Dr. Manmohan Singh
Hon’ble Prime Minister of India
Sir,
Sub: - Inclusion of Gramin Dak Sevaks of Department of Posts under
the purview of the proposed Seventh Pay Commission – regarding.
With due respect and regards, we put
forth the following for your kind consideration and favourable decision please.
In the Department of Posts, the 50% of
the total work force are called as Gramin Dak Sevaks and they are continuously
being discriminated by separate committees formed for the consideration of
their wages and service conditions.
The Supreme Court of India declared
that these Gramin Dak Sevaks are holder of civil posts and it is a well settled
law. Despite the judgment, the same civil servant status has not been accorded
yet to them except a part in case of disciplinary proceedings.
The Fourth Central Pay Commission
categorically emphasized that, the GDS issues shall be brought under the
purview of Pay Commissions. But still separate committees are constituted.
The last committee constituted at the
time of Sixth Central Pay Commission caused clear injustice to these employees
and they are deprived all the service benefits at par with civil servants even
though the law of the land declared and settled them as the holder of the civil
posts.
Under these circumstances, we most
humbly request the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India to consider our request and
cause orders to include the GDS of the Department of Posts under the terms of
reference of the Seventh Central Pay Commission.
With profound regards,
Yours sincerely,
