Answer given by the minister

MINISTER OF STATE FOR COMMUNICATIONS

(SHRI TAPAN SIKDAR)

(a) Yes, Sir.

(b) The details of the representations are as below:


(i) Representations received in 1996-97
- A representation dated 06.12.96 from Shri George Fernandes, Member of Parliament	regarding misuse of powers of the post of Divisional Head, Chhatarpur by Shri S.D.	Vashistha and his immediate transfer addressed to the then Minister of Communications. 
- A representation dated 04.01.97 from Ms. Uma Bharti, Member of Parliament regarding	misuse of powers of the post of Divisional Head, Chhatarpur by Shri S.D. Vashistha and	his immediate transfer addressed to the then Minister of Communications.

(ii) Representation received in 1999.
- Representation from Shri Satyavart Chaturvedi, Member of Parliament addressed to	Minister of Communications regarding misbehaviour with a member of the staff, non	compliance of rules and regulations, corruption by ASPOs Tikamgarh, irregular Extra	Departmental appointments, harassment of staff and irregularities in granting of	allowances by Shri S. D. Vashistha, Supdt. of Post Offices, Chhatarpur.

(c) Inquiries were conducted into the said representations received in 1996 -97.

Most of the allegations against Shri S.D. Vashistha, Superintendent of Post Offices, Chhatarpur could not be proved. There was no case against the officer from vigilance angle. Therefore, it did not appear justified to shift the officer without valid ground for his transfer from the said division. Suitable replies were also given to the public representatives who had taken up the case of the problems of the employees and irregularities committed in Chhatarpur Division.

As regards the representation received against the officer in 1999 the same is under examination.
