3. The Superintendent, RMS D. Division, Post Office Compound Nanakpura, New Delhi - 110 021 ...Respondents 32 Order (oral) Hon'ble Mr. Shekhar Agarwal, Member (A) Today, when the matter was taken up, learned counsel for the applicant has produced a copy of the order of Ahmedabad Bench of this Tribunal in O.A. No. 478/2015. The operative portion of this order reads as under :-
"66. We observe that there are evidence to suggest that in respect of 34 candidates against whom complaints were received, malpractices have been resorted to in a planned manner. We also note that the report of the Vigilance Division discloses disturbing patterns. Incidents of unusual co-incidence indicate an unholy network at work also involving some representatives of M/s. CMC Ltd.
67. The aforesaid discursive exercise prompts us to declare that the letter bearing No. A-34013/05/2014-DE (Chapter-II_ dated 11.12.2015 by which the Director General informed chief Postmaster General, Gujarat Circle that the competent authority has ordered to cancel the PA/SA Direct Recruitment Examination 2013-2014 is not sustainable in law. We further declare that the orders passed pursuant to the letter bearing No. A-34013/05/2014-DE (Chapter-II) dated 11.12.2015 in so far as the same relates to Gujarat Circle are also not tenable in law. Consequently, we quash orders dated 23.12.2015 by which the result of examination for the direction recruitment of PA/SA for the year 2013 & 2014 have been cancelled and the impugned order dated 23.12.2015 by which the services of the applicants were terminated both by the Senior Superintendent of Post Offices of different Divisions in Gujarat Postal Circle.
68. The select list shall be kept in abeyance. The respondents are directed to probe into the matter by thorough investigation in a fair and transparent manner to be undertaken either by Vigilance Wing of the Department or by any suitable Investigating Agency. M/s. CMC Ltd. At appropriate high level should also be involved in the process as they will be able to throw much needed light in the affair. Depending upon the outcome of the probe the respondents shall take appropriate decision relating to operation of the select list in the light of the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Inderpreet Singh Kahlon v. State of Punjab (2006) ii SCC 356 and Joginder Pal & Ors. V. State of Punjab & Ors. (2014) 6 SCC 644. Having regard to the fact that the applicants are out of job, we direct the respondents to complete the whole exercise as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.33
69. In view of our answer to the point No.(i) and (ii), it may be argued that as a consequence of the same, the applicants are entitled to be reinstated into service, but we decline to grant the relief of reinstatement into service for the reason that there are specific allegation against 34 specified candidates in the complaint received by the Public Grievances Cell on 09.4.2015. None of the selected /appointed candidates pleads guilty. As such it is difficult to ascertain who are 34 amongst the selected/appointed. The possibility that all the 34 or some amongst them may have been already appointed cannot be overruled. Such tainted, unscrupulous candidates who are responsible for the present crisis deserves to be seriously dealt with in accordance with law. Hence, we hold that the applicants are not entitled for reinstatement into service till such time the respondents complete the exercise as ordered hereinabove.
70. Before parting with the case, however, we may observe that it is expected that the Secretary, Department of Posts having regard to the magnitude of the matter shall leave no stone unturned to bring the guilty to book. It is their duty to unearth the scam and spare none howsoever high he/she may be. We expect the Department to make thorough investigation into the matter.
71. The OAs are allowed to the aforementioned extent and the directions and observations made hereinabove.
72. In the circumstances, the parties shall bear their own respective costs.'' Learned counsel argued that these cases were squarely covered by the aforesaid judgment of the Tribunal and the applicants herein deserve the same benefits as have been granted to the applicants in O.A. 478/2015. Learned counsel for the respondents also agreed that these cases were squarely covered by the aforesaid judgment. Accordingly, we direct the applicants of these cases shall also be granted the same benefits as have been extended to the applicants in O.A. No. 478/2015. OAs are accordingly disposed of. The C.Ps and M.As also stand disposed of in view of disposal of the O.As.
