Transferred Officers Stand Relieved Today - CBEC is Serious
IT is a major problem for both the Revenue Boards that the officers who are transferred by the Board have scant respect for the Board and many of them stay put and use all their resources for retention or a better posting. And the Boards are usually indulgent, though some periodical noises are made.
DDT 1954 03.10.2012 questioned, "What is the Sanctity of CBEC Transfer orders?"
Now, the CBEC clarifies that all transferred officers stand relieved with effect from 12th October 2012. Of course there are certain exceptions:-
1. Cases where the transfer orders are stayed/set aside by Tribunals/courts.
2. Cases where the transfer orders are stayed or cancelled by the CBEC.
CBEC had by its letter dated 8th September 2012, warned that disciplinary action would be initiated against defaulting officers/controlling officers if the transfer orders were not implemented by 14th September 2012. Why didn't the Board do that?
And what is the guarantee that the fresh instructions would be respected?
