Defence ministry withdraws note on status equivalence


PTI | Updated: Jan 5, 2018, 21:11 IST

The letter has been withdrawn following direction from defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman
NEW DELHI: In a major decision, the defence ministry on Friday announced withdrawal of a controversial note it had issued over two years back on status equivalence between military officers
and their civilian counterparts, which had triggered widespread anguish in the armed forces.
"The Ministry of Defence letter dated October 18, 2016 on the issue of equivalence between Armed Forces officers and Armed Forces Headquarters Civil Services (AFHQ CS) Officers is
withdrawn," the defence ministry said.

Recommended By Colombia

It said the letter has been withdrawn following direction by defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman.

The ministry further said the cadre restructuring of AFHQ CS as approved by the Union Cabinet shall be duly implemented.

"Designations to be created in consequence of the additional posts sanctioned by the Cabinet will be done in consultation with Service HQs," it said.

There has been growing resentment among the military officers who have been insisting that the current status equivalence was flawed and that the government must address their concerns.

For example, according to current norms, director-level officers have been put on the same level with the directors of the Armed Forces Headquarters-cadre. The military officials have been
insisting that Lt Colonel is equivalent to directors of AFHQ cadre.

In the October 18, 2016, letter, the defence ministry, had made the rank equivalence between civilian officers and serving military officers on the basis of their functional responsibilities.

Following the order, for example, a Principal Director in AFHQ was made equivalent to a Major General, a Director was made equivalent to a Brigadier and a Joint Director was made on par
with a Colonel.

A Colonel earlier was equivalent to a Director.

The ministry said "local designations" assigned to both service and civilian Officers in Service Headquarters/ Inter Service Organisations (ISOs) is also withdrawn.

It also said that both Service and Civilian Officers will use their respective cadre designations only.

"So far as the Channel of reporting/rendition of Annual Performance Appraisal Report (APAR) is concerned, status quo ante is hereby restored, i.e., the position which existed prior to the issue
of MoD letter dated 18 October 2016 shall prevail," the ministry said.

RS was adjourned sine die without taking up the triple talaq bill for lack of consensus over the opposition’s demand to refer it to a select committee.

Venkaiah Naidu
NEW DELHI: The Rajya Sabha was on Friday adjourned sine die without taking up the triple talaq bill for lack of consensus over the Opposition’s demand to refer it to a select committee.
Chairman Venkaiah Naidu, while thanking the members for cooperation in ensuring passage of nine government Bills and other business during the session, regretted the substantial loss of
functional time on account of disruptions.
“... Though Parliament is a political institution, it cannot be an extension of politics in its typical sense which is marked by deep divisions and acrimony ... It is unfortunate that despite discharging
its responsibilities to a great extent, the august House ends up losing some degree of esteem of the people on account of disruptions and subsantial loss of time ... Intense and passionate
submissions and debates are the order of democracy, but disruptions are certainly not. I urge upon the Hon’ble members to seriously introspect in this regard,” Naidu stated in his valedictory
remarks at conclusion of the winter session.

The initial days of the session had seen frequent disruptions as Congress insisted on an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his remarks against his predecessor Manmohan Singh
during the Gujarat poll campaign. However, the deadlock was eventually resolved, enabling Rajya Sabha to function normally.

A review of the proceedings reveals that a total 41 hours of business was transacted while over 33 hours lost to disruptions over 13 sittings of Rajya Sabha. Nine government bills were passed, 19
private members’ bills introduced, 46 starred questions answered orally, 51 Zero Hour submissions made, 28 special mentions taken up and two short-duration discussions held on state of the
economy as well as air pollution in Delhi. Rajya Sabha even created a record on January 2 by taking up all starred questions after a gap of 15 long years.

Stating that the House had its highs and lows, Naidu said the high point was that both the sides reiterated their commitment to respect and uphold the high office of the Prime Minister and former
PM. Another high point, he said, was that all sections of the House spoke in one voice regarding former Indian naval officer Kulbhushan Yadav’s meeting with his family members in a Pakistani
jail.

As for the ‘lows’, Naidu said it was a matter of “deep discomfort” that the House had lost over 33 hours of valuable working time. “..time is not on our side and we need to stretch ourselves to
make up for the missed opportunities and time..The legislature of our country including the apex Parliament need to quickly evolve the way we conduct our proceedings so as to meet the needs
of our evolving nation,” he said.

SC quashed proceedings against CBI officials for trying to enter house of Orissa HC judge for raid
Amit Anand Choudhary | TNN | Jan 5, 2018, 08.42 PM IST

Representative image
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday quashed proceedings against CBI officials who had wrongly tried to enter the house of a sitting Orissa High Court (HC) judge under mistaken
identity to conduct raid and search of premises in connection with medical admission scam.
A bench of Justices A K Sikri and Ashok Bhushan quashed the FIR lodged against the officials after the agency told the court that it had tendered unconditional apology to the Chief Justice of
the HC and the concerned judge for the mistake and it was accepted by them.

Odisha police had filed a case of trespass against a team of CBI officials trying to enter the house of the sitting judge of the Orissa HC in in the intervening night of 19-20 September to conduct a
raid and search. They had gone to raid the house while searching for a former HC judge but he had vacated the premise seven years back after retirement. The officials immediately withdrew
from the spot after they came to know that a sitting HC judge was residing at the house now. The officials had gone there on the basis of information received from internet showing that the
former judge was living there.

The agency told the apex court that the mistake was inadvertent and bona fide and the FIR should be quashed as the concerned judge had already accepted the apology.

"It is submitted and reiterated that the whole incident which happened in the night intervening 19-20 September was unfortunate yet unintended, inadvertent and bona fide mistake during
carrying out of the search warrant. The deponent, on behalf of the entire unit involved in the case, once again expresses an unqualified apology to the institution of the High Court as also to the
honourable judge, at the entrance of whose residence the team members reached under a bona fide mistake," CBI said in its affidavit.

Taking CBI's affidavit on record, the bench quashed the FIR against CBI officials.
