CONSIDERATATION
OF COMPASSIONATE ENGAGEMENT ON GDS POSTS TO DEPANDANTS OF GRAMIN DAK
SEVAKS DISCHARGED ON MEDICAL GROUNDS BASED ON PROOF OF INVALIDATION
PRIOR TO 14.12.2010
A
reference is invited to Para 7(d) of this Directorate letter No.
17-17/2010-GDS dated 14.12.2010 wherein it was provided that "this
percentage of 10% shall only apply to cover cases of wards of deceased
GDS and not to GDS acquiring disability during service defined in the
Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995. Section 47 of the Persons with
Disabilities Act, 1995 provides that no establishment shall dispense
with or reduce in rank an employee who acquires a disability during his
service as also no promotion shall be denied to a person merely on the
ground of his disability. In case of a GDS acquiring a disability during
his service and is considered to be unsuitable for the GDS post he was
holding, could be shifted to some other post with the same TRCA." The
ceiling of 10% was further removed with revised provisions under this
Directorate letter No. even dated 01.08.2011.
2. The
issue of allowing compassionate engagements to one of the dependant of
the GDS discharged on invalidation on medical grounds supported by the
invalidation proof has been considered in this Directorate and it has
now been decided to allow considering compassionate engagement to one of
the words of invalidated GDS discharged before the date of issue of
this Directorate letter No. 17-17/2010-GDS dated 14.12.2010 on
consideration of the indigent condition of the family taking recourse to
the application of the same provisions of compassionate engagement and
process as were in force at the time of discharge of the GDS on
invalidation, without a further reference to this Directorate.
3. It
is, however, clarified once again that the provision contained in Para 7
(d) of this Directorate letter No. 17-17/2010-GDS dated 14.12.2010 as
amended may be observed scrupulously and no GDS is allowed to be
discharged on invalidation observing the provisions of Section 47 of the
Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995. In case a GDS acquires a
disability during his service and is considered to be unsuitable for the
GDS post he was holding, he/she may be shifted to some other post with
the same TRCA. If at all some genuine difficulty arises about the nature
of work to be extracted from him and the concerned HOC is personally
convinced of the grounds in individual cases, the Circles may take up
the issue of appropriate cases with the Training Division of this
Directorate.
4. The
instructions contained in Para 7(d) of this Directorate letter No.
17-17/2010-GDS dated 14.12.2010 & the present instructions would
cover the cases of the GDS where a GDS was permitted to be discharged
during the period from 01.01.1996 to 13.12.2010 by the prescribed
appointing authority based on medical invalidation by a medical board of
a Government Hospital and the disability would cover only the
disabilities mentioned and defined in Section 2 of the PWD Act, 1995."
While considering the cases under this provision, Head of the Circle
would personally ensure that only the cases fulfilling the requisite
conditions are considered for compassionate engagement.
5. The
above provisions may be brought to the notice of all concerned for
strict compliance. This issue with the approval of Secretary(Posts).
