APPEAL
UNDER SECTION 4 OF THE SERVICE
TRIBUNAL
ACT 1973
Being highly aggrieved and
dissatisfied with the Order of cancellation of appointment as ASSISTANT BPS-11,
by the Respondent NO.2 on 04th September, 07 (Annexure A/1 refers),
against which the humble appellant named above preferred Departmental Appeal on
21st September, 07 (Annexure A/2 refers), which is not yet responded
even after lapse of the stipulated period of 60-days which expired on 17th
November, 07, hence this appeal on following facts and grounds:-
1.
That the appellant was appointed as Junior Clerk under
Respondent NO.3 on 29.3.1987.
2.
That during his service career work and conduct of the
appellant was unblemished. Moreover being always ready to learn he during
service improved his professional qualification and earned the degree of
graduation.
3.
That in recognition of his efficient services, the
Appellant was awarded an appreciation certificate on 30.11.2005, which is
annexed herewith as Annexure A/3.
4.
That in appreciation of his meritorious service, even
being junior most, on the same day i.e.30.11.2005 the appellant was given an
officiating charge of the vacant post of ASSISTANT which continued for almost
two years. The said order is annexed herewith as Annexure A/4.
5.
That since the post of ASSISTANT was essentially
required to meet the daily work in the office and there was no suitable
candidate available to be promoted in the light of seniority cum fitness basis,
for which the said post was filled in by the junior most official, as such, the
appellant was appointed on the post of ASSISTANT in BPS-11 by the Respondent
No.3 vide order dated 28.02.07. Copy of the said order is filed herewith as
Annexure A/5.
6.
That on meritorious appointment of the Appellant as
Assistant, private respondents felt prejudice, against which they filed joint
representation to the Respondent NO.2. Noteworthy to mention here that the said
form of representation is not permissible in law as such the same could not be
considered at all. Copy of the said representation is annexed herewith as
Annexure A/6.
7.
That on the above said representation, comments were
called from the Respondent NO.3, who vide his letter dated 26.5.2007 commented
that the reason of appointing the appellant was his exceptional performance,
though he was appointed without recommendation of Departmental Promotion Committee.
It is to clear, that the Appellant was
not promoted but appointed as such there was no room for holding meeting or
recommendation of Departmental Promotion Committee. The said comments are filed
herewith as Annexure A/7.
8.
That subsequently once again, without any
justification, comments were called from the Respondent
NO.3 who commented through his letter dated 04.08.2007 that since the post of
Assistant is to be filled in by way of 75% promotion from the staff and 25% by
initial recruitment as such the Appellant was appointed a fresh on 25% quota
reserved for initial recruitment on consideration of his extra ordinary
performance. The said comments are produced herewith as Annexure A/8.
9.
That after sending comments (Annexure A/8 refers), the
Respondent NO.3, assigned officiating charge of Superintendent to the Appellant
vide his order dated 30.08.2007 which shows that the very officer/ immediate
boss of the Appellant was very much satisfied with the work and conduct with
the Appellant.
10.
That subsequently without calling any explanation from
the appellant, the Respondent NO.2 held appointment order (Annexure A/1 refers)
of the appellant without lawful authority, null, void and without any effect
what-so-ever.
11.
That the said order was passed against the appellant on
the basis that the appellant was appointed in deviation / violation of existing
rules. Further it was held that the appellant was appointed without any
advertisement in press during ban by the Respondent NO.3 who was not competent
to appoint him. It was further ordered that the amount received as Assistant by
the Appellant should also be recovered.
12.
That feeling highly aggrieved and dissatisfied with the
above said order, the appellant Appeal preferred
departmental appeal/representation on 21.09.2007 which has not yet been decided
even after lapse of statutory period of 60 days copy of which is filed herewith
as Annexure A/2, hence this appeal on following amongst other grounds:-
G R O U N D S
A)That the
impugned order is illegal, void abinitio and malafide.
B)That the
during his officiating period which continued for two years no body made any
representation against the appellant but on his appointment they all suddenly wakeup from deep slumber.
C)That the
impugned order was passed on joint representation which is not permissible in
law as such the impugned order is unsustainable in law and malafide too.
D)That
comments submitted by the Respondent NO.3 were not given due weight which
establishes malafide on the part of respondent NO.2.
E)That
before passing impugned order, no show cause notice or explanation was served
on the appellant as such he was condemned unheard.
F)That the
appellant was appointed on the basis of 25% quota which is reserved for fresh
appointments as such no prejudice had caused to private respondents.
G)That the
post of ASSISTANT is of BPS-11 for which the Respondent NO.3 is very much
competent to appoint any person as such the appointment of appellant cannot be
termed as incompetent order.
H)That as
alleged, if the appointment was made in deviation of rule and law and the
appellant was appointed during ban, even then, the appellant cannot be
penalized but the appointing authority should be penalized who passed the said
order.
I)That
from the contents of the Representation of the private respondent and the
impugned order it is apparent that the competence of the appellant is not
questioned or doubted at all but only the right of promotion of some seniors
were infringed.
J)That the
promotion is not a right as such the representation of private respondents is
illegal and malafide.
K)That
order of recovery of amount received as salary by the
Appellant as Assistant is illegal as the appellant rendered service for the
said post and was and utilized fully by the Department.
L)That the
appeal is in time.
M)That
more grounds may be urged at the time of arguments at the time of arguments.
P R A Y E R
On
consideration of the facts and grounds above mentioned t is humbly prayed that
this Hon’ble Tribunal may be pleased to set aside the impugned order (Annexure
A/ ) and restore the appellant to the
post of ASSISTANT with all consequential
benefits. Award any other relief as deemed just and proper.
