No.P3/2-  /
Anna Road
                                                                                                dt. 02.03.2012.

To
The Postmaster General,
Chennai City Region,
Chennai 600 002.

Sir,
                                Sub: Irregular casting of Divisional Gradation List  at Anna Road HPO unit
                                         Surpassing the seniority of many seniors by the recently appointed
                                         RRR candidates  and irregular drawing of LR list– Reg.
                                Ref:  1. Our Union letter dt. 09.01.2012 and 31.01.2012 on this subject..
                                        2. The  reply given by the Chief Postmaster , Anna Road dt. 16.2.2012&
                                        24.2.2012 to the  Secretary  of  our Union, Anna  Rd Br.(copy enclosed)
                                                                                                                ooo

A kind    reference  is  invited  to the letters cited under  sl. 1 ,  for  which   the  Circle  Union is requesting  immediate  action    from  your   end.
In the meantime,  when   the  case was taken up  with  the  Chief  Postmaster, Anna  Road  HPO by the   Branch secretary,  it is  replied  in his  letter dt. 16.2.2012  that  TBOP officials should not be  termed as LRPAs, even  if they fall in the ‘junior block’ of the  Divisions, owing  to their entry in  the  new  Divisions. In support  to his argument  he  has  cited  the    letter  dt. 21.12.1999 of the  CPMG, TN, and  stating that no order  is  received   from  Directorate/CO/RO  to include  the officials in the LRPA list, who joined in a Division  under  Rule 38.  You may aware  that  , after  the introduction of MACP w.e.f. 1.9.2008 and after scrapping of  TBOP/BCR,  the   question   of maintaining   separate  seniority to TBOP/BCR  does not arise. All official  will be covered  under  the basic  Rules of  Volume IV and  the  Rule 38 transferred   candidates  would also forms part of  it.

In connection with the    seniority of  RRR candidates,  it is replied by the Chief Postmaster, Anna Road HPO that  the  recently appointed RRR candidates have been inserted in the  gradation list , with reference to their  date of appointment, as per  CO letter  dt. 28.3.2011. In this connection, our Circle Union already pointed  out  clearly    vide  our   letter  dt. 09.01.2012 that as per  CPMG,TN Circle Lr. No.STA/29-RRR/10 dt. 28.03.2011, 

       i)    the  date of joining by a person appointed on compassionate grounds shall be
              treated as the date of his/her ‘regular appointment’      
                                                                  
iii)  the inter-se seniority of  persons appointed on compassionate  grounds may be fixed with ref. to  their date of appointment and their interpolation with the direct recruits/ promotees may also be  made with reference to their  dates of appointment ‘ without disturbing the inter-se seniority of direct    recruits/promotees’.

Hence, we request the PMG, CCR to look into this case immediately and set right things as requested
by us and as per the basic rules of the Department, since the RT is fast approaching and many seniors
will be affected badly, if things are further delayed.
Expecting kind action in this regard . A line in reply is much requested.

Thanking you Sir,
With regards,

(J.RAMAMURTHY)
Circle Secretary.
