Rashtrapati Bhawan, New Delhi (India).

Hon’ble Sir,

Re:- Retrospective promotions in our public sector

insurance of doubtful integrity,hatred to applicant

With reference to the captioned subject I bring to your

kind attention the following in the social media as your
honour is appointing authority to apex decision makers of
our PSU Insurance:-

The background of this commmunication is the news on public domain:-

“Kochhar denies guilt after ICICI Bank fires her with retrospective effect.”

https://www.ibtimes.co.in/kochhar-denies-guilt-after-icici-bank-fires-her-retrospective-effect-791042

System prevalent in a private bank,
namely, ICICI
1. Charges of criminal nature against
someone are investigated by an
independent committee
2. There is suspension and thereafter
termination from retrospective effect
System rampant in the NIACL, A Public Sector
Undertaking
Someone who is seen in the company of
chairperson, despite accused of bribe taking
escapes suspension,remains well paid
An alleged bribe taker is eventually promoted
from retrospective effect

Promotions are rewarded by NIACL to hate mongers, e.g. one Mr. Harichand, salary roll
No. 20676 despite his sexist deposition to discredit the applicant’s petition for promotion

26/03/2008 “It is surprising fact that the wife of Mr. Soni is not following the
written letter Hindu Family Traditions as she is comfortable away from her
on behalf of NIACL sick husband deliberately leaving the children with him though it
is apparent from his letter there is no one else taking care of him”
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
During the era that applicant was forced under process of hatred in the garb of process of discipline on
vague, frivolous charges the bribe takers were free of suspension as per news in the public domain.

ANNEXURE from ShriGopal Soni HO/VIG/2009 CF NO.5387/123

DeepaBajwa, Director Central Vigilance Commission,

Satarkata Bhavan, Block –A ,GPA Complex, INA ,NEW DELHI-110 023'

We acknowledge receipt of Commission's OM reference No, Conf/1463/08

dated 29.4,2008 in connection with the grievances of Mr.Soni, Hindi
Translator. The gist of the complaint preferred by him are as under :

1. Mr.Soni has contended that the Divisional Office has made a false allegation about
not responding to their repeated reminders in connection with his medi-claim.

2. He also made a complaint that in spite of being Senior most employee in the DO, he
was deprived of the functions of Cashier on the pretext that it was refused by him
earlier,

3. He also alleges that unnecessarily he has been issued charge sheet for his sick leave
though sufficient balance was to his credit.

On the basis of various allegations made by Mr.Soni, we had asked our VQ to invcstigate
the matter and report to us. Accordingly the matter was invcstigaied by our VO. On
perusal of his report, we offer our para-wise comments on the various points raised by
Mr.Soni and the same are as under ;

1. Mr. Soni is our employee, working as Hindi Translator at Ajmer DO. He

submitted Medi claim bills to Div. Office. As some additional information was required
for his claim, letters for compliance were sent to Mr.Soni advising him to comply with
the requirements. However Mr.Soni denied having received any such communication,
delay is therefore caused due to non compliance on the part of Mr.Soni.

2.Divisional Manager, clarified that Mr. Soni is appointed specially as

Hindi Translator and therefore the job of cashier was not allotted to him. Moreover,
as he was already transferred to Gulabpura branch from Ajmer Div, Office, the question
of assigning him with the function of cashier's job at DO does not arise.

3. Mr. Soni, was issued a Memorandum dated 13.2.2008,for his acts of unauthorized
absence, insubordination, leaving head quarter without permission of the superior and
for tamping with the medical certificate. A departmental inquiry was been instituted to
look into the charges framed against him.

In view of the findings of the VO it will be seen that the allegation made by Mr. Soni are
baseless and do not have vigilance angle. Therefore we are closing the case from
vigilance angle. This is for your information please.

Yours faithfully, (GOPA RAY) GM & CVO

The statement of CVO ,NIACL informing 3 times to the CVC that applicant is a Hindi
Translator remains misleading even after a decade as another department of NIACL is
emphatic that there is neither any existence of Hindi Translator nor is there any pending
matter of revival of the post.
