1. This order shall dispose of twenty(25) OP(CAT)s preferred by the Union of India against the order of the Central Administrative Tribunal whereby it was held that the applicants were entitled to the benefits with regard to the fixation of their TBOP and pensionary benefits.
2. The question of facts and law involved are common in all the matters, therefore are being disposed off together. In order to overcome the shortage of staff due to absenteeism and other causes, Director General of Post and Telegraph issued a letter dated 30.10.1980 introducing a scheme for the Reserve Trained Pools with the following highlights:
a. A standing pool of trained reserve candidates should be formed in each recruitment unit to meet the 2025:KER:9604 OP (CAT) NO. 189 of 2018 & Conn. cases 137 regular as well as emergent needs of manpower in Post Offices and RMS Offices.
b. After the main list is drawn up, a specific additional reserve list of candidates equal in number of 50% of the number of candidates in the main select list will be drawn up. The candidates in the reserve list will also be imparted training like the candidates in the main list. The candidates in reserve list, after training will constitute a standing pool of trained reserve.
c. They will be absorbed in regular vacancies in their turn, after the candidates in the main list are absorbed.
d. Excepting those who are brought on to the main list against drop outs, the remaining will be surplus recruits whose service will be utilized as short duty staff. The surplus recruited candidates will be given priority of absorption against vacancies for subsequent recruitment.
e. The vacancies for the subsequent recruitment may be computed in the prescribed manner and the number of reserve candidates from the previous recruitment will be adjusted against them first before the process of recruiting the remaining required number of candidates is commenced.
f. Before the recruitment process for the subsequent recruitment is commenced, the list of reserve candidates excluding those who have been brought to the main list against drop outs will be complied by 2025:KER:9604 OP (CAT) NO. 189 of 2018 & Conn. cases 138 each Divisional Superintendent and sent to the Head of the Circle along with the information regarding the number of vacancies in the outsider's quota for the subsequent recruitment. The Head of the Circle will scrutinize the information received and accord sanction for the appointment of the candidates from the reserve list against the vacancies for the subsequent recruitment.
g. The strength of the reserve list is to be determined with the twin objective of reduction of vacancies at any point of time to the bearest minimum (nil if possible) and avoidance of inordinate delay in the absorption of the reserve candidates in regular employment.
3. The aforementioned Scheme had undergone certain change and vide communication dated 18.06.1982, following clarifications were issued:
a. The strength of the RTP (Reserve Trained Pool) may normally be fixed at 15% of the sanctioned strength of the establishment, excluding the leave reserve posts.
b. If for any reason, the reserve candidates of a particular Division have to wait for a considerably long time for absorption in regular vacancies, there is no objection to consider their absorption in other divisions where regular vacancies are readily available provided that such a course does not interfere with the absorption of 2025:KER:9604 OP (CAT) NO. 189 of 2018 & Conn. cases 139 the reserve candidates of those divisions. This however should be done with the approval of the Heads of Circles who will carefully examine the vacancy position, the strength of the reserve list and other relevant factors before permitting diversion of reserve candidates from one unit to another.
4. Again, the RTP Scheme had undergone a review by virtue of communication dated 08.03.0983 which highlighted the following points:
a. If reserve candidates recruited in a particular year are waiting for absorption, at the end of the year, they will have to be given preference for absorption against vacancies of the succeeding year against the direct recruitment quota. In that case, the new recruitment for the succeeding year will have to be suitably regulated. If no vacancies at all are available in the succeeding year, after accommodating the reserve candidates of the previous year, there may be no objection to declaring token vacancies so that fresh RTP may be built up in the succeeding year in order to meet the vacancies on account of absenteeism.
5. All the respondents - applicants were selected for appointment as Postal Assistant and were placed 2025:KER:9604 OP (CAT) NO. 189 of 2018 & Conn. cases 140 in the Reserve Trained Pool between the period from 1982 -
1984. They were required to undergo training at Postal Training Centre, Mysore, and after successful completion of training, were engaged as Postal Assistant in different divisions. As and when the vacancies earmarked had arisen, were required to be absorbed on regular vacancies. But having not granted regular appointments, were put at a loss of four(4) to five(5) years of service and were granted the financial upgradation under the Time Bound One Promotion (TBOP) and Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme (MACP) by taking the date of regularization as the date of entry in the service.
6. In the year 1984, there was a ban on recruitment and under the guise of the said ban, the respondents had taken up various litigations initiated on this aspect of not absorbing the postal assistants placed under the Reserve Trained Pools. The aforementioned disgruntlement was expressed by similarly situated persons before the Central Administrative Tribunal in various O.A.s and in O.A.No.79 of 2025:KER:9604 OP (CAT) NO. 189 of 2018 & Conn. cases 141 2011 decided on 01.10.2013, considering the period spent in the Reserve Trained Pool, by granting the benefit of TBOP and MACP. The aforementioned order was assailed before this Court in OP(CAT)No.114 of 2014 and vide judgment dated 17.03.2017, petitions filed by the Union of India were dismissed and the matter was taken up in Supreme Court which was also dismissed on 10.11.2017. In the meantime, many other Benches, ie., Double Bench of CAT and various other authorities also followed the suit. Matter also reached in various High Courts of Hyderabad and Telangana. By noticing all these facts, learned Tribunal, vide order under challenge, disposed of the O.A.s in the following manner:
8. The applicants in OAs Nos. 180/460/2015, 180/359/2017, 180/372/2017, 180/377/2017 and 180/385/2017 contend that despite they having made representations the Department was not inclined to grant the benefit of the judicial precedents in the aforesaid order of those Tribunals which were subsequently upheld by the superior courts. The Department was taking a stand that as the applicants in the aforementioned OAs are not parties to the orders passed by the different Benches of the Tribunal they are not obliged to implement the orders to the applicants herein.
2025:KER:9604 OP (CAT) NO. 189 of 2018 & Conn. cases 142
9. We notice that Annexure A4 order of this Bench was affirmed by the Hon'ble High Court of Kerala in OP (CAT) No. 114 of 2014 vide judgment dated 17.3.2017, a copy of which is marked as Annexure A5. It is seen that the respondents Department took the matter in SLP before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India and that the same was dismissed by the apex court vide Annexure A6 order dated 10.11.2017 stating that no case for interference with the impugned judgment has been made out.
10. That being the position, it is now clear that by virtue of Annexure A4 order of this Tribunal, affirmed by Annexure A5 judgment and Annexure A6 order of the High Court of Kerala and the Supreme Court of India respectively, the right of the candidates appointed under RTP scheme for being accommodated notionally against the vacancies that were being lying unfilled from 1984 onwards and thereby getting the period of such service rendered by the RTP candidates for reckoning the period of 16 years of service for grant of TBOP benefits was vindicated. Nevertheless, it was clarified in Annexure A4 order that for the purpose of MACP, RTP candidates are entitled to count only the period of their regular service reckoned from the date of their regular appointment as Postal Assistants/Sorting Assistants,
11. In OAs Nos. 180/460/2015, 180/359/2017, 180/372/2017, 180/377/2017 and 180/385/2017 besides their plea for reckoning their service in the RTP for the purpose of conferment of TBOP, the applicants seek the relief of fixing their seniority right from the date of their recruitment as RTP candidates. The respondents resist 2025:KER:9604 OP (CAT) NO. 189 of 2018 & Conn. cases 143 this relief contending that if seniority is to be fixed retrospectively from the date of their selection as RTP candidates, the same would upset the rights acquired by the existing Postal Assistants.
12. It is settled position that raking up of old matters of seniority is likely to result in administrative complications (see K.R. Mudgal & Ors. v. R.P. Singh & Ors. AIR 1986 SC 2086 and Tilokchand Motichand v. H.B. Munshi-AIR 1970 SC 898).
13. Therefore, we are of the view that the applicants cannot rely on the afore-mentioned judicial precedents including Annexures A4, A5 and A6 to fortify their claim of seniority from the date of their selection as RTPcandidates. However, we are of the view that in the light of Annexures A4, AS and A6 judicial decisions the applicants in these cases on hand are entitled to the benefits of those decisions especially in relation to the fixation of their TBOP and pensionary benefits. As the Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme (for short, MACPS) envisages regular service as a threshold requisite, we hold that for claiming benefits under the MACPS the service rendered by the applicants in the above cases shall be counted only from the date of their regularisation as Postal Assistants/Sorting Assistants. In order to cut short further litigations we direct that the respondents shall grant the benefit of Annexure A4 order of this Tribunal to all the applicants in the afore-captioned OAs and also to the other similarly situated persons who have not approached this Tribunal so far.
14. With the above directions, we dispose of these 2025:KER:9604 OP (CAT) NO. 189 of 2018 & Conn. cases 144 Original Applications. The respondents shall grant the monetary benefits to all RTP candidates in terms of the above order within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Parties shall suffer their own costs."
7. Sri.T.V.Vinu, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Union of India started the argument challenging the action by stating that different High Courts have given different view.
8. Sri.M.R.Hariraj, learned senior assisted by Adv.Rekha Vasudevan brought to the notice of this Court, a memo dated 10.06.2024 wherein the Postal Directorate, New Delhi, was directed to implement the common order of the Hon'ble High Court of Telangana State in W.P.No.17400 of 2016 and W.P.No.17425 of 2016 against the common order of CAT Hyderabad bench dated 15.04.2015 in O.A.No.779 of 2013 and O.A.No.780 of 2013, according the benefit of service rendered by the similarly situated persons in the RTP ie., in the Reserve Trained Pool, for the purpose of granting TBOP and MACP Scheme. Even the Headquarters, Ministry of 2025:KER:9604 OP (CAT) NO. 189 of 2018 & Conn. cases 145 Communications Department of Posts, New Delhi, have also issued a communication for implementation of the common order of High Court of Telangana in the following manner:

In this view of the matter, we do not find any illegality and perversity. All the O.P.(CAT)s stand dismissed.
