Narendra Modi,                                                                                             Prime Minister, Room No.152,                                                                                                       PMO, South Block, New Delhi-110011.

Subject:     ‘Appeal for Justice’.

Respected Sir,

Very humbly, I submit as under:

  1. I, Dr. Rohidas Gopinath Taware was working as a Group ‘A’ Gazetted officer with designation Technical Officer ‘B’ in High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL), Pune- 411021, DRDO, Ministry of Defence. My educational qualification is M.Sc., Ph.D., MBA, PGDEE (Post Graduate Diploma in Ecology and Environment). I have completed 27 years’ of satisfactory service in HEMRL. My entire service record is spotlessly clean.

I hail from a much respected family. My father was a Freedom Fighter and a brave soldier of Azad Hind Sena.

  1. I had submitted timely my grievances to Dr. A Subhananda Rao, Director, HEMRL, Pune regarding my harassment. But no cognizance was taken by him.

I made earnest ‘Appeal for Justice’ on 09.01.2008 to the Director of Personnel (DoP), DRDO, Ministry of Defence, New Delhi regarding my grievances along with supporting documents. I had written a letter on 04.05.2009 to DoP regarding my ‘Harassment by Ostracism’ in HEMRL, Pune. The DoP, too, did not take any cognizance of my grievances and harassment.                          

  1. Instead of considering the gravity of my grievances and harassment by ostracism, Dr. Arun Kumar, the Director of Personnel, all of a sudden, suspended me on 08.2009 by fax order. So, I lodged my protest on 26.08.2009 against the illegal suspension order issued by the DoP.
  1. There is a big conspiracy in DoP office of DRDO from my suspension to dismissal from the service. The Director, HEMRL gave false information to DoP that I was involved in “High-Handed Anti- Departmental Activities”, “the Laboratory has come to a stand still vulnerable position”, “the working of the Laboratory is badly dislocated” and “all officers are in demoralized state”.

The DoP office without any preliminary Inquiry proceeded against me and arranged for my suspension and further dismissal. Thus, the Director HEMRL and DoP joined hands against me and were bent upon to see that I was dismissed from service on 30.12.2010 for the reasons best known to them. The suspension to dismissal charges are not related to each other. Further, penalty of dismissal is horribly disproportionate to the charges leveled against me.

  1. The charges leveled against me for my dismissal like ‘tone and tenor of letter’ are trifling, false and fictitious.
  2. I wish to point out legal points regarding my suspension to dismissal which show that how the Principles of Natural Justice were blatantly violated.
  1. Two separate Memoranda, two separate Disciplinary Inquiries.
  2. Second Inquiry initiated for alleged misconduct during my suspension period when I was not on duty.
  3. Two separate Penalties simultaneously, First Minor & Second Major.
  4. Second penalty was awarded without cancelling first penalty.
  5. No revocation of suspension when first minor penalty was awarded.
  6. Second penalty of Dismissal awarded while under suspension.
  7. Both the penalties horribly disproportionate to the charges.
  8. All the orders from suspension to dismissal illegal. Approval from Rajya Raksha Mantri (RRM) taken instead of Raksha Mantri. Signatory to the orders not authorized under Art.77(2) of the Constitution.          
  1. After dismissal order, I have done a lot of correspondence with the Competent Authority of DRDO for my illegal suspension, illegal punishments including my dismissal and for the settlement of Government dues i.e. rightful amount. But no cognizance was taken by them. This is also the intentionally harassment of me and my family.
  1. I had submitted ‘Appeal for Justice’ to the Competent Authority of the DRDO for my grievances and harassment. But instead of taking any cognizance, suitable action or giving any justice for the same, they have horribly punished me.

It means, ‘Asking for Justice is a Crime’ in DRDO! The Competent Authority of DRDO unnecessarily constrained me to file a various suits in the Hon’ble Courts for the Justice. After the dismissal order, I am jobless. I am highly qualified with 27 years well experienced officer from DRDO but disqualified for any service in the society because of my additional qualification is ‘Dismissal’ which was illegally and unauthorized awarded by the Competent Authority of DRDO. Hence, in all respect, this is very serious harassment and punishment for me.

  1. Sir, I have mentioned all the above irregularities and illegalities, involved in my suspension to dismissal, for your perusal please. I pray and request you to look in to the case and give me justice.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

Place: Pune

Parliament Question No 789 Regarding DRDO Projects

Leave a comment

Dear friends please go through the parliament question 789 asked by Hon  Shri  Nishikant Dubey and others regarding DRDO projects. Our Hon Defence Minister Shri Manohar Parrikar answered the question as a same way like Ex defence Minister Sh A K Anthony because both only read the paper supplied by Dr. J.P. Singh, Scientist ‘G’ Director of Parliamentary Affairs. As a matter of fact Dr. J.P. Sigh is highly qualified scientist of DRDO with M.Sc. (Physics), MLISC and Ph.D. but since several years he is posted at DRDO HQ and looking after Parliamentary Affairs in DRDO. Dr. J.P. Singh was promoted as Scientist ‘G’ wef 01 July 2012 and having seniority no. 346 among all Scientist ‘G’ of DRDO as seniority roll as on November 2013,  still by superseding all his seniors he was appointed as Director, Dte of Parliamentary Affairs , DRDO HQ with blessings of his God Father.

You all be happy to see the answer same old story repeating since last 15 years friends we have great hope from Shri Manohar Parrikar because he is IIT’ans but without investigating the answer supplied by Dr. J.P. Sigh he state read same way like Sh A K Anthony.

It is requested that to our Defence Minister please see the answers earlier given by Sh A K Anthony on same matter. Also request don’t believe the reply given by Dr. J.P. Sigh some time he also not know the real facts, he only does galvanizing the inputs. We want to see the difference between technical qualified politician with other one. It will the great loss for our country if DRDO incompetent scientists are able to bluff the technical sound person like Parrikar ji.

(a) & (b): Project-wise details regarding original and revised date of completion, sanctioned cost, expenditure made during last three years and current year along with reasons for delay in completion of major ongoing projects of DRDO is attached at Annexure `A`.

(c): The following corrective/remedial measures have been taken/being taken to complete ongoing projects in-time.

# Consortium approach is being used for design, development and fabrication of critical components

# Three-tier project monitoring approach has been instituted in the major projects.

# Project Monitoring Review Committee (PMRC) and Project Appraisal and Review Committee (PARC) meetings are held regularly to monitor the progress of ongoing projects.

# Concurrent engineering approach has been adopted in technology intensive projects to minimize time-lag between development and productionisation of the systems.

# Information Technology and modern management techniques are being applied.

# Encouraging joint funding by users to ensure their commitment towards earliest completion.

# Promoting synergy and better co-ordination among User Services, DRDO and production agencies through cluster meetings.

(d) Yes, Madam. DRDO has already established seven Centers of Excellence in various disciplines and taken initiative to establish the following four more Centers in the areas of interest to defence.

# Bi-nodal Center of Propulsion Technologies (CoPT) at IIT, Bombay.

# Jagdish Chandra Bose Center for Advanced Technology (JCBCAT) at  Jadavpur University, Kolkata.

# Joint Advanced Technology Center  (JATC) at IIT, Delhi.

# Center for Advanced Materials &  Electromagnetics (CAMEL) at IIT,  Jodhpur.

(e) No, Madam. The present policy relating to appointment of scientists in DRDO is functioning effectively. However, there is shortage of scientists in DRDO as there has been no increase of scientific manpower since 2001 while a number of projects have grown multifold in terms of size and technological complexity over the past fifteen years. DRDO has initiated a Cabinet Note for augmentation of manpower by 1316 posts (1260 scientists and 56 works cadre Officers). These are proposed to be filled in phased manner in three recruitment years.
