SEA Cell from BSNL’s counselor of HR Telecom Circle to initiate CPC but he has opined not to issue any promotion order till the final outcome of the court case. Finally, the case was disposed off with a direction not to implement the SC/ST roaster in promotions as per the judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court in the Nagrajan case. BSNL CO SEA cell took the legal opinion and has sent to DoT/DoP&T for advice but the advice is still awaited. Meanwhile, the SEA Cell initiated the CPC process and directed Circles to send the screening reports to C.O. to process the CPC to fill-up about 1800 vacant AOs posts. Finally, SEA Cell issued promotion orders for 1551 JAO to AO. Shortly, the next CPC from JAO to AO will be initiated to fill up the vacant AO posts against the vacancies up to July 2015. (h) CPC from AO/CAO (Adhoc) to CAO Regular: CPC work from AO/CAO (Adhoc) to CAO regular promotion was expedited to fill up about 300 CAO posts but meanwhile stay order against promotion have been granted by Hon’ble CAT Chandigarh which has stalled the entire process on the pretext of Nagraj judgement from Hon’ble Supreme Court regarding SC/ST reservation on promotions. The case was heard on 05.08.2015 and now posted on 21.09.2015 for further hearing. BSNL has filed an application to allow promotions on the basis of DoP&T instructions available in this regard. BSNL Corporate Office has taken the legal opinion from Sr. GM (Legal) who has advised to take that legal opinion from Govt. ASG in this regard. SEA Cell is now taking the advice from ASG. AIBSNLEA will shortly implead in this case. (i) CPC from AO to CAO (Adhoc): Management has assured that as soon as the promotion orders of CAO (Regular) are issued the CPC work from AO to CAO (Adhoc) will be taken up. However, the proposal for diversion of MT Posts (336 CAOs) to seniority quota has been cleared by BSNL MC and pending for BSNL Board approval. (j) CPC from CAO to DGM (F): Promotion from CAO to DGM (F) Adhoc has been initiated to fill up the vacant DGM (F) posts. ACRs/VCRs of the eligible CAOs are being collected. (k) CPC from DGM (F) Adhoc to DGM (F) Regular: CPC work from DGM (Adhoc) to DGM (Regular) is in progress to fill up about 12 vacant DGM (F) posts. The promotion order will be issued shortly. (l) Review of JAO Part-II Exam result: We requested to review JAO Part-II Exam result wherein many candidates have failed with 1-2 marks in CPWD paper. Some grace mark given, may help to fill up the vacant JAOs posts in Circles immediately. The relaxation of 5 marks was considered for SC/ST candidates but OC category candidates are not given any relaxation. Director (HR) has assured to re- look into the matter considering huge number of vacant posts. (m) Allowing option to departmental JAOs who joined after 07.05.2010: The pay anomaly case of departmental JAOs was processed by PAT Cell. A committee formed headed by PGM (SR), Sr. GM (Pers.), GM (Estt.), GM (EF) and GM (FP) and the said committee finalized the report and submitted to competent authority for approval. The said Committee recommended five additional increment benefits to Deptt. JTOs/JAOs at par with direct recruit JTOs/JAOs and accordingly implemented. Allowing option to Departmental JAOs who joined after 07.05.2010 in the executives’ cadre has been settled. AIBSNLEA consistent efforts yielded result in getting released order on 24.07.2015 regarding pay fixation of JAOs (Deptl)(40% quota) of 2010 Batch arising out of Non-Executives' Wage revision orders dated 7.5.2010 and subsequent clarification dated 18.5.2011 (n) Recruitment of JAOs and MT (F): BSNL CO has recruited 965 JAOs from outside. The batches are proceeding for training. SEA cell has given a letter to Recruitment cell for the recruitment of 1000 JAOs departmental quota. As soon as the eligibility for non-executives cadres is reduced from 7 year to 5 year after the approval of BSNL Board notification for recruitment will be issued. A notification of 100 MTs recruitment in the Finance Wing was made which was strongly opposed by AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA. Thereafter, the MT Exam is deferred for the next six months. CWC may discuss and decide the strategy in this regard. TELEWAVE Page-34 AUGUST-2015
