The applicant sought from you, please provide the list of the regularised personnel range wise in the division Gorakhpur under the above notification issued by the government on 12th September 2016.

Have you provided any list to the applicant? The information provided by you, government order issued to regularise the staff and your report is attached to this grievance. Where is the list? You did not provide the list because you know that it will expose the corruption committed by you in regularising the staff in accordance with the government order.

Since you have categorically stated in your report that the applicant has made baseless allegations against the personnel of the Department of forest then the applicant is again making inquiry under Article 51 A of the Constitution of India regarding the following points which were not provided by you under right to information act.

2- Please provide a copy of the communications exchanged with the government by the office of the Divisional Forest Officer district Gorakhpur regarding the aforementioned notification issued by the government on 12th September 2016.

3- If not a single daily wage personnel was regularised under the aforementioned notification issued by the government then providing the reason for it as right to reason is an indispensable part of the sound administrative system.

4- Please provide the precautionary measure taken by the divisional forest officer Gorakhpur to maintain the transparency and accountability in the process of regularisation of the daily wage personnel under the aforementioned notification.

5- Please provide the total number of daily wage staff working under the Gorakhpur division of the Department of forest.

Undoubtedly you will say that I should seek the information under the right to information act 2005 but it is quite true I have sought the information under transparency act but you cryptically denied it which is a mockery of the provisions right to information act and such practises must be curbed by the government. Mr Divisional Forest Officer You are working as divisional forest officer not as a specific person so you should not say that this working does not belong to your period because you are not specific.

As far as appeal is concerned against your cryptic denial of information under right to information act 2005, the applicant will submit an appeal against your communication later number 2208 dated 22nd November 2023. Still the time has not elapsed to submit the appeal in the matter.

As far as the matter concerns the switching off the mobile phone given in the grievance, the applicant is saying that you have to provide your comment in your report so that there may be transparency and accountability. What will you say on the mobile phone? If the divisional forest officer is really interested to have a conversation with the applicant then he must provide his CUG mobile number to the applicant and the applicant will make contact with him but he will not do so. While it is his obligatory duty.

Grievance Description

The matter concerns the arbitrariness and tyranny in the process of regularization of the vulnerable staff under the supervision of divisional forest officer Gorakhpur which must be taken seriously by responsible officers in the government of Uttar Pradesh. Please restrain divisional forest officer Gorakhpur from anarchy.

An inquiry under Article 51 A of the constitution of India regarding the compliance of the provisions of notification of the Uttar Pradesh Regularization of Persons Working On Daily Wages or On Work Charge or On Contract. The objective of the applicant is to ensure the transparency and accountability in the regularization of the persons working on daily wages in the government departments in compliance with the notification.

The matter concerns the working of the divisional forest officer district Gorakhpur regarding the following notification issued by the government of Uttar Pradesh on 12th September 2016. GOVERNMENT OF UTTAR PRADESH PERSONNEL SECTION-2 NOTIFICATION Miscellaneous No.9/2016/2/1/97-Ka-2-2016 Dated, Lucknow, 12 September, 2016 IN exercise of the powers conferred by the proviso to Article 309 of the Constitution and in supersession of all existing rules and orders on the subject, the Governor is pleased to make the following rules: THE UTTAR PRADESH REGULARISATION OF PERSONS WORKING ON DAILY WAGES OR ON WORK CHARGE OR ON CONTRACT IN GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS ON GROUP C AND GROUP D POSTS (OUTSIDE THE PURVIEW OF THE UTTAR PRADESH PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION) RULES, 2016 These rules may be called The Uttar Pradesh Regularization of Persons Working On Daily Wages or On Work Charge or On Contract In Government Departments On Group C And Group D Posts (Outside The Purview Of The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission Rules, 2016. They shall come into force at once.

Divisional forest officer Gorakhpur says that the personnel working on daily wages or on work charges or on contract are regularised but the staff of the department are not directed to make the list of such personnel so list of regularised personnel under the notification is not available to the department.

This implies that there is no transparency and accountability in the regularisation process of the vulnerable staff of the Department of forest under the supervision of the divisional forest officer gorakhpur. Those staff providing services to the department for many years with dedication have been sidelined and the staff who are having money in their pockets are the front runners in the process of regularisation so such practises must be curbed by the government of Uttar Pradesh by setting the standard norms which must be followed by the divisional forest officer Gorakhpur.

Think about the gravity of situation divisional Forest officer could not provide provide the list of the regularised candidates under the notification which means something is wrong in the process of regularisation being adopted by the divisional forest officer Gorakhpur which must be stopped and an inquiry must be ordered to check the anomalies in the process of appointment through regularization.

The applicant has sought 6-point information from the divisional forest officer Gorakhpur to ensure the transparency and accountability in the process of regularization of the vulnerable staff but it is most unfortunate divisional forest officer did not provide any information under 6 points which is quite obvious from the denial of information attached as the first two pages in the pdf document to the grievance.

If the government has not provided patronage to the divisional forest officer, then it is obligatory duty of the senior rank officers in the government of Uttar Pradesh to order an inquiry in the matter of regularization of the vulnerable staff of the Department of forest. The matter concerns the wide public interest so it is expected from the responsible officer of the state to take it seriously so that rights of the vulnerable section must be preserved.
