...Respondents

OA No. 4579/2017
ORDER (Oral)
Mohd. Jamshed, Member (A):
The applicants are candidates for recruitment against Centralised Employment Notice (CEN) No. 03/2015 issued by the respondents to fill up the vacancies in Non Technical Popular Categories (NTPC) in the Railways. The applicants participated in the selection process in response to the said notification. They appeared in the written examination and were declared qualified. The applicants also gave their preference for various posts in NTPC. A list of candidates for undertaking psycho and typing test was subsequently released. These tests are required to be undertaken by candidates for the posts of Assistant Station Master (ASM) and Traffic Assistant. The applicants also participated in the said typing and psycho test. Cut off lists were released in August, 2017 and shortlisted candidates were called for document verification. It is stated that in order to avoid shortfall of candidates during formulation of panel of recommended candidates, the respondents called 50% extra candidates for document verification. After document verification, however, the applicant did not find place in the list of finally selected ASMs. At the same time, the respondents did not issue any waiting list/standby list. 21 OA No. 4579/2017
2. Later the respondents vide impugned notice dated 27.10.2017 issued a clarification regarding not keeping the standby list for the post of ASM. It was mentioned in the said notice that in view of the implementation of the recommendations of the 07th Central Pay Commission (CPC), the Grade Pay (GP) of ASMs has been revised from Rs. 2800/- to Rs. 4200/- and, therefore, the principle of not keeping the standby list for the posts having GP of Rs. 4200/- has also been extended to the post of ASM and, accordingly, the respondents did not issue any standby list for the post of ASM. Aggrieved by this decision of the respondents, the applicants have filed the present OA seeking quashing and setting aside of the impugned order dated 27.10.2017, direction to the respondents to prepare a standby list for the post of ASMs and consider the applicants for appointment to the said post.
3. The contention of the applicants is that in Para 1.07.02 of the general instructions of the CEN No. 03/2015 it was mentioned that in case of exigencies/shortfall in main panel, the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) prepares a standby list, if required, as per merit and preference given by the candidates placed in the standby list. Accordingly, the respondents should have prepared a reserve panel/standby list for the post of ASMs and the candidates who were called 22 OA No. 4579/2017 for document verification in addition to the selected candidates should have been kept on standby list. However, the respondents instead of doing so, issued notice dated 27.10.2017, which is illegal and in violation of of instructions contained in CEN No. 03/2015 stating that the policy of not keeping the standby list for posts having GP of Rs. 4200/- has been extended to the post of ASM also. The applicants contend that in the previous selections standby lists were prepared for the category of ASMs and that the respondents have deprived them of their right for being placed on a standby list by issuing the impugned notice dated 27.10.2017, which is illegal.
4. The respondents filed counter affidavit opposing the OA. It is stated that the notification issued by RRB No. 03/2015 issued on 26.12.2015 was for recruitment to NTPC (Graduate) posts. This recruitment included different categories of posts including Traffic Apprentice (TA), Commercial Apprentice (CA), Enquiry-Cum-Reservation Clerk (ECRC), Goods Guard, Senior Clerk-cum-Typist, Junior Accounts Assistant-cum-Typist (JAA) etc. and all the posts had different pay scales and GP. Only the post of CA and TA had the GP of Rs. 4200/- at the time of issuance of CEN No. 03/2015. It is stated that the selection was made according to the detailed guidelines prescribed for the candidates. As a 23 OA No. 4579/2017 policy, for the posts of TA and CA which have a higher GP of Rs. 4200/- no standby list is prepared and for the rest of the posts having GP of Rs. 2800/- and Rs. 2000/- a standby list is prepared. This was in view of the fact that any selection from the reserve panel of a lower merit candidate to a post with higher GP shall result in a candidate of lower merit getting finally selected in comparison to the other candidates ranking higher and being selected for other posts with lower GP. On the recommendations of the 07th CPC, the Ministry of Railways has decided to upgrade the GP of the posts of ASMs to Rs. 4200/- from Rs. 2800/- and accordingly the policy of not keeping the standby list for post having GP of Rs. 4200/- i.e. CA and TA was also extended to the post of ASM. It is stated that the notification dated 27.10.2017 was to clarify the position regarding non-maintenance of reserve/standby list for the post of ASM. It is also stated by the respondents that the RRB has the authority to undertake changes/modifications in general instructions in case of policy change. It is also stated that non maintenance of reserve/standby list is not akin to non-filling of the advertised posts.
5. Learned counsel for the applicant has relied upon the judgment of Hon'ble Delhi High Court in The Chairman, DSSSB & Anr. Vs. Ms. Rajni & Ors., W.P. (C) No. 24 OA No. 4579/2017 2552/2012 dated 05.03.2013. However, the facts of the above case are different and the same is not applicable to the present OA which primarily concerns maintenance of standby list for posts with higher GP.
6. Heard Mr. Ajesh Luthra, learned counsel for the applicant and Mr. V. S. R. Krishna, learned counsel for the respondents through video conferecing.
7. The RRB issued CEN No. 03/2015 on 26.12.2015 for filling up vacancies of NTPC graduate posts. Detailed guidelines and instructions for the said examination were indicated in the CEN. This recruitment in NTPC category was for various posts including Traffic Apprentice (TA), Commercial Apprentice (CA) (GP of Rs. 4200/-) Enquiry- Cum-Reservation Clerk (ECRC), Goods Guard, Senior Clerk- cum-Typist, Junior Accounts Assistant-cum-Typist (JAA) (Rs. 2800/-) and Traffic Assistant (GP- Rs. 2000/-) etc. The candidates are required to give their preference for different services. The selection process is also different for different posts. For the post of ASMs,, in addition to the written test, there is a psycho test and a typing test which is to be undertaken by the candidates. The applicants were successful in the written examination and were thereby called for psycho and typing test. Subsequently, for 25 OA No. 4579/2017 undertaking document verification, the candidates equal to number of vacancies plus 50% extra were called for different categories. The applicants were also called for document verification in addition to the main panel of successful candidates.
8. In view of Ministry of Railways accepting the recommendations of 07th CPC, the ASMs were placed in GP of Rs. 4200/- thus the GP of ASMs became at par with that of TA and CA. This was advised, before the formation of final panel vide notice dated 27.10.2017 on all websites of RRB. This policy change before the formation of final panel, thus did not in any way affect the number of vacancies advertised for ASMs in the selection. This was only in relation to the extension of principle of non maintenance of standby list to the category of ASMs whose GP has become at par with that of CA and TA. The category of post of CA and TA with GP of Rs. 4200/- had no provision of any standby/reserve list. The respondents have also provided a rationale behind this decision. It is submitted that any selection from the reserve panel of a lower merit candidate to a post with higher GP shall result in a candidate of lower merit getting selected in comparison to the other candidates ranking higher and being selected for other posts with lower GP.
26OA No. 4579/2017
9. It is not the case of the applicants that they were part of any final panel of this examination and were kept in the standby or waiting list and subsequently not appointed against any shortfall/vacancy in the main list. The subsequent change of not maintaining a reserve list/standby list for the category of ASM is only akin to the other two categories of posts i.e. of CA and TA having the same GP. The notice dated 27.10.2017 is a policy decision and does not in any way take away the rights of any regularly selected candidate.
10. We do not find any illegality or infirmity in the notice dated 27.10.2017 and the reason given by the respondents for not maintaining reserve/standby list for the post of ASM in terms of the said notification. The claim of the applicants that a waiting list should be prepared despite the duly conveyed clarification and the policy decision of the respondents, is not tenable as it has not, in any way, affected their right for not having been selected in the examination for recruitment. The applicants were not successful in the examination and, therefore, their claim for a standby list cannot be sustained.
27OA No. 4579/2017
11. We do not find any merit in the OA. It is, accordingly, dismissed. Pending MAs, if any, shall stand disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.
