Sub:- Case of regularization of qualified and trained TTAs now officiating as JTOs-reg.
Ref:- This Association’s letter No. AIBSNLEA/CHQ/CMD/2010 dated 17-2-2010.
Respected Sir,
In continuation of our letter dated 23.04.2010, your kind attention is invited to our letter cited and the subsequent discussions we had with you on the above matter.
We have mentioned that no protection was given in the JTO Recruitment Rules-2001, to accommodate TTAs who have already qualified in accordance with the previous RR. A good number of officials qualified as per JTO RR –1996 were given the required pre-appointment training and they are now officiating in the cadre of JTO in various parts of the country.
We have been pursuing the case of regularization of these officials for the past several years. In order to find a permanent solution for this long pending issue, we have already suggested that an amendment to the effect that “ the TTAs already qualified in accordance with 1996 RR (previous RRs) will be deemed to have been qualified under the current RR also” may be incorporated in the present RR so that all the Qualified/ officiating JTOs can be appointed as regular JTOs immediately without any hitches of rules.
However, now it is learnt that, a communication has been issued from your office by the AGM (Pers-IV) vide letter No.3-9/2007/Pers-IV(Pt) dated 26-3-2010, which states that, the case is linked with RA No.148/2009 in CWP No.5608/2007 in High Court of Punjab and Haryana and the matter is sub-judice and no action can be taken in this regard. e would like to inform you that the contents of the above letter issued by the AGM (Pers-IV) is incorrect and misguiding with regard to the matter of one time measure up-gradation of qualified TTAs as JTOs. No court of law has ever issued any order barring BSNL from up-gradation of posts or amendment of RRs etc. The suggestions put forward by this Association and in the matter of regularization, are not against standing orders of any of the court of law in the country and the question of sub-judice does not arise , as nobody has challenged these suggestions in court of law.
Once the matter is settled amicably, all the pending court cases will become in fructuous and will be withdrawn automatically.
We therefore once again request you to kindly take following steps immediately for the settlement of the issues :
1. Do the needful to settle the matter amicably.
2. Do away with the present inert attitude of the Company in the matter of regularization of qualified TTAs as JTOs.
3. Convene a meeting of all concerned at appropriate level to arrive at a logical/ workable solution.
4. Do not permit anybody to manipulate things in favor of some vested interest groups.
With kind regards,
Yours Sincerely,
