Dimapur, March 28 (MExN): Apropos to the clarification issued by the Secretary S&WC Department that ‘the question/issue of termination does not arise as they are no longer Government Servants’ dated March 15, Combined Technical Association of Nagaland (CTAN) in a press release addressed “the verbal sleight of hand that was at play to deviate the gist of the matter.”
While it is technically true that the duo are currently not bound from any governmental obligations as their period of contract is on lapse, however, that does not imply that the two JSCOs are officially released from the posts as the machinery behind the process of regularization is evident to all, which has been the whole contention, CTAN Media Cell stated on Monday.
Therefore, CTAN reiterated its demand to immediately stop the whole process of regularization and vacate the posts to be competed by worthy aspirants. It is also mentioned that the contract agreement signed on June 3, 2016 confers no right to claim regularization in any case.
The same has been approved and notified by the Principal Secretary of the P&AR Department thus, the Gauhati High Court (Kohima Bench) restrained the state Government from undertaking any regularization of irregular appointment in its judgment and order dated 3-08-18 contained in W. A. No. 16(k) 2018. Also regularization of the contract service as such cannot be acknowledged and any attempt to regularize the irregular appointments shall invite contempt of court proceedings.
“Against this backdrop, let it be known that the sole motive of CTAN is to streamline the stated posts to a proper mode of recruitment and any force working against such approach at the behest of higher authority would be tantamount to corruption in the real sense of the word,” it stated.
