DEBATE- RETIREMENT AGE
With the BJP government in Haryana lowering
the retirement age of state government employees from 60 to 58 years,
it is being rumoured that the next in line will be Delhi government
(after the polls) before being implemented by the central government
in the months to come. How far is it fair ?

DEBATE (1) Cheating Tom to pay Paul
Reducing retirement age from 60 to 58 will be like "Cheating Tom
To Pay Paul".
K B
DEBATE (2)
It has been the unfounded news in the media that Government has been
considering to reduce the retirement age from 60 years to 58 years since
it took over. DP&T, at one stage, had to come out with the statement
that it has no proposal to reduce the retirement age. Now the so called
unconfirmed news has surfaced again. It may be mentioned, in this connection,
that the earlier BJP Government led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee has increased
the retirement age from 58 to 60 years. It will be like reversal of
earlier BJP policy and against the interests of Government employees
who are fit to serve and contribute in the well being of the nation.
Retirement age was increased keeping in view the longevity of the persons.
Moreover, when the employees are prepared to mould themselves according
to the changed environment in the Government, there seems to be no logic
for the Government to reduce the retirement age. This is a debatable
issue and it will be better to refer this issue to the Seventh Pay commission
who may take a view in consultation with the Staff Unions.
V P Sharma
Good, salaries also need to be rationalised. It is ripe time for
a national age/wage policy.

Unreasoned CVC advice
Central Vigilance commission is an important institution. This institution
has been created to provide safeguard to the govt. officers from prejudiced
penal / vigilance actions by govt. Therefore, it has been made obligatory
for the govt., to first obtain advice of CVC, before initiating vigilance
proceedings. However, in practice, CVC gives advice in one line that
'it agrees with the proposal of govt. for vigilance action'. Thus this
is a non-speaking agreement. Such non-speaking agreement/ views of CVC
prejudices the interests of govt. servants. The govt. servants never
knows what was put up before CVC and how CVC was satisfied. Such non
speaking advices are against the law laid down by PC /SC etc. laying
down the rule of law that even administrative orders should be speaking
ones.
Will employees union / federation take cognizance of this situation
and fight for bringing out change in practice of CVC and getting non-speaking
unreasoned advices annulled by filing PIL?
Will Court take suo motto cognizance and annul all such advices which
are against the law ?
Will new govt. ensure fairness by initiating action to ensure that
employees interests are protected in substance through speaking and
reasoned advices and not in form by just showing the govt. servant that
formality of obtaining CVC advice has been completed.
Will CVC justify through this website why they do not give reasons for
agreeing with the proposal of govt. for initiating vigilance action
against the govt. servant.

Railways itself is responsible
Refer Vox Populi comment in Whispers today. The discontent is natural
when the gap is getting so widened. But who is responsible? Railways
themselves are pushing their officers behind. Recently one officer of
the 1990 batch requested for forwarding her name to DoPT for empanellement.
She was told no they are still at 1986.The ways of Railway Board are
strange. They will refuse posting to an officer in the Railway Board
as they want him to do ,cooling off' since me from a posting on Deputation
from railways' own PSU. They will on the other hand post another officer
at the same level in Railway Board, by even transferring an element
from somewhere, who had spent 7 years in one corporation, goes to another
deputation in Govt. of India without mandatory cooling off period. Government
has changed but things remain as bad in the Railways as hitherto not
withstanding the able leadership at the top. Writing on the proposed
exercise on restructuring I had in fact detailed what needs to be righted
in my article which appeared in the Statesman of 19th and 20th of Nov.

DATE WITH RTI

Personal information of a government employee
The appellant asked for the service details of a teacher regarding
her date of joining the service, her present residential address
and her salary certificates, etc. During hearing before the CIC,
the teacher submitted that the information seeker is her husband
who is harassing her. She raised objection to the disclosure of
information to the appellant, saying that it is her personal information.
The CIC held that information about salary and official address
of public servant is public in nature and shall be disclosed to
any person including spouse. Salary details including deductions
contained in Salary slip or certificate and residential address
of the public servants is personal information, and also third
party information. Only after proof of larger public interest
such information also can be given. Filing of 50 RTI applications
reflects the personal animosity but not public interest.
Comments
Cases where spouses are seeking information about each other are
now increasingly coming to notice. They may be involved in marital
disputes and cases both civil and criminal, may be filed mutually
against each other. They can also seek information to help them
to prove or disprove the charges. However, it must be born in
mind that information unconnected with the discharge of public
duties should not be provided unless the disclosure establishes
a larger public interest.
