Resignation Letter under protest or Duress is no resignation

Resignation Letter under protest or Duress is no resignation: Bombay High Court

Their letter expressing a desire to quit owing to the government’s indifference will not cost two doctors their job, thanks to a Bombay high court order. The state government had challenged an order of the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal (MAT) on January 19 this year allowing two doctors, from the department of obstetrics and gynecology of the JJ Hospital at Byculla, to return to their jobs by holding that the “resignations tendered by the applicants (the two doctors) were under duress and by way of frustration.”
The two doctors, Disha Rajput and Kavita Tilwani, were both lecturers at the state government-run Grant Medical College in 2005 and 2007 respectively. On August 21, 2009, six doctors had submitted a letter to the government stating: “as a protest against government’s apathy and non-action against injustice and humiliation meted to them that they are resigning.”
In the letter, the court recorded, the doctors had stated that the government has taken no steps towards improving the hygiene in the hospital as a result of which patients were becoming prone to bacterial infections. Since the government had not taken any corrective measures for the same despite reminders from time to time, the doctors said in their letter, they were tendering a conditional resignation with a month’s notice. The letter was withdrawn six days after it was submitted. The letter was jointly written by six doctors. However, the government issued relieving orders to only Tilwani and Rajput based on this letter. But prior to Maharashtra chose to accept only two doctors’ resignation and not four other very senior doctors and that there was no explanation given in the affidavit in reply as to why the government had not accepted resignations of other doctors.” Tilwani and Rajput had therefore contended that the action against them was also discriminatory.
The counsel for the state government submitted to the court that the two doctors who had been issued relieving orders were on probation while the other four doctors were permanent employees. Owing the withdrawal letter of August 27, 2009, the aggrieved duo was given a relieving letter on August 26, 2009. The MAT in its findings had recorded that “strangely the government of to that, he said, their cases may have been dealt with differently.
After hearing the arguments, justice PB Majmudar and justice GR Ketkar agreed with the inference drawn by the tribunal and held that the letter written by the doctors cannot be treated as a resignation. “At the most it can be said to be merely an expression of intention to resign in a particular eventuality,” the judges said in their order.
The court directed the government to allow the two doctors to resume their duty latest by April 19.

Fake order on Revision of OTA


FAKE ORDER ON REVISION OF OTA FOR CG STAFF


An adventurous babu arbitrarily announcing increase in overtime allowances to please colleagues in central government offices? The case in question is that of a “fake” order being circulated in these offices on increasing allowances on the basis of a circular issued by the finance ministry on April 1 last. Although a high-level inquiry has been ordered by the finance ministry and the department of personnel and training (DoPT), no clue has yet been found on who was behind the mischief. The office memorandum number 1(4)/2010E-II dated 27/3/2010 was issued by the finance ministry with the signature of under secretary S Rajan Chandranaydu. “The case is being probed by senior officials. But nothing as yet has been found,” a DoPT official said. “The possibility of it being an April Fool prank is also being looked into. But even in such a case, the guilty could face the music,” he said. The official clarified that it had nothing to do with DoPT, which is the nodal department on such issues. “It pertains to the finance ministry and they are probing it,” he said. The issue came to the notice of DoPT after enthusiastic central government officials started seeking details of the hiked overtime allowances, such as the date from which they would become operative. Acting swiftly, DoPT got in touch with the finance ministry, only to discover that the order was fake. To set the record straight, DoPT issued a fresh office memorandum to clear doubts about the veracity of the order. “It is clarified that no such instruction has been issued by either DoPT or the finance ministry. The ministries and departments are advised not to take cognisance of the fake instructions being circulated in central government offices,” the office memorandum signed by DoPT director Simmi R Nakra said.
