As informed already, late (Com.) Durgesh Panigrahi, ex AAO, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Mumbai  had died of severe cardiac arrest on the Platform of Ahmedabad Railway Station on 18^th May 2010 due to the anti employee  transfer policy for the AAOs  and its  malicious operation by the CGA office.

            Mrs. Bhakti Lata Panigrahi w/o late Durgesh Panigrahi had fallen in a great distress with two small children due to sudden and untimely demise of her husband. On the basis of the informations and request of the Branches of Mumbai, Federation headquarters had requested CGA verbally to meet the representative of the Association for discussion and settlement of the matter. But CGA did not agree to meet. Subsequently, a delegation of Delhi based National Executive members of AICAEA had met the Jt.CGA and sought the intervention of CGA office in resolving the problem. But Jt. CGA had shown his total indifference over the whole incident and even disagreed to appreciate the fact that, it was the wrong handling of the case of late Com. Panigrahi  by CGA office which had caused the death of Com. Panigrahi.

            However, when the Federation Headquarter had approached the Chief Controller of Accounts, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare; she had responded positively and met the representatives of the Federation. She had agreed to consider the suggestions of the representatives of the Association regarding offering of an employment to Mrs. Panigrahi on compassionate ground. As a followup of the discussion, CCA, Health and Family Welfare had taken all actions expeditiously and offered appointment to Com. Mrs. Panigrahi. Finally Mrs. Panigrahi has reported for duty as a regular employee in the PAO, Health, Mumbai on 5^th October 2010.  

            Though Mrs. Panigrahi has got justice to some extent, but it is very unfortunate that, officers of CGA Office has not taken any lesson from the death of Com.Durgesh Panigrahi. Despite repeated requests, Jt. CGA did not agree to reconsider the posting of one of the acute asthma patient from Hyderabad to Campbell Bay in the Indian Ocean and another epileptic patient from Hyderabad to Nagpur as AAOs. Present Joint CGA being unclean, adamant and anti employee in nature, we should unite and fight. 

higher pay scale to stenographers

No: AICAEA/HQ/A-18/2010/433                                                                Dated: 29^th October, 2010

To

               The controller general of Accounts,

               Ministry of Finance,

               Department of Expenditure,

               Loknayak Bhawan,

               Khan Market,

               New Delhi-110003

Subject: Upgradation in the Pay Scale of Stenographer.

Ref: - The order dated 04.03.08 passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal Principal Bench New Delhi in OA No 3&9 of 2008.

Sir,

               Enclosed please find the orders dated 04.03.2008 passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal, Principal Bench on the issue of grant of upgraded Pay Scales to the stenographers Grade-II. We had prayed for grant of same Pay Scales to stenographers Grade-II of subordinate offices as was granted to stenographers Gr. C of the Central Secretariat Viz-

                        Rs. 1640-2900 w. e. f. 01.01.86

                        Rs. 5500-9000 w. e. f. 01.01.96

                        Rs. 6500-10500 w. e. f. 15.09.06

               The grounds on which we had sought the above relief were –

A.     Because the parity of Pay Scales between the Stenographers Grade II of subordinate offices & the Stenographers Gr. 'C' of Secretariat was established when the government accepted the Award (vide annexure A-6) and issues orders dated 04/05/90 (vide Annexure A-7) which was disturbed by the subsequent orders vide Annexure A-1, Annexure A-2 & Annexure A-3.

B.     Because this Hon'ble Tribunal in their judgment dated 19/01/96 in O.A. No. 144/93, 985/93 & 548/94 have laid down the following principles of Law:

"that in the situation indicated below Courts interference is necessary to undo the injustice and aggrieved employees have a right & the Courts have jurisdiction to remedy the unjust treatment meted out by arbitrary state action or inaction:-

(iii) After the recommendation of Pay Commission is accepted by the government, there is an unjust treatment by a subsequent arbitrary action/inaction. In other words the subsequent state action/inaction results in favourable treatment to same & unfavorable treatment to others."

That in this Case, by implementing the Award (vide Annexure A -6), The Government had accepted had there shall be parity in Pay Scale between stenographers Gr. II of subordinate offices & the stenographers Grade 'C' of the Secretariat.

                                                                                                                                                                  

However by subsequent actions (vide impugned orders Annexure A-1, A-2 & A-3) the Pay Scales of Stenographers Grade 'C' of the Secretariat only had been upgraded from Rs. 1400-2600 to Rs. 1640-2900 with effect from 901.01.86 Rs. 5500-9000 with effect from 01.01.86 and Rs. 6500-10500 with effect from 15.09.'06 while keeping the Stenographers Grade II of subordinate offices in the Pay Scale of Rs. 1400-2600 w.e.f. 01.01.06, Rs. 5000-8000 with effect from 01.01.96 onwards.

This discrimination and unjust treatment to Stenographers Grade II of subordinate offices has to be remedied by this Hon'ble Tribunal.

C.     Because the V Central Pay Commission fully ignored the fact that some of the Stenographers Grade II of some subordinate offices had been granted the upgraded Pay Scale of Rs. 1640-2900 through Courts & recommended unmeant upgraded Pay Scale of Rs. 1600-2600 (Revised pay of Rs. 5000-8000 which was also prescribed for Rs. 1400-2600) thus introducing a discrimination amongst the Stenographers Grade II of subordinate offices in as much as-

Those who had gone to Courts were placed in the Pay Scale of Rs. 5500-9000 (Prerevised Pay Scale of Rs. 1640-2900) with effect from 01.01.96 & those who had not gone to Court were placed in the Pay Scale of Rs. 5000-8000 (Pre-revised Pay Scale of Rs. 1400-2600 or 1600-1660) with effect from 01.01.96.

This is violative of provisions of article 14 & 16 of the Constitution.

D.    Because no specific reference of the above grievance has been made to the Sixth Central Pay Commission though advised by the Department of Expenditure. It will therefore not be examined by the said pay Commission particularly because the grievance relate to period prior to the date from which the recommendations of Sixth Pay Commission would be implemented.

E.     Because the Government have failed to refer this matter of anomaly to the Arbitrator despite the fact that disagreement in this anomaly was recorded as back as 08/10/1999 (vide Annexure A-9).          

               The Hon'ble Tribunal, however, did not consider the application on merit at that stage as they wanted to wait for the recommendations of 6CPC.

               The 6CPC has categorically recommended that there should be parity in pay scale up to level of Assistants between posts in Subordinate Officer & the Central Secretariat.

               Enclosing herewith the OA filed by us, where may be treated as a part of this representation, I request you now to grant the-

               Pay Scale Rs. 1640-2900  w. e. f. 01.01.1986

               Pay Scale Rs. 5500-9000  w. e. f. 01.01.1996

               Pay Scale Rs. 6500-10500 w. e. f. 01.01.2006

               to the Stenographers Grade II of offices under your control.

Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,

Enclo: as stated above

PREPARE FOR DAY LONG MASS DHARNA ON 8^TH DECEMBER 2010

 

            We hope all of you have been preparing for the Mass Dharna to be held in front of CGA office on 8^th December 2010.

All Branches are requested to send fresh list of the persons who shall be coming to participate in the Dharna to the federation headquarters. As informed already, boarding and lodging of outstation participants shall be arranged by the federation headquarters while at Delhi. In order to do so, it is essential that the Federation Headquarters should have the informations about presence of actual number of participants well in time. Therefore, all are requested to send the list within 10th November 2010 preferably by e-mail.

All Branches and Units are requested to increase the number of participants by 20 % more than the number they had informed before the Dharna of 24^th September 2010..

The Accommodation for stay of out station participants has been booked. It shall be "Chug Dharamsala, Udyan Marg, New Delhi -110001". The accommodation shall be available from 7^th to 9^th December 2010. All other conditions circulated through earlier circulars shall remain same.

Observe Campaign Fortnight

            Period between 8^th and 19^th November, 2010 may be observed as Campaign fortnight. Since the tour programme circulated through the earlier circulars is yet to be implemented, Regional co-ordinators are requested to finalize the names of the persons and dates for the visits to different stations immediately after the receipt of this circular.  Tour programme should preferably be conducted during the campaign fortnight.

Further, all Branches are requested to organize unit/area wise lunch hour meeting/demonstration etc. during the campaign fortnight and popularize the 16 point charter of demands among the rank and file membership.

PROTEST AGAINST

REFUSAL TO GRANT HONORARIUM

            After implementation of recommendations of every Pay Commission, different categories of Civil Accounts Employees were granted honorarium by CGA at fixed rates for checking of pay fixation cases and revision of pension cases. Since the Defence Accounts Department has already issued the orders granting honorarium to different categories of its employees and officers  after implementation 6CPC recommendations, we had requested CGA vide our letters dated 31^st July 2009 and 21^st July 2010 to grant honorarium to different categories of staff and officers like previous occasions at the following rates -

Sl.No.	Name of cadre	Amount per case
1	Gr-D	Rs.3/-
2.	LDC	Rs.5/-
3.	Accountant/Sr. Accountant	Rs.20/-
4.	AAO	Rs.10/-
5.	AO/Sr.AO	Rs.5/-

          

 But the CGA vide its letter dated 1^st October 2010 informed Central Headquarters of AICAEA that the Jt.CGA (Gr.-B) has not acceded to the request of grant of honorarium to the officers and staff for the extra labor they have been rendering in checking the pay fixation cases and revision of pension cases.

            Present Jt. CGA being one of the most unreasonable and anti-employee officers is out to snatch away the benefits we had achieved through our long struggle. We can not afford to remain as a silent spectator to such a situation.

It has therefore been decided that, Central Headquarters of AICAEA and AICAEA CAT II shall write letter to CGA and all Units shall forward following Resolution to the Controller General of Accounts demanding grant of incentive for checking of pay fixation cases and revision of pension cases immediately after the receipt of this circular.

With warm greetings,

 

(V.Bhattacharjee)

Secretary General

 

 

RESOLUTION

This joint meeting of the members of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association and All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II working in the PAO/ZAO_____________________ held to day the            November 2010 expresses its deep anguish and protest against refusal to concede the request of the Association by  the CGA authorities for granting honorarium at fixed rates to  different categories of employees and officers for checking of pay fixation cases and revision of pension cases after implementation of the 6^th CPC recommendations.

The request made by the All India Civil Accounts Employees Association was not a new demand. After implementation of recommendations of every Pay Commission, CGA had granted incentives to Civil Accounts Employees and officers for the extra burden of workload they had shouldered.

The meeting therefore, urges upon the Controller General of Accounts to intervene into the matter personally and take an early favorable decision at the earliest.

The meeting resolves to forward the copy of the Resolution adopted to the Controller General of Accounts, Ministry of Finance Department of Expenditure, New Delhi and the Secretary General, National Federation of Civil Accounts Associations, New Delhi.

Sir,

 

   We would like to refer your office letter No: - A-11019/25/2009/MF.CGA(A)/NGE/AICAEA-HQ/756 dated September 20, 2010 on the above mentioned subject and state that, as per the directive of our Central Working Committee meetings held at Shillong on 11^th & 12^th June 2010, we had requested you through our letters dated 4^th July 2010 to kindly initiate dialogue on the 16 point charter of demands on 6 CPC related issues and long pending demands which are linked with the effective functioning of Civil Accounts Organization.

 

            But it appears from the above referred letter of your office that the Civil Accounts authorities are having no concern about the discriminatory treatment given to the Employees and Officers of Civil Accounts Organization while implementing the 6 CPC recommendations or resolving the problem of improvement in functioning of the Organization.

 

            We however, once again request you to review the stand taken by your office and convene meetings with the National Executives of both Associations at your earliest convenience.

 

            We would also like to inform you that, if we do not get any favorable response from your end, the decision conveyed by us through our letter dated 23^rd September 2010 shall stand and we shall be forced to hold day long dharna in front of your Office on 8^th December 2010.

Subject: One day strike on 7^th September, 2010

 

Sir,

 Kindly refer to the OM. No.A-12017/1/2010/ MF.CGA(A)/NGE/Asso-Agi/781  dated 15-09-2010 of your office on the subject of one day strike on 7^th September 2010. Instead of issuing instructions in respect of strike on 7^th September 2010, your office has referred one day Dharna on 24/09/2010 in front of your office (intimation for which was given by us on 09/09/2010).

         

          We have therefore to presume that, these instructions were not meant to curb the Dharna on 24^th September 2010. If however, your office had issued these instructions applicable in respect of Dharna; we have the following submission to make-

         

          Rule 7 (1) of CCS (conduct) Rules only prohibits such Dharnas which are against the security of a state/county and certain other purposes specified in the said rule. This provision in no way prohibits any democratic method of demonstrative protest including Dharna if organized by any Association or any other forum in order to manifest its protest/discontent on the anti-employee approach/ decisions and actions or inactions in respect of the employees by the authorities. We had decided to sit for Dharna to record our protest against not initiating discussions to settle our long pending demands as well as the discriminatory treatment given to in different categories of Civil Accounts Employees and Officers at the time of implementing the 6CPC recommendations by your office and the Government of India altogether.  This right of ours which come under fundamental right of freedom of expression has been sought to be curbed by blending it as an action in the nature of strike ignoring the fact that, even the Parliamentarians of this country are organizing Dharna in front of the Parliament house to register their protest against various issues and decisions of the Government.

         

          The instructions issued under the above OM of your office are ultra vires of constitution and therefore illegal.

 

          We therefore, request you to direct your office to withdraw the said OM.

 

          We hope, you will consider these submissions with a positive attitude and do the needful.

         

          We would also like to request  that, you may kindly' meet the representatives of the AICAEA and AICAEA CAT II for discussion and settlement of 16 point demands whereby the harmonious relations between you and the employees organizations are established and nurtured.

 

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully

Subject: One day Dharna on 24^th September, 2010 – regarding

 

Reference:- Your Office circular No. Pr. AO (A)/General/ 2010-11/367 dated 16^th September, 2010

 

Sir,

 

          We are shocked to go through the contents of the above circular of your office whereby the instructions issued by the CGA regarding the 7^th September 2010 strike have been made applicable by your office against one day Dharna on 24^th September 2010. In terms of Rule 7(1) of the CCS (conduct) Rules, demonstrative action in the form of Dharna is not misconduct. Even in the definition given under Rule 7(2), Dharna has not been included as a form of a strike. The honorable Parliamentarians of this country are often resorting to Dharna in protest against the decisions of the Government.

 

          In these circumstances, on what authority or rule your office has treated Dharna as a misconduct and thereby decided to resort to punitive actions like not permitting casual leave and will be treated as unauthorized absence etc could not be understood.

 

          I therefore, request you to direct the administration of your office to take back such provocative and illegal instructions which have been issued by it. None of the Civil Accounts authorities other than your office has issued such instructions. It is apparent that, your administration has over reacted which portray its intolerant attitude towards the causes of the employees and Association activities. We plead with you to direct your administration to change such negative attitude and co-operate with the Association.         

                          

Thanking you,
