SRINAGAR, Oct 26: The Jammu Kashmir All Departments Clerical Staff Association (Ministerial Fed) has appealed the Lieutenant Governor to reconsider amendments executed in Article 226(2) of J&K CSR by removing ambiguity and apprehensions of misuse of undefined provision of SO-324 of October 2, 2020.
An urgent meeting of Jammu Kashmir All Departmental Clerical Staff Association ( JKADCSA) was held today under the chairmanship of Jeelani Naik, its president. The agenda of the meeting was to address the uncertainty and fear among the employees due to recent amendments. The meeting was attended by all the Executive members and District presidents along-with their district representatives, members including Mir Mir Muzaffer, Mir Basharat, Gowhar Habib, Riyaz Ahmad, Asif Habib, Mushtaq Ahmad Baba, Basharat Ayaz, Javaid Ahmad Wagay,Towseef Ahmad Ganai,Nazir Hussain Dar, Shabir Ahmad Bhat, Khazir Mohammad Bhat, Zahoor Ahmad Bhat, Javaid Ahmad Sofi, Farooq Ahmad Dar and others.
All the members claimed that these amendments have shrunk the constitutional flexibility under the ambit of natural justice as guaranteed by the constitution of India under Article 14 and Article 16. They unanimously voiced against the narrow and undefined criteria for such premature retirement as amended and recorded under Rule (j) from sub-rule (i) to (vi). They termed this move anti-employee.
They said instead of providing assured career progression to the Ministerial cadre, the Government has now kept a sword of uncertainty on the heads of employees, who can also be exploited/targeted by some superiors, as the grounds/board criteria for such compulsory/premature retirement have not been explained thoroughly and there is ambiguity at large and fear of indiscrimination among the employees, which needs proper clarifications. They appealed to the Lt Governor to review the decision of the J&K Administration.
