Employee to be heard in case of adverse ACR: CAT

The government has to give an opportunity to its employee to present his case if there is an adverse remark in the Annual Confidential Report(ACR) which could hamper his promotion, the Central Administrative Tribunal(CAT)has said. 
The tribunal passed the order on a petition of a senior scientist, J P Sharma, working with Indian Council of Agricultural Research(ICAR),alleging that he was deprived of promotion on the basis of an adverse ACR without giving him an opportunity to challenge the report. 
The government contended that overall grading in his ACR for last two years was 'average' but denied him the right to representation on the ground that it was 'not adverse'per se. 
But, the tribunal did not agree with the government's view and said the employee has the right to be heard in all cases where his prospect of promotion gets adversely affected due to the 'average' grading as he would get promoted only after getting 'very good' grading. 
"It is the effect which the entry is having which determines whether it is an adverse one or not. Any entry below the benchmark which deprives someone of eligibility for promotion must be informed about and be given a right to representation," the Bench comprising chairman V K Bali and N D Dayal said.

No data on Muslim employees in Central govt jobs: Khurshid

The government today said it does not maintain statistics of Muslim employees in Central government services but it has data for the five minority communities as a whole.

In reply to a written question in the Rajya Sabha, Minister of State (Independent charge) of the ministry of Minority Affairs, Salman Khurshid said, "government does not maintain statistics of employment of Muslims in the Central government services".

Khurshid said the data is not collected minority community wise or service wise by the DOPT but for the five minority communities as a whole.

Change in the colour of the uniform supplied to the eligible officials in the Subordinate offices of the Department of Post

NUPE Postmen & G/R ‘D’/ FNPO had demanded reversion of Postmen & GR ‘D’ Uniform from blue to khaki once again. The issue was under consideration of the department. Now before taking a final decision on this matter, an official meeting has been convened by the department on 3.8.2009. In addition to place our final opinion on the colour of the uniform, the department is asking us about the acceptability of supply of fully-stitched uniform instead of cloth. Based on our experience in the past, we have decided to insist for the supply of cloth only instead of stitched uniforms. The outcome of the 3rd August discussion would be reported through our websites.
