Hon High Court of Delhi outrightly dismissed the modification application filed by BSNL seeking 25 months time for repatriation of unabsorbed ITS officers working in BSNL.

Even desperate plea made by the BSNL counsel to give time upto 31^st December, 2012 was rejected by the Hon Court. Hon HC while dismissing the application of BSNL directed it to complete repatriation process by 30th Sept, 2012.

Intervention application was filed by BSNLEU, SNEA(I) and AIBSNLEA. Eventhough the intervention application was also dismissed, yet counsel appearing for these Associations/unions strongly opposed the move of ITS controlled BSNL Management for extension of time. Intervention application was not admitted on technical grounds since we are not party in the original application.

Legal intervention by Unions/Associations in the ITS repatriation issue in the banner of JAC.

Hon’ble Delhi High Court in a landmark judgment dated 17.04.2012 in the ITS absorption issue given two weeks time to the unabsorbed Group A officers including ITS to exercise their option to get absorbed in BSNL/MTNL on a prospective date of absorption, ie 08.12.2005. The case was filed by ITSA & others and their main prayer was prospective date of absorption. Hon High Court allowed their prayer and given 2 weeks time to exercise fresh option. If they do not opt for BSNL/MTNL, then they should be repatriated to the DoT within the next two weeks, ruled the Hon’ble Court.

It is learnt that only one person given option to join BSNL and the rest of the ITS officers have again opted back to DoT eventhough ITSA was the applicant and their demand for prospective date of absorption was accepted by the Hon Court. This proves the intentions of ITSA.

Instead of repatriating all the non-optee ITS officers back to DoT, the ITS controlled BSNL management has filed a petition in the Hon’ble Delhi High Court, seeking another 25 months for repatriating these ITS officers back to DoT citing operational requirements. If this uncertainty continues, BSNL will collapse before 25 months, each and every one of us knows, except the ITS controlled management. BSNL management is more concerned about the future of the ITS officers on deputation than the future of the company and its 2.75 lakh employees.

Hence as per JAC decision, SNEA, BSNLEU and AIBSNLEA are filing a petition in the Hon’ble Delhi High Court to implead in this case. We will tooth and nail oppose BSNL management’s evil designs to protect the unabsorbed ITS in the name of operational requirement and allowing them to continue in BSNL, availing all the benefits including promotions on BSNL posts.

It is learnt that ITSA demanding relieving of all the unabsorbed officers. If their demand is genuine, it is very easy for them to get relieved by filing a simple contempt petition in the Hon Delhi HC against BSNL/MTNL Management. Let us watch whether they are blackmailing BSNL/MTNL/DOT or not by demanding repatriation in order to continue in BSNL/MTNL on deputation.

It is proposed to convene a meeting of all unions and associations of BSNL on 23.05.2012 at New Delhi. The meeting will discuss ways and means to improve BSNL's viability as well as finalise trade union actions necessary to compel BSNL management and the government in this regard.
