected between the
intervening periods, or shortly thereafter.
2.
Since, the Examination
was conducted in October, 2014, and results were declared on 31-3-2015, it is
almost after two years, the successful candidates have been told that the
Examination stands cancelled. This is an unprecedented cancellation of a
departmental examination in the history of functioning of Civil Accounts
organization.
3.
The individuals
responsible for the irregularities have not been identified and isolated. No
policy decisions to check irregularity in future examinations has been adopted
and circulated before taking the decision of conducting re-examination. As
such, the future examinations are not free form the doubt of irregularities and
ultimate sufferers shall be the candidates.
4.
The cancellation orders
not only put into uncertainty the career of successful candidates, but they
also face the danger of withdrawal of benefits already granted to them. Apart from the candidates cleared all papers,
a section of the LDCs who cleared four out of eight papers have been promoted
and posted as Accountants from the date of passing the examination. It is beyond all doubt that, they were not the
part of any irregularity but they shall be the worst victim due to cancellation
of the examination.
Therefore, in the greater interest of the
Civil Accounts organization, this Association requests you kindly
1.
not to punish the honest and
genuine candidates by conducting re-examination once again in July 2017 as they
had already appeared the examination in 2014 and got through it by after giving
their hard labor.
2.
to identify the officials
and candidates responsible for the incident of irregularities and initiate
appropriate departmental action against them.
This
Association hopes, your esteemed self being one of the most kind hearted
personalities of Civil Accounts Organization shall consider the urge of the
totality of the Civil Accounts Employees reflected through the contents of this
letter most sympathetically and take a decision that would remove tension and
restore smile on the faces of those innocent employees who are suffering from
the feelings of dejection.
Thanking you
Yours Sincerely,
(V. Bhattacharjee)
Secretary General
