   POSTMASTER CADRE

IN

 DEPARTMENT OF POSTS

Preamble:

              In INDIAPOST, it is a well known designation that POSTMASTER is dear and near to every common man. Postmaster is the face of Department of Posts shouldering  all the responsibilities in delivering all the schemes and goods to the citizens. The Postmaster cadre officials are the only personnel who can not sit in the back office and designed only to lead the post office wherever they are posted.It deserves a better scale and promotional scopes in the present scenario as narrated below and hope the POSTMASTERS shall be dealt best by 7^th CENTRAL PAY COMMISSION.

           1.      Creation of separate Postmaster Cadre in 2010-2011 with Great expectation:

 

This is the first scrutiny by the Pay commission as the  Postmaster Cadre was created after 6 th CPC in Postal Wing in the year 2011-2012 . The following are the version of the Government of India that while introducing the Postmaster Cadre are as follows:

No arrests under anti-dowry law without magistrate’s nod: SC

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday said women were increasingly using the anti-dowry law to harass in-laws and restrained police from mechanically arresting the husband and his relatives on mere lodging of a complaint under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code.

Citing very low conviction rate in such cases, it directed the state governments to instruct police "not to automatically arrest when a case under Section 498A of IPC is registered but to satisfy themselves about the necessity for arrest under the parameters (check list) provided under Section 41 of criminal procedure code".
