A STEP AHEAD FOR THE GDS NO DOUBT!

As a result of our beloved leader SS Mahadevaiah's appeal to the NJCM top leaders vide letter dated -23-10- 2013 , when the leaders of various organizations of the NJCM staff side met on 26 October, 2013 and formulated a consensus proposal regarding the terms of reference of the 7^th CPC , they put forth our grievance also. In the case of date of effect, even though the stand taken by confederation is 1.1.2011, taking into consideration the view points of other organizations a compromise formula of 1.1.2014 as date of effect is arrived at i.e. from the 1^st January after the announcement of 7^th CPC by the Government. Regarding DA merger, interim relief, pensionary benefits to those entered in service on or after 1.1.2004 etc also an agreed formula has been worked out.

Regarding the most important demand affecting 50% of the employees of the Postal Department i.e, inclusion of Gramin Dak Sevaks under the purview of the 7^th CPC, unlike in the past, this time there is total unanimity among the staffside. In the staffside proposal regarding terms of reference to be submitted to the Govt., it will be clearly mentioned that the three lakhs Gramin Dak Sevaks of the Postal Department should be brought under the purview of the 7^th Pay Commission.

Bonus Donation to CHQ and Circles.

We are informing you that the Financial position of the CHQ is very weak during the last financial year. Most of the Divisions are not sending due Quota to CHQ. We have to play key role and launch struggles for the cause of GDS main demands (i) Inclusion of GDS employees in 7^th Central Pay Commission. (ii) Regularisation of GDS employees. CHQ is going to conduct March to Parliament on 12-12-2013 and GDS National Convention on 13-12-2013. Future course of action will be decided there after due consultation of rank and file. CHQ appeals all our Branch/Divisional/Circles Secretaries to mobilize large number to attend the CHQ programmes. Suggest our comrades to make to and fro reservations as early as possible. The climate in Delhi in month of December is very cold. Come with necessary and proper arrangements to face cool climate

COMRADES,KNOW THE ATTITUDE OF NFPE'S REAL -VE ROLE FOR THE GDS

We are sorry to say that Secretary General of NFPE, Shri M. Krishanan in his circular, dated 28.9.2013 issued in the name of Confederation of Central Govt. employees has observed that inclusion of Gramin Dak Sevaks in Pay Commission would be resisted by Govt. Why Krishnan is saying so. Is he the spokesperson of Govt.? Why Krishanan is planting ideas in the mind of the Govt. regarding inclusion of Gramin Dak Sevaks in Pay Commission. This is sabotaging our demand and is highly condemnable stand of this leader and I call upon all branches to expose this leadership.

Make successes Dharna in Divisional Head Quarters on 12-11-2013

Conduct Countrywide Dharna in Divisional Head Quarters on 12-11-2013 in support of Parliament Rally and GDS All India Convention.

Comrade,

The devastating Phi line/flood in 13 districts of Odisha has already broken the minimum financial back bone of our GDS in particular as the GDS are paid the low salary i.e. TRCA just for managing the hand to mouth requirement .In the name of holding Govt. Job ,they are neglected in the State Govt. Relief distribution .So they are deprived of any short of help though most of the GDS live in small thatched kaccha house .

Therefore it is my earnest request you to put forth the Grievance to the DG Post and in the Ministerial level to sanction financial assistance of some short for the GDS in humanitarian point of view ,we shall be ever thankful to you.

Subject:- Inclusion of the issues and problems of Gramin Dak Sevaks of theDepartment of Posts.

Respected Sir,

We would invite your kind reference to our letter of even no. Dated. 03.10.2013 on the subject. We have requested you to utilise your good offices for inclusion of the issues relating to Gramin Dak Sevaks of the Department of Posts in the purview and terms of reference of the 7^th CPC which has been announced by the Government to be constituted soon. Further to that we would venture to submit further justification for inclusion of Gramin Dak Sevaks in the consideration ambit of the 7^th CPC.

2. The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India have ruled in P.K. Rajama’s case {(1977) AIR Vol. 64SC1967}. Which is also referred to as Gokul Nanda’s Case that the Extra Departmental agents (as the GDS employees were then called) is not a casual worker but holds a post under the administrative control of the State. The Hon’ble Apex Court had held that “though such post is outside the regular civil services, there is no doubt it is post under the state. The tests of a civil post laid down by this court in Kanak Chandra Dutta’s case (Supra) is clearly satisfied in the case of the extra departmental agents. Thus the highest court of the land has held the ED Agents (now GDS employees) as holders of Civil Post”.

3. The 3^rd Central Pay Commission has defined the “Central government employees”. It considered “all persons in the civil services of the Central Government or holding Civil Posts under that Government and paid out of consolidated fund of India to be Central Government employees”. The case of Gramin Dak Sevaks clearly fits this definition. The Gramin Dak Sevaks are holders of Civil Post under the Central government, as held by the Hon’ble Supreme Court and are paid from consolidated fund of India. There is thus no doubt that the Gramin Dak Sevaks are central government employees and are legally fit to be included in the purview of the 7^th Central Pay Commission.

4. The 4^th Central Pay Commission have categorically observed and held in Para 1.18 of their report thus:

The matter is however beyond controversy after the decision of the supreme court in Gokalnanda’s case where it has been declared that the extra departmental agent is not a causal worker but holds a post under the administrative control of the State” and that there is no doubt that it is a post under the “State”. In view of this pronouncement we are unable to accept the contention that the extra departmental employees were out side the purview of the terms of our commission.

Thus the 4^th Central Pay Commission were not inclined to exclude the ED agents from the terms of their purview and have termed the ED Agents as Central government employees.

5. The Central Administrative Tribunal Ernakulam Bench has rejected the arguement that by the Judgement dated 22.4.1977 of the Supreme Court ED agents have been declared holders of Civil Post only for the purpose of protection and safeguards in article 311(2). The Bench in O.A No. 584/95 decided on 23.1.1996 observed:

We find no warrant for reading the restriction into the declaration of law in the Rajamma’s case and limiting it to article 311 the declaration is that extra departmental agents are holders of Civil Post.

Justice Talwar Committee has entirely agreed with this observation.

6. The sum total is that by the observation and declaration of experts and Judiciary, the Gramin Dak Sevaks fulfil the requirement of being included in the purview and terms of the Central Pay Commission.

7. On the Contrary, what is the predicament of the departmental officers, retired or serving, which manifiests itself in the bias as has been shown by Nataraja Murti Committee, has been summed up by the Savoor Committee in Para 1.5 thus:

This is somewhat disturbing, especially, when on the one hand the employees representatives are asking for higher wages and better conditions of service and This is somewhat disturbing, especially, when on the one hand the employees’ representatives are asking for higher wages and better conditions of service and on the other the government is seeking ways and means to curb the ever mounting losses in running the Postal services.

The Savoor Committee itself suggests the answer, in para 1.6 thus:

From the peoples point of view of running the Postal Service which is an essential public utility, profits need not be the Chief motive for the Government. In India with such vast Postal network operating the services at surplus may not be possible.

8. From all that has been described above, it clearly transpires that the GDS employees fit the bill for being included in purview and terns of Seventh CPC and their case should be referred to the 7^th CPC. This will on one hand impart Justice to both the GDS employees and the Department by thorough study and analysis the concerned issues and on the other save, the department from the expenditure of appointing a separate Committee.

We, therefore, request you kindly to utilise your good offices and impress on the Hon’ble Finance Minister so that the issues relating to the GDS employees are included in the preview and terms of the 7^th CPC to be constituted soon.

With kind regards,

Yours faithfully,
