The decision came from a bench of Justices Arun Tandon and Vipin Sinha while dealing with a petition filed by one Rajbeer and other members of the Ahir community who are listed as OBCs in the State list. Through their lawyers Raj K Yadav and Rajeev Trivedi, the petitioners argued that the State cannot continue providing reservation for Jats in State Public Services under a notification issued on March 10, 2000. According to them, this decision (granting reservation to the Jats) violated the SC judgment of March 17, 2015 in Ram Singh versus Union of India by which the apex court struck down the Centre’s notification for clubbing Jats as OBCs as they failed to show any indicator of social or educational backwardness. The HC bench took note of the submissions and said, “We dispose the writ petition by requiring respondent 1 (UP Government) to consider the grievance of the petitioner in the light of the judgment of the Supreme Court strictly in accordance with law preferably within a period of eight weeks.” Considering the fact that Jats constitute 3.6 per cent of the State’s population, taking a decision to strike them off from reservation benefits will prove costly to the Samajwadi Party Government which is bracing for polls in the State in 2017. Jats hold considerable sway in decision making as is evident from the report of the Social Justice Committee prepared in year 2001 showing that 92 per cent Jat households are landowners and 89 per cent of Jats in rural areas are employed in primary sector jobs. The fact that UP Government did not conduct any socio-economic survey of backwardness before extending reservation to Jats was even noted by apex court in its landmark verdict. Besides, the National Commission for Backward Classes too had shot down the proposals for inclusion of Jats under the OBC category on February 26, 2014 that was held to be binding on States by the apex court.
ECONOMIC TIMES, DEC 15, 2015 Whistleblower IFS officer Sanjiv Chaturvedi rendered jobless By Raghav Ohri NEW DELHI: Sanjiv Chaturvedi, the whistleblower Indian Forest Service officer and Magsaysay award winner, has been rendered completely jobless. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi, where Chaturvedi has been posted, has withdrawn the last of the tasks that had been assigned to him - that of booking its guesthouses. An aggrieved Chaturvedi has written to Cabinet Secretary PK Sinha, stating that "over the past three years, all the works were withdrawn one by one without assigning any reason and...after the last order dated December 3, withdrawing work of estate section, I am practically without any work." He said that "this situation is the result of lawful actions against a powerful nexus of corrupt politicians-bureaucrats about which your esteemed office is very well aware." The civil servant had unearthed a spate of scams while posted in Haryana and took action in 165 cases covering a range of irregularities at AIIMS. Detailed questionnaires sent to the health ministry and the AIIMS director seeking comment on the matter remained unanswered. When Chaturvedi was appointed deputy secretary of AIIMS in June 2011, his job, among other things, was to "exercise management and control of the institute" and "coordinate and manage infrastructure projects and ensure. their timely completion." The work involved multi-crore rupee projects, including the country's biggest cancer hospital in Jhajjar. In addition, he was made chief vigilance officer of the institute. However, Chaturvedi was said to have been given charge of only two minor areas - the general section on deciding issues of grievances and pension and the estate section. In November 2012, the charge of the general section was allegedly withdrawn without any reason. Then, he was removed from the post of CVO in August 2014. As first reported by ET in May, the officer had contended that till date, he had not been allocated the entire work. Chaturvedi had petitioned the Central Administrative Tribunal, alleging that through an order dated May 15, the Narendra Modi government, acting in an "arbitrary and mala fide manner," had said all files and work routed through him should be sent by subordinate officers directly to his superior. Since then, the only task left with Chaturvedi was the estate section - booking of guesthouses of the institute. In response to the petition, the health ministry and AIIMS claimed that the entire work promised at the time of creation of the post stands allotted to Chaturvedi. Terming this as a "blatant lie," Chaturvedi accused AIIMS director MC Misra of perjury. Taking note, the tribunal issued notices to the AIIMS director, seeking an explanation. The next hearing is in January. "There is absolutely no rule under which an officer with consistent outstanding grading and vigilance clearance may be prevented forcefully to perform his assigned duties and in fact such acts are criminal offences," Chaturvedi said in the letter to the Cabinet Secretary. Chaturvedi said he faces a "very humiliating situation of being without any work and being paid full salary (Rs 1 lakh plus). Such wastage of financial/human resources is very unfortunate for a poor country like ours A parliamentary committee in a report in August had slammed the institute and the health ministry for delays in projects worth several crore rupees and had recommended "effective monitoring" to ensure their timely completion.
