Wednesday, September 24, 2014 LAND MARK SC JUDGEMENT –Subhash Chander Chabba
The honorable Supreme Court of India deserves kudos for having delivered a landmark judgement in Vijay Shankar Pandey versus Union of India and others wherein it has been authoritatively held that
“The constitution declares that India is a sovereign democratic republic. The requirement of such a republic is that every action of the state is to be informed with reason.State is not a hierarchy of regressively genuflecting coterie of bureaucracy.
The right of judicial remedies for redressal of either personal or public grievances is a constitutional right of the subjects (both citizens and non citizens ) of this country. Employees of State can not become members of a different and inferior class to whom such right is not available.”
Having spearheaded a crusade against corruption while standing in turbid waters of immorality while seving for over three decades in a premier PSU of State of Punjab,I also got two such show cause notices on grounds similar to those in charge sheet of Sh Vijay Shankar Pandey. My reply to these showcause notices was exactly on the lines and principles which have now been enunciated by the honorable Apex Court.I was awarded punishment of ‘warning’ in both the cases.This punishment was too small compared to the risks perceived by me while following this path of catching the bull of corruption by its horns and it did not deter me from following exposing the modern day dacoits who are pinching the pockets of poor masses without letting them have even an air of the naked loot. Conscientious employees amongst the otherwise spoilt lot can be of immense help in stopping this drift. These employees did not raise their voice for fear of adverse reprisals. The judgement of SC will go a long way to take away this imaginary fear factor and embolden them to raise their voice against wrongdoings apparent to them in their immediate surroundings.

Hello,
Kindly provide me with the following information requested under the purview of the Right to Information Act, 2005 in respect of verifications of Diploma/Degree holder obtained through distance education of DRDO officials. It is observed that there are no laid down procedures following by DRDO labs/Estt for considering such Diploma/Degree obtained through distance education like in DEAL, Dehradun not considering such Diploma/Degree holder employees for LDCE nor endorsing in their service book. Other way round in DRTC assessment these Diploma/ Degree are considering by the assessment board. As per DOP letter No DOP/01/ 03500/ Lumpsum/M/01 dated 11th March 2014, DOP admitted that there no verifications were done for these Diploma/ Degree holder officials of DRDO. In RTI reply letter No RTI/02/2091/F/2013/0016 dated 20 August 2013 DRDO Hqrs accepted that seven officials of DEAL, Dehradun does not possess the recognize diploma and even not from recognized center. In view of this following information is requested.
Copy of approval of competent authority for entertaining such Diploma/Degree holder employees for DRTC assessment 2014.
Copies of DoPT approval for continue such Diploma/Degree holder employees in service.
Provide the number of court cases admitted in various courts filed by Diploma/Degree (obtained through distance education ) holder employees of DRDO in last five years from March 2009-April 2014
Note: the requested information is not come under exemption of schedule -II of RTI Act 2005. Since, March 2014 end DRDO stopped to provide information under shadow of exemption. It is requested in above para-one of this request it is clear cut mentioned the corruption/ favoritism/ abuse of power, so before denial of information your point wise explanation is required that the matter not pertain under corruption.
In DRDO there is no HR policy, although the post of CC R&D HR and a big HR directorate under him working in DRDO Hqrs but they are working with sole aim and object that how to execute and manage the unethical/ unconstitutional demands of DG, DRDO to all establishment heads.
Generally these demands are to adjust their beloved by any means like Smt. T Chandra Bhanu or Ms Geetha or Ms Swati Srivastva or Ms Dolly Bansal recruitment cases. Some cases come out from the four walls of DRDO but inside DRDO everyone knows this practice is continue carryon in DRDO by so called DRDO,HRD like adjustment of Commander Patel, Ex- SA’s daughter, CEPTAM Chairman’s son, Ex- Scientist ‘G’ in DEAL who was head of HRD, DEAL adjust his son Sh Saket Jain with all farzi certificates.
It is very well proven DRDO HRD can do any dam thing under wish of their AAKAS whether harassment of any individual from class IV employee to Scientist ‘H’. There is no moral exists in DRDO, HRD n numbers of examples available of transfers cases, manipulating in ACR/APAR’s, Awards to incompetents, authentication of false claims, list is too long.
The following case of Sh M R Gupta, TO ‘C’ is a clear cut case of dictatorship of DRDO officials, several years torture now Sh M R Gupta become chronic depression case.
Sh M R Gupta joined as JSA-II in 1979 in GTRE, DRDO, Bangalore, transferred to IRDE, Dehradun and subsequently joined DEAL as SSA in October 1987.
Up to 1986 his ACR’s was very good and enjoyed regular growth, but the day when then Director, IRDE Dr O P Nijhawan raised his eyebrow and put him in hit list, the bad days started and Sh M R Gupta’s service journey till date exposes the DRDO HR policy.
His 1987 ACR reflects the real bossism of Mr O P Nijhawan number dropped to 62
As IETE graduate Sh M R Gupta applied for the post of Assistant executive engineer in I & B through UPSC and got selected but Dr O P Nijhawan not supplied his 1987 ACR so he was deprived to get post.
Dr. O P Nijhawan’s effect also passed to DEAL and it was always made confirm that any advantage should not passed to Sh M R Gupta,
Sh M R Gupta qualified 9 times LDCE examination of Scientist ‘B’, the RTI revealed that RAC maintained the boss wishes. No one imagine the act of RAC officials.
Sh M R Gupta‘s ACR/ APAR of 1995 and 96 was found blank.
The 2004 ACR/APAR was reviewed by Sh Y P Sehgal, Ex Sc ‘G’ illegally as Sh M R Gupta was never worked with him and put adverse remark “ Onedisciplinary case is with DRDO Hqrs” and remark was duly approved by the Director, Sh Ashok Sen and it was not even communicated to Sh M R Gupta.
DRDO having very common scenarios that if one official is in hit list then all chamchas never leave any chance to fix him to make happy the boss.
In case of Sh M R Gupta same thing happened, several attempts were done to harm, Dr. B S Jassal throw his wife’s medical bill for unforeseen reason and exchanged heat argument, in those argument frustrated Sh M R Gupta told him that I will jumped from the building, very next movement the explanation call with initiation of disciplinary action raised against him.
In 2004 Sh Mahakar Singh, Sc ‘G’ also demonstrated the extreme loyalty and one incident he scrimmage with Sh M R Gupta in his office room, next moment the room was sealed and an ION was served and an inquiry was constituted in a hurry and stage was set for dismiss Sh M R Gupta. By grace of God Sh M R Gupta approached local police and case was registered, subsequently after lower court to high court and again to lower court Sh Mahakar Singh rendered his apology in front of Session Judge, Dehradun and matter was closed.
This is not a single case, the HR policy ingest lot of DRDO officials by heart attack, High blood pressure, increasing number of bye passes, inserting stunts, depressions or exodus.
You can rate DRDO HR policy 5 stars, 4 stars, 3 stars, 2 stars or 1 star after going through the following papers.
MR. M R Gupta’s 1987’s ACRMR M R Gupta ACR 1987Amazing score card of LDCE, RAC can anyone believe the DRDO HR policy

Jassal, Sc ‘F’, Sh K.Sivakumar, Sc ‘F’, Sf Ajay Malik, Sc ‘E’Sh Mahakar Singh rendered his apology in courtSh Mahakar Singh rendered his apology in court
Health condition of Mr M R Gupta or DRDO HR policy
Following inputs being published for awareness of all DRDO officials. All of them are experiencing the arbitrariness of entire DRDO‘s Lab directors. Every year you all are silent spectators of this arbitrary conduct of the respective lab directors when DRDS or DRTC promotion’s results are declared.
Few days’ frustration looks are seen on the faces of few but again they indulge in the same cycle. If you seriously observe the health condition of DRDO scientists, this time every year a bitter sip of humiliation distorted the life and health conditions of each one.
It is not because of their failure in assessment. It is because of the success of those incompetent / working on non-scientific assignments.
Earlier in days of beginning of 90’s this kind of push pull was not done openly or in a big way. One or two cases were seen in entire DRDO, but nowadays Directors, New born DG’s, DRDO Hqrs beloved boys are fully creating dadagiri and clearing/helping incompetent and ignoring all those who are seriously involved in scientific research and development.
Although the exodus ratio dropout because of two reasons. One, the world economic recession and two, the VIth pay commission hike in pay package of scientists, but this frustration directly affected their output and as well as their daily life. The enthusiasm of young scientists is lost in DRDO and now they are involved to mint money in all means. An example would be like the LTC 80 scam of Metcalf house is a clear signal of the mindset of the new generation of DRDO team.
The following papers are the example of dadagiri of DRDO lab directors. Sh. M R Gupta, TO ‘C’ was joined DRDO in 9 Nov 1979 as JSA – II, subsequently transferred IRDE in 1981 and in 1987 in DEAL, he is IETE graduate (1987), presently he is working as TO ‘C’ in DEAL since 2008. As per normal conditions he is supposed to get a promotion in 2001.
Sh. M R Gupta rested his ACR/APAR through RTI in 2013 from 1987 to 2013 after a long battle CIC ordered to supply all ACR to DRDO on 4th March 2014 vide File No.CIC/LS/A/2013/001815/RM dated 2014 “DECISION – The Commission directed the CPIO to provide copies of ACRs for the period 1987-2007 as sought by the appellant within three weeks from the date of receipt of this order, free of cost”
Now see in followin enclosed document, Sh M R Gupta shocked to see that his two year ACR/ APAR of 1995 and 96 was blank and in 2004 ACR/APAR was reviewed by Sh Y P Sehgal, Ex Sc ‘G’ illegally as Sh M R Gupta was never worked with him and put adverse remark “ One disciplinary case is with DRDO Hqrs” and remark was duly approved by the Director, Sh Ashok Sen and best part of this RTI revealed that it was not even communicated to Sh M R Gupta.
This illegal unethical act done by Sh. Ashok Sen, then Director, DEAL was perfect example of DRDO work atmosphere, which proves that the absolute power made DRDO Lab’s director became autocratic/dictator/tyrant, etc.
This is not the only case you will find this kind of act in the entire DRDO. RTI’s also revealed that in several cases white fluid applied in ACR/APAR, tempering of marks in any stage even after in final stage at DRDO Hqrs.
It is requested to all suffering DRDO officials to please file RTIs with reference to supreme court order of Justice Markandey Katju, in Devi dutt Vs Union of India (CIVIL APPEAL NO. 7631 OF 2002)to confirm your ACR/APAR marks and comments.
One more important observation is that these DRDO Lab’s director also authenticating false claim of work to their beloved incompetent scientists.
Hope with the following example you all will review your promotion profile and analyze the possible flaw in the process of DRDO’s promotion mechanism.
