A boisterous scene in the
campus of IIT Madras
at Chennai
Part III
(in continuation of the earlier two Presentations)
9 May 2014
TIME:
FIRST WEEK OF MAY, 2014
PLACE:
ADMINISTRATIVE WING OF THE IITM
CAST:
THREE OFFICERS
9 May 2014
¡°Ha ha! Ha ha! Ha ha!¡±
¡°Heh he! Heh he! Heh he!¡±
¡°Hoh ho! Hoh ho! Hoh ho!
Hoh hoh ho! Hoh Hoh ho!¡±
9 May 2014
Noise of three officers laughing aloud
reverberates the entire area around
the administrative wing. .
We peep in.
The noise becomes louder with every
passing moment.
9 May 2014
¡°Yeah! It serves them right!
Hah hah haa! Hah hah ha!
The Promotion Notice is now on the
website. It serves them right!¡±, says Mr. A.
9 May 2014
¡°Yeah! The timing is perfect! This is May! We have published
in our website the Promotion Notice for the post of Junior
Superintendent. Nobody can go to Court now and ask for
stay¡±, said Mr. A.
¡°Yes, yes! This being the period of vacation, it is difficult for
anyone to move the High Court and get stay¡±, said Mr. B.
¡°But, we must be alert. We have announced that the last
date for submission of application is 23.05.2014. That was a
tactical move on our part¡±, said Mr.C.
¡°Tactical move? People say it was a cunning move on our
part. But, why should we care? We must hold the so-called
written examination immediately and conduct the interview
also on the same day. We must publish the result also on the
same day and make the people of our choice join duty before
31.05.2014. We must act fast¡±, says Mr. A.
? Hah hah ha! Why bother yourself about it? We have already
done so in the case of Superintendents in February 2014. We
can do so again. And again and again. Nobody on earth can
question our motive¡±, said Mr. C.
? ¡°But, people, now a days, have understood our motive and
have the temerity to challenge it too. That is what is
shocking¡±, said Mr. B.
? ¡°Why do you bother about their understandings or
awareness. As long as we are able to continue with our
irregularities without being questioned by the MHRD, we can
do whatever we want¡±, said Mr. C.
? ¡°The very act of rushing through the promotion process is
the indication of our mala fide motive. But, nobody can
prevent us from doing what we want. This IIT has been
given to us and we can play with it in any manner that we
choose¡±, said Mr. A.9 May 2014
? ¡°Hah hah hah haa! These people do not
know how omnipotent we are. We have
become experts in committing so many
irregularities for the past twenty years
that committing irregularities has
beecome a habit for us now¡±, said Mr.
A.
9 May 2014
¡°I only feel concerned that our staff members have become
courageous to question our actions in the Court of Law. It
becomes difficult for us to defend ourselves there¡±, said Mr.
C.
¡°Do not worry about court cases! As long as we do not file
counter-affidavit, we need not fear court cases¡±, said Mr.
A.
¡°But, how long can be pull on without filing counter-
affidavit?¡±, said Mr. B, with real concern.
¡°Why do you worry about it again? Just call for the list of
cases in which we have not filed counter-affidavit for
months and years and years. That list itself will give
adequate encouragement to you and embolden you not to
file counter-affidavits for a very long time. Hah hah hah
haa!¡±, said Mr. A, rolling with laughter.
9 May 2014
¡°I am happy that we have such a nice strategy. As long as
courts do not pull us up, we can commit any kind of
irregularity and escape accountability. Moreover, we have
now got power delegated by the Board of Governors to
the Director to make ?administrative changes? in the
educational qualification and experience. So, we can
hereafter do whatever we want¡±, said Mr. B.
¡°No. You are not well-informed. The Board cannot give
power to the Director through Resolution. Any power given
to the Director must come to him only through Statutes. If
the Director invokes the power conferred on him through
the Resolution of the Board, it would be in violation of Sec.
17 (4) of the Institutes of Technology Act, 1961. We would
be pulled up. Yet, we do not care for those provisions,
because our MHRD is with us. Hah hah haa!¡±, said Mr. C.
9 May 2014
? ¡°If you take action to run the Institute as per
law, you must amend the Statutes to aler the
Conditions of Service and then you must obtain
the approval of the Visitor for that, before
enforcing that amended provision. Sec. 27 (3) of
the Institutes of Technology Act, 1961 says so¡±,
said Mr. A.
? Mr. B looked puzzled. He could not understaand
what Mr. C was saying. He asked, ¡°Visitor? Who
is that Visitor? Why should we get the approval
of the visitors for our Statutes?¡±
? ¡°Hah hah haa¡±, laughed Mr. A. ¡°Hoh hoh hoh
hoh ho¡±, laughed Mr.C.
9 May 2014
? Mr. C composed himself then and said to Mr.
B, who felt annoyed at being laughed at by
his colleagues,
? ¡°Dear friend, I do understand your question.
I do not blame you. The way we have been
functioning here, we have forgotten the very
existence of the Visitor. All our amendments
to the Statutes must be approved by the
Visitor, the President of India, as per Sec. 27
(3) and (4) of the I.T. Act, 1961. Have you
forgotten that?¡±
9 May 2014
Mr. B felt a sense of relief. ¡°Oh! That Visitor? I have
really forgotten about his existence. Anyway, we
never read the Act and Statutes while making
recruitments or giving promotions. None of our
actions in new recruitments and promotions of the
teaching and non-teaching faculty was as per the
provisions of these Act or Statutes, for the past
twenty years. We never amend the Statutes in the
matter of appointments. Naturally, the way all of us
have forgotten the existence of the Act and the
Statutes, I had forgotten the existence of Visitor too¡±,
said Mr. B.
9 May 2014
¡°Yes, we never amend the Statutes. We just
get Resolutions passed by the BOG and
enforce it. It is plain unlawful. But, because
the MHRD which channelises Government
money to us does not worry about it, we are
free.¡±, said Mr.C.
Mr. A interjected to console B who, however,
had some sense of embarrassment at his
own ignorance.
9 May 2014
¡°Oh, Mr. B! Do not worry so much about
your lapse of memory. We do not worry
even about the Court Judgment which pulled
us up and ordered that we should not
choose the Resolutions path without
amending the Statutes and obtaining the
approval of the Visitor before hand. We are
consciously violating Sec. 17 (4) and Sec. 27
(4). Nothing happened to us till date. Why
worry then?¡±, said Mr. A.
9 May 2014
¡°Court Judgment? What judgment is it?¡±, aksed Mr. B.
¡°It is the judgment of the Hon?ble High Court of Chennai in
the case filed by our faculty Mr. R. Krishnamurthy. The
judgment had been delivered on 14.10.2003. It was about
ten years ago. The Court explained the legal position to us.
The court did not approve our stand that the Resolutions
were enforceable in the matter of conditions of Service.
The Court advised us to amend Statutes before doing
whatever we wanted to do. But, we did not care. We are
doing just what were doing and we are doing whatever we
want to do. Nobody could do anything with us, so far. Hah
hah hah hah haa!¡±, laughed Mr. A.
9 May 2014
¡°That is why we have issued the Promotion Notice now for
the post of Junior Superintendent now after so many years,
instead of doing it every year as per the order of the DOPT.
And, we have done it in our own usual style¡±, continued
Mr. A.
¡°Can you please explain it to Mr. B?¡±, asked Mr. C.
¡°Yes, yes. Why not? For the post of Junior Superintendent,
we have prescribed the following qualification:
The experience qualification for applying for that post is ?6
years as Senior Assistant in GP 2800?
Or
?6 years in Junior Assistant n GP 2400 through MACP and
above?
in an administrative cadre post in IITMadras?
9 May 2014
? ¡°Now, we have equated the Junior Assistants who got
MACP with the Senior Assistants who have put in large
number of years of service. It is only the Senior
Assistants who constitute the Feeder cadre for
promotion to the post Junior Assisants. The lower cadre
people with MACP cannot be considered, as per the
DOPT Norms. MACP does not make a person a promotee
to the higher cadre. Categorical instructions are there.
Yet, we do not care. We can do whatever we want. We
want to do in on purpose. This advertisement would
create an initial stand off between the Senior Assistants
and Junior Assistants¡±, said Mr. A
? ¡°But, why do you call it as the ?initial stad off?? They
would remain permanently divided, I feel¡±, asked Mr. B.
9 May 2014
? ¡°No, they won?t be. Because, it won?t, actually,
benefit all the people in the cadre of Junior
Assistants. In the name of Selection Process, we
do overlook the seniors and bring up the Junors.
We choose only the persons who would put up
filenoting as per our directions without any
hesitation and without citing the rules on the
subject. As the seniors get overlooked in the
process, the seniors in the cadre of Senior
Assistants and the overlooked seniros in the cadre
of Junior Assistants would again join together after
the Selection Process is over. The initial stand off
would vanish soon. But,..¡±.
9 May 2014
? ¡°But? ¡­ But what?¡± asked Mr. B.
? ¡°But, there would be another stand-off
between the persons selected and persons
overlooked. We can use one against the
other always¡± explained Mr. A.
? ¡°That is called the Divide-and-Rule
system. Because, the persons not selected
come to know the criteria based on which
the persons selected had got selected.
There would always be that stand off,
forever. Hah hah hah hah haa¡±, laughed
Mr. C.9 May 2014
? ¡°Hah hah hah hah haa! Yes, yes. That is how we
run the IIT. We do not run it in an objective way
to ensure public interest by conferring whatever
was due to them as per the Central Government
Rules and Order. We do have our own Rules and
Orders to protect our Private Interests¡±, said Mr.
A.
? ¡°But, the persons selected by us for promotion
to higher cadres do not know the real truth¡±,
said Mr. C.
? ¡°What could be that truth? After all, they have
been selected for higher posts and they must be
happy about it¡±, said Mr. B.
9 May 2014
? ¡°No. We select only those who would do our bidding. So,
when they put up filenotings, they would just put up in the
manner in which we want it. They would not cite the rules-
position. If and when the issue crops up later and some
investigation takes place, we can escape saying that the
Junior Superintendents, Superintendents or Assistant Registrar
did not guide us properly. It is only these people who will be
caught. They would not be able to explain why they did not
examine the cases and put up filenoting as per rules.¡±, said
Mr. A. After a pause, he said, ¡°We must take this essential
precaution, because the CBI investigation will be there at any
moment, although we try to stall it¡±, said Mr. A.
? ¡°Hah hah hah hah haa! I understand now how clever we are.
The persons not selected for promotion will suffer now
because of non-promotion. But, the persons selected will
suffer later because of the very promotion. Hah hah haa¡±, said
Mr. B.9 May 2014
? ¡°Yeah! I pity those people who joined IITM as Junior
Assistants. They would have imagined that they could get
promotions in due course as is being done in other Central
Government Departments. But, once they enter, they would
know that promotion here is not earned on the basis of
honest work but only by pleasing us¡±, said Mr.A.
? ¡°Yes! We have simply thrown into dustbin all the instructions
of the DOPT on vacancy-based promotion¡±, said Mr. C.
? ¡°We denied the scope for promotion to people who are
honest and sincere to the organisation. We also made them
to believe that the MACP alone was their right. We made
them believe that they got higher status also because of the
MACP. Is it not a joy to be a sadist? We got promotion for us
but we deny promotion to others¡± said Mr. A.
9 May 2014
? ¡°Hah hah haa! The IIT is for us. We can
do whatever we like. The MHRD is
imagining that they have created world-
class institutions. But, no institution can
serve its purpose, unless the
Administrative Procedure followed there is
right. We have simply pooh-poohed the
Government of India orders on all
administrative matters. Yet, nobody dares
to question us. Hah hah ha! For
example,, ¡­.. Hah hah ha! Hah hah ha!¡±,
laughed Mr. C.
9 May 2014
9 May 2014
? ¡°For example, what?¡±, asked Mr.B who could not
control his curiosity.
? ¡°Hah hah ha! For example, nobody knows how and
why we have shown that there are 5 vacancies in
the cadre of Junior Superintendents. We maintain
Rosters in such a way that nobody would ever
know. That is why, I also do not know. Hah hah
haa! You know that in the case of teaching faculty,
we have already given unlawful reply to the
National Commission for Scheduled Castes on
16.05.2012 that ¡°the IIT Madras has only overall
Institute-wise sanctioned strength ¡­ and hence
there is no roster. Yet, nobody questions us. Hah
hah haa!¡±.9 May 2014
9 May 2014
? ¡°Hah hah hah hah haa! Anyway, it is for the Dealing
Assistants, Superintendents and the Liaison Officer to
explain how and why the vacancies are 5, and how and why
there were no vacancies in the cadre of Junior
Superintendents for so many years. It is not for us to
explain. We can escape. Hah Hah Hah Hah Haa!, said Mr. A.
? ¡°Yes, yes. We need not explain to anyone even the unlawful
decision taken by the Board of Governors on 10.12.2013
authorising the Director to ¡°make administrative changes¡± ..
in terms of Educational qualification & Experience, if
necessary, with information to the Board. The Board cannot
do so. But, we need not explain it to anyone¡±, said Mr. C
roaring with laughter.
? Mr.B joined the chorus too. ¡°Hah hah haa! Yes, yes. It
serves them right. We must rush through the selection
process of Junior Superintendents. It is a joy to do injustice
to the subordinates. Hah hah ha!¡±.9 May 2014
