3. The applicants of this OA have prayed for directions being issued to the Department of Posts to separate the cadres of MTS and Supervisor General lines, who should be excluded from Group "C" category, making all of them distinct in terms of CCS (Recognition of Service Association, RSA, in short) Rules, 1993, and to further direct the respondent- Department for rectification/anomaly in the verification procedure as is being presently adopted by the respondent-department for the purpose of recognition of employees' Unions and Associations.

5. Even though all the 8 applicants have filed this OA with their names and designations, indicating the Unions/Associations which they represent, but no individual Member of any of these Unions or Associations, who is not an office bearer of any one of the Unions/Associations has joined as an applicant of this OA, for joining together along with the representatives of the Unions/Associations.

6. The applicants are aggrieved by the dual membership system alleged to have been adopted by the respondent-Telecom Department, which they have alleged to be discriminatory in respect of the treatment of the employees of Posts and Telegraphs Deptt., and have submitted that if the MTS and Supervisor cadres would not be made separate, they would be aggrieved by the non-compliance of the CCS (RSA) Rules, 1993. The applicants have, therefore, prayed for the reliefs and interim reliefs are as follows:-

"a) to direct the Department of post to separate the cadre of MTS and Supervisor General lines should be excluded from Group C category making all of them Distinct in terms of CCS (RSA) Rules, 1993.
b) to direct for rectification of defect/anomaly in the verification procedure Order dated 09.6.2015 and Modification Dated 23.6.2015 by assuring proper notice and proper supply of letter of authorization to entire employees;
c) consider the case of the Applicants on merits;
"1. That the Applicant No.1 is the Association, registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, is a distinct legal entity, and it can sue and be sued in its name as per provisions of section 6 of the Society Registration Act, 1860. Original Application is being filed against the Letter dated 23.6.2015 whereby the department informed that in view of certain representations, the instructions for verification of membership have been re-examined and the some modifications/additions have been incorporated therein. Therefore the applicants prayed to this Hon'ble Tribunal to direct the Department of Post to separate the cadre of MTS and Supervisor General lines should be excluded from Group C category making all of them Distinct in terms of CCS (RSA) Rules, 1993 and/or to direct the rectification of defect/anomaly in the verification procedure by assuring proper notice and proper supply and letter of authorization to entire employees. The applicants are aggrieved by the dual membership adopted by the Telecom Department discriminately treated among the employees of Postal and Telegraph and if the MTS, supervisor cadre would not be made distinct all Secretaries would be aggrieved by prolonged inaction of the Department for non-compliance of the CCS (RSA) Rules, hence the applicants approaching this Hon'ble Tribunal.
