Three per cent quota in government service for the disabled is only for initial appointments not for Promotions-Madras High Court.

 

   At first we should go through the DoPT OM No 36035/4/2010-Estt (Res) dated  01-08-2011.

   Three per cent quota in government service for the disabled is only for initial appointments, and the government cannot be directed to extend it for promotions, ruled the Madras High Court on Monday.

   Dismissing a petition seeking a direction to the government to reserve three per cent for promotions to physically handicapped persons, Justice K. Chandru said: “The provisions are contemplated only for initial appointments and not for promotions. The petitioner has not made out any case to seek a direction to provide for reservation for the disabled persons in the matter of promotions in respect of State services.”

   The writ petition was filed by the South Arcot Vallalar District Handicapped Welfare Association, represented by its president S. Shanmugam, seeking reservation for the disabled in promotions. If suitable employees were not available in a particular year, the unfilled posts could be carried over for the next three succeeding years.

   When the matter was heard, the State Commissioner for the Disabled stated that there was no government policy to reserve three per cent of posts in promotions to be filled from the disabled category.

   The disabled persons were considered only for the direct recruitment posts under three per cent reservation as per a G.O issued in 1981. Promotions were made in government departments based on seniority or transfer of service.

   Mr. Justice Chandru said it could be seen from the G.O. that reservation for disabled persons was only horizontal and not vertical as contemplated in Article 16 of the Constitution.

   He said that even in respect of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, it was only by virtue of amendments made to the Constitution and by introduction of Article 16(4A) that the State had been empowered to make provision for reservation in promotion to any class or classes of posts in the service.

   The Gujarat government will be recruiting 50,000 employees for class III posts on fixed pay in the coming months. The govt. has asked all state departments to "immediately start recruiting".

Following this the state government had stopped the entire recruitment process. But the government approached the SC in May and got relief as the HC order was stayed by the SC. Following this With the elections nearby in the state, the state govt. is speeding up the process of filling up the vacant posts of class III employees. Departments have been asked to fill vacant posts without delay, "disregarding the powers for recruitment currently vested in Gujarat Public Service Commission, Gujarat Secondary Service Selection Board and Gujarat Panchayat Service Selection Board."

Relaxation for LTC travel by air to visit Jammu and Kashmir- Will it be extended ?

   Relaxation for LTC travel by air to visit Jammu and Kashmir may be extended

   The Central Government Employees had a great Opportunity to visit Jammu and Kashmir by Air through conversion of Home Town LTC. The family members of Central Government Servants, who visited this beautiful state which is named after the Heaven of Earth, enjoyed it very much as it was a wonderful Experience for them. All the dependents  of the Central Government Employees were excited for not only visiting this state, but the mode of journey they were entitled from their duty station or from Delhi/Amritsar to go to this lovely state is an experience like a dream come true. Each and every one who visited Jammu and Kashmir by availing this Concession are very much grateful to the Central Government and it will make them feel pride being a part of Government Service.

   As the last date of this concession for conversion of Home town LTC/ All India LTC to go to Jammu and Kashmir by Air closes by 18th June 2012, the central government employees, those who are not availing this LTC to Jammu and Kashmir Concession before this due date, are feeling misfortune when they were hearing their colleges Jammu Experience. So they should not be let down and they are eagerly expecting that the Government should however extend the relaxation for LTC to Jammu and Kashmir for further Two more years beyond 18th June 2012.

   Sources close to the Government told that Relaxation for LTC travel by air to visit Jammu and Kashmir may be extended for further two more years beyond 18th June 2012 and necessary order will be issued soon.
