Subject: Regularisation of Officiating JTOs in BSNL by Personal Upgradation – Reg

****

Respected Sir,

Kindly refer to this Union’s letters and the discussions the representatives of this union have had with you in the past regarding regularization of the services of JTOs who are working in the various circles in BSNL on officiating basis.  The facts of the case were brought to your kind notice

We are now given to understand that the Hon’ble Punjab Court has dismissed the contempt petition filed against the CMD BSNL and others thys paving the way for an early settlement of this long and vexed issue.

Now the position is that the Limited Internal competitive examination for promoion to JTO cadre has taken place on 2.6.2013 in BSNL.  The results of which are expected shortly. 

However, before the conduct of the aforesaid examination several cases were filed in various Central Administrative Tribunals by the officiating JTOs.  The Hon’ble CAT Ernakulam while hearing the case in OA O 278,378 and 411 of 2013 has averred that the management may conduct the examination however, the results of which are not to be declared till such time the issue of Regularisation of officiating JTOs is resolved.

Similarly, the Principal Bench CAT, Delhi in its order in OA NO 1467 and MA no 1333 of 2013 has also echoed the same and directed the management that the vacancies are to kept reserved for the officiating JTOs till their case is finally disposed.

-2-

This union has proposed in the past for a onetime upgradation of the posts of TTAs i.e. their substantive posts so that the issue gets resolved once for all.    Sir, the Post of  JTO in BSNL is a very pivotal one and the entire field staff depend on the JTO to attend to various works in the field. These officiating JTOs have been discharging their duties as effectively as anyone else and it would be just and fair on the part of the BSNL management to regularize their services.  This does not entail any financial burden on the company as most of them are sufficiently senior.

We therefore request your honor to kindly see that the issue is resolved immediately i.e. well before the results of the LICE held on 2.6.2013 are declared.

With profound regards,

Yours faithfully,

(S.V.S.Subrahmanyam)

General Secretary
