The issue of resolving the long pending promotion of PS & Hindi Officers was raised. These officers are getting retired without getting any promotion.

We have also discussed the issue of non settlement of the case of Rule-206 i.e. the seniority issue . We have informed the CMD that HR cell of corporate office is delaying the implementation of the judgment of hon’ble high court Chandigarh. the HR cell is moving to various courts on vague grounds and vesting the valuable money of MTNL. It is reliably learnt that MTNL HR cell is working hand in gloves with 45 people. Who have got the benefit of seniority as per the judgment of supreme court of April 2000. We have asked the CMD that whether HR cell of corporate office is to take care of the interest of all SDEs who are senior to these 45 SDEs. We have also demanded from CMD to check the activities of HR cell otherwise MTNL corporate office has to face a very serious situation.

2)The deemed date of permanent absorption of such of the petitioners who seek permanent absorption in BSNL/MTNL shall be 8.12.2005 .

3)The petitioners before this Court are given an option, to be exercised within two weeks from the date of this order, to revert to the Government or to seek permanent absorption in BSNL/MTNL as the case may be;

4)Those Government servants who have already accepted permanent absorption w.e.f. 1.10.2000 will not be entitled to exercise a fresh option in terms of this order;
