Superintendents Waiting For Promotion - Board Does not have ACRs
MANY badly stagnated Superintendents in the Customs and Central Excise Department honestly believe that their much-awaited promotion is almost at the doorstep. Every day, we get anxious calls from these Assistant Commissioners in-waiting and they get very angry when we tell them that nothing is really happening. Rumours are spread that DPC was held yesterday/will be held tomorrow and orders are expected in a few hours. This has been going on since 2007!
The real position can be gauged from a letter from the Board to all the Chief Commissioners on 3 rd February 2012. The Board wants the ACR dockets of officers from the stream of Superintendent of Central Excise, Superintendent of Customs (Preventive) and Customs Appraisers by 4 th February 2012. On 3 rd February, the Board asks the Chief Commissioners to send dossiers of officers for the period 2002-03 to 2009-10 – and that too by 4 th February! This is after the Board failed to get them in response to its letters dated 08/12/2011, 11/01/2012, 19/01/2012 and 30/01/2012.
And the list sent by the Board contains 545 names! When will the Chief Commissioners send the dossiers and when will these officers get their promotion?
And in the Board's list, at least 30 officers have retired and many are already promoted!
And we are talking of cadre review – they should start with cadre identification.
Inspector Madhukar Zende of the Bombay Police first arrested an accused by name Charles Shobhraj in 1971. By 1986, Charles was an international hero/villain and Madhukar Zende arrested him a second time. Inspector Madhukar of 1971 remained an inspector in 1986 when he arrested world famous Charles Shobhraj for a second time!
