Maharashtra Circle,
Mumbai 400 001.
Sub:- Need for vigilance inquiry in respect of transfers, deputations, adhoc promotions, monitoring shortage of staff etc. ordered by Shri Suryawanshi SPo’s Ratnagiri Division.
Respected Sir,
This All India Union is in receipt of number of complaints on the subject cited above.
Central Working Committee has already launched an Agitational Programme at Divisional, Regional, Circle and Directorate level. Accordingly our Ratnagiri Divisional branch is holding demonstrations in front of D.O. in order to focus attention on divisional problems. Accordingly this All India Union has analyzed the problems and it seems that Divisional Head of Ratnagiri Division is engaged in corruptive practices. Brief of some of them are as under…
a) Relief under rule 38 transfer
Cases of M.C.Bhave, L.B.Nachankar, S.S.Kamat considered favourably and quickly. As against this cases of A.Y.Narvekar, A.P.Bhave kept pending for long time & then rejected.
b) Rotational Transfers
(i) L.A.Bhojane : Transferred from Chiplun after stay of 7-8 years to above and came back to Chiplun on deputation within 15 days.
(ii) P.R.Bagave : After stay of 7-8 years at Chiplun transferred to Kherdi, then Shirgaon, Khed then Chiplun all in just within one year.
(iii) M.M.Pandit : After 7 years stay at Ratnagiri in June 08 and within one month back to Ratnagiri at D.O. on deputation and deputation still continues.M.R. Shinde :After 6 years stay at Chiplun was brought back to above near Chiplun within 15 days.
(iv) Smt. P.P.Gogate : Ratnagiri to Pali & back to Ratnagiri first on deputation and then on transfer within one year. (June 08 – June 09)
(v) Smt . S.P.Khanvilkar : Ratnagiri to Hathkhambha and back to Ratnagiri within one year.
As against favouratism case, following cases permissible within the rule are not considered…
1) Shri N.V.Chavan : Ratnagiri to Saitwade not considered even after completing 2 years.
2) Shri Y. S.Rasal : Makhjan to Abloli .Request not considered even after completing 3 years.
C) Promotions
i) Shri H.B.Kasar : promoted in LSG (NB) by C.O. but did not join the post at Chiplun. Now working at Wakavali a 1 + 1 hand office, even though he is promoted in HSG (II) NB .
ii) Shri S.S.Revandkar : worked at Oni (1+1 hand office) for 6-7 years. Due to roaster Point got LSG (NB) but declined, even though his name has been recommended for promotion to HSG (II) NB and has been promoted to HSG (II) NB without joining LSG (NB) post.
iii) Shri A.R.Kudalkar : Promoted to HSG I but did neither join within month nor declined. SPo’s Ratnagiri favour him granted extension of 3 months for joining at promoted post which is not permissible under rules as against this Shri Sunil P. Ghadge transferred from Dapoli to Dabhol, reason junior most in TBOP, which is totally incorrect and no such criterion is applied in such type of posting.
D) Retention Beyond Tenure
Number of officials are favoured by retaining them even beyond station tenure/office tenure and beyond post tenure in Accounts line. No of officials are favoured by issuing transfer orders on paper and by non implementing the same.
E) Favoritism in promotion
During last 2 years no adhoc arrangement were made in HSG (II) NB, eventhough officials were working on that post. But in order to favour one Shri M.H.Shaikh junior LSG (NB) official has been posted in HSG (II) NB at Devrukh, this is a classic example of corruptive practice.
F) Exploitation of GDS Staff for gains
i) Short term deputation / transfers of GDS staff within subdivisions.
ii) Calling of Melas frequently at sub divisional level during duty hours for BD/RPLI schemes.
iii) Grant of TA to certain favoured GDS Staff for attending Melas depriving others.
iv) Withholding of pay for non-attending melas due to departmental work at single handed B.O. by SDI (P) Dapoli.
G) Shortage of PA Staff
SPo’s Ratngiri while monitoring shortage of staff adopting favoritism i.e. in certain offices full staff is deployed and in other, for months together shortage is kept to harass SPM’s.
For example cases of Makhjan, Khalgaon, Deodhe, Nivali, Dabhol, Nandgaon post offices can be cited.
H) Utilization of postmen services for office work by ASP’s/IP’s even keeping postmen post vacant and work keeping pending.
There are also large scale of irregularities for incurring expenditure in BD schemes in Ratnagiti Division and this All India Union will be coming with proof for investigating the matter in details. At last we request you please to cause for detailed vigilance enquiry through circle office and give justice to staff.
Thanking You
Yours Faithfully,
(M.K.Khamborkar)

No.BP-III/BCR/Suspension/08-09 Dated 14/10/2009
To,
Shri R.K.Singh.
Member (Personnel)
Postal Services Board
New Delhi 110 001.
Sub:- Regarding continued irregular suspension causing unnecessary expenditure from public exchequer and lasting damage to repute
of Postal officials .
Respect Sir,
Your kind attention is hereby invited towards this All India Union’s letter of even no dated 21-10-2009 on the subject cited above. In this connection we are very sorry to note that so far Bihar Circle is concerned there is no improvement in the situation. Suspended officials are getting subsistence allowance without exerting for work.
In our letter we had brought to your notice that in Bihar Circle there are 14-15 officials / officers who are under continued suspension as they are entangled in CBI cases. But mere involvement in CBI case cannot justify for continued suspension. A case to case review on merit is therefore necessary. We had earlier cited case of one Shri B.K.Mishra, PA Siwan Dn. Bihar, CBI had already filed a chargesheet and thus there is no more cause to keep him under prolonged suspension, further it is learnt that CBI has also informed the department to take action for revocation of suspension on the basis of rules/instructions.
As per Central Vigilance Commission instructions No. 000/VGL/70 dated 25/09/2000 in CBI cases advice of CBI can be obtained for continuation/revocation of suspension. But it seems that no such exercise is done on Bihar Circle and prolonged continued suspensions are allowed. Subsistance allowance to the tune of lakhs of rupees are being paid from public exchequer violating instructions of Govt of India .
In Maharashtra circle authorities are not paying their due attention towards provision of statutory rules, decisions, instructions of Govt. of India. Review of suspension cases of Mumbai City West Dn. For example will prove this beyond doubt. In this division, one LSG (NB) official is kept under suspension even after transferring him & after proving that no Govt. loss/ fraud is caused, he is being kept under suspension bypassing all rules, instruction. His representation/appeals etc. are kept unattented by appellate authorities for months together. As against this one official involved in computerized SB fraud to the tune of thousands of rupees is kept under suspension and within one month it is revoked. Comparison with vigilance angle in such case is needed and it is to be done by R.O./C.O. But R.O./C.O. relies on D.O. which encourages the corruptive practices of disc. authorities. In such cases recovery of subsistence allowance paid irregularly needs to be ordered.
Intervention at your level is therefore requested.
With regards,
Yours faithfully,
(M.K.Khamborkar)

No.BPEU Class III/Vig Enq/09-10 Dated 14.10.2009
To,
Shri M.S.Bali.
Chief Postmaster General,
Maharashtra Circle,
Mumbai 400 001.
Sub:- Request for conducting Vigilence enquiry in to appointment of postmen staff from GDS through examination held on 03/12/2006 – Case of Dhule Division in Maharashtra Circle.
Respected Sir,
This is in continuation of this All India Union letter of even no. dated 19th Feb. 2009 followed by reminder communication dated 11th May 2009 and in this connection we are very sorry to note that still no corrective actions are taken in the matter.
By the by we would like to add that information obtained revealed that ADPS (VIG) from C.O. has carried out preventive vigilence inspection from 17/12/2007 to 20/12/2007. In the inspection report in Para 12 it is mentioned that for departmental quota total 15 vacancies (12 for O.C. + 3 for SC) were declared and 7 O.C. + 7 O.B.C. were selected.
According to rules on the subject, once vacancies are declared it cannot be altered. Moreover vacancies of S.C. quota cannot be converted in another quota. Then it was matter for further investigation with vigilence angle. But this was not done by C.O.
R.O. has admitted mistake, but did not take corrective action on flimsy grounds.
Sir, you will agree that “JUSTICE DELAYED MEANS JUSTICE DENIED”. Here meritorious candidates are suffering for last 2 years and those who are not entitled for promotion are enjoying. This is not only a very serious matter, but it is encouraging for corruptive practices.
This All India has launched an Agitational programme and one of our demand is “To punish those who are indulging in corruptive practices and those who are covering them irrespective of Cadre” The above case is a fit example, in this respect.
However we request you to looking to this matter personally and cause for corrective actions immediately.
Thanking you
Yours faithfully,
(M.K.Khamborkar)
