Dear Sir,
I joined in Howrah Divn. /E.R. as appr. PWI III on 08.07.1991 and posted after training in Feb1993. Unfortunately myself lost my vision partially in right eye due to a retinal disease and medical authority after five months declared Decategorised to C1 oin Dec. 2003. sr. DPO/Howrah by screening posted me in post of faculty 'Instructor (Engg.) at 'Signal & telecom training centre/Liluah E.R'. in Feb. 2004.with an assurance that a post of Instructor (Engg.) will be taken sanction from the G.M./E.R. vice a vacant draftsman post of same scale Rs.5000-8000/- But claiming my due Teaching Allowances as per norms and Promotion /ACP on completion of 12 years regular service. Initially no action was taken for few years by the divisional authority.After several appeals upto the CPO level a reply was served by the same officer( Mr. Shyam Kumar) who posted me at STTC/LLH initially when he was at Howrah Divn. with the observations that 1)'posting is irregular without sanction of post' in July 2007. By re-screening myself was further chosen for a J.E. (Workshop/II post in Engg. Wokshop in Howrah Division.But my Principal of STTC did not spared from training centre due to lack of Engineering faculty at that time. oIn april 2009 ultimately I was released from training centre and joined at Divisional Engineering Workshop after that i got a Cadre post.
Now my queries are as follows- 1) May I get any promotion in the new workshop cadre from the backdate year 2004 as since that period vacancies of J.E. I and S.E. and S.S.E. were existing .?
2) If not , may I get the facility of ACP schemes of 12 years as per Vth PC ? If yes , then How and who will consider this? appealed again by claiming it and the related arrears but the divisional authority listens nothing.
3) To clarify the disputes if the administration has no rules for solution then may I take the shelter of Law and Order in the CAT? Yours faithfully

After being a supervisor in IAF, a so responisble job, it is rather strange that you took a highly irresponsible decision reagarding chosing your further career without even asking somebody what the job is about............

Considering that you get GP
Considering that you get GP 3200 at present, GP of SSE is 4600. It is true that after joining as SSE 10-15 years you have to stay there. So decide.
