Supreme Court to revisit its ruling on SC/ST quota in promotions

A five-judge Constitution bench will examine the limited issue as to whether the 2006 verdict delivered in M Nagaraj and other versus Union of India was required to be re-looked at or not.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to consider whether its 11-year-old judgement dealing with the issue of application of the ‘creamy layer’ for reservation to SC and ST categories in promotion in government jobs needs to be revisited.

The top court said that a five-judge Constitution bench will examine the limited issue as to whether the 2006 verdict delivered in M Nagaraj and other versus Union of India was required to be re-looked at or not.

Big scam in recruitment of postmen in Maharashtra unearthed

MUMBAI: The vigilance department of the Department of Posts has unearthed a mega scam in recruitment for over 2,400 vacancies, in Maharashtra. The Mumbai police registered an FIR in August against Manipal Technologies Ltd (MTL), which had won a bid in 2015 to conduct the recruitment process for postmen, mail guards and other staffers in the postal department. 

The FIR was filed on the basis of a complaint by an assistant post master general in Mumbai and names P V Mallya and other directors of MTL. Dubbing it a big scam, Justice A M Badar of the Bombay high court refused to grant pre-arrest bail to Mallya on November 3.

Now, government to start mapping your address digitally

The government wants to map your address — residential or professional — digitally, something done by Aadhaar for an individual's identification.

The department of posts - which is under the ministry of communications — has ordered a pilot project that will accord a six-character alphanumeric digital address for every property for three postal pin code locations.

The idea is to provide e-locations (like on Google Maps) for the addresses therein and then provide possibilities to link them to other information, such as property title and ownership, property tax records, information on utilities like electricity, water and gas.

The eLoc (e-location) pilot project has been approved for two postal pin codes in Delhi and one in Noida, following which the plan is to identify national expansion plans. The digital identity — say, UV77D7 — will be an e-enabled address that can be used parallelly to the existing postal address.

SC/ST promotion quota verdict under Supreme Court lens

The Supreme Court on Wednesday decided to examine if there was a need to reconsider its decade-old constitution bench judgment making it virtually impossible for the Centre and states to provide reservation in promotion for SCs and STs in government employment.

Within 24 hours of a two-judge bench making a reference on the need for reconsideration of the 2006 judgment in M Nagaraj case to Chief Justice Dipak Misra under Article 145(3) of the Constitution, a three-judge bench of the CJI and Justices A K Sikri and Ashok Bhushan agreed to place the matter before a five-judge bench to examine the bunch of petitions filed by some states and SC/ST employees' associations.

One of the outcome of AIAPS joint memorandum dated 22.09.2017 Further CSI roll out was stopped till set right the CSI issues!!!

Dear All, Secretary Posts reviewed the CSI situation with the Government Business Head of TCS today. TCS has assured that they are working on the technical issues through the weekend and will come up with the status on Tuesday. Based on the report/solution and progress report from the field, a decision will be taken on further course of action. All rollouts may be kept on hold till further notice from Directorate. The immediate priority is to restore operations and accounting to a stable level.  

In the meantime, I would request that please concentrate on pre rollout activities as we will have to accelerate rollout after the technical issues are fixed. Also please take this time to focus on service book digitization which is also lagging. Training may please continue as planned.

There are problems and these have been taken up the highest level. We have to tackle this with patience. Hopefully, a more conclusive status will be posted next week. 

Regards, B.P.Sridevi, DDG Technology.

Respected Sir,   

          1. A kind reference is invited to the above cited directorate letters, vide above reference 1, cadre restructure review committee was constituted to submit the reports/recommendations within 2 months from the date of constituting cadre review committee i.e., within 09^th August 2017.

          2. But unfortunately it seems that even after more than 4 months lapsed, review committee reports are yet to be circulated.

          3. Further vide above reference 2, it is requested to put on hold the Cadre Restructuring exercise wherever it has not been implemented. It is definitely one more blow to our staff side that even after three months lapsed, still that freezing of CR exercise is continuing.
