Default DMG &PMS officers case........ a factual picture

Grievances of PCS Officers of Punjab
Respected Sir,

There are more than one thousand (1000) Provincial Civil Service (PCS) officers of province of the Punjab, who are victims of Discrimination, inhuman treatment and grave injustice done by DMG who have willfully violated the Constitutions of Pakistan. Following facts may help you get a clearer picture of the situation:
• PCS officers are selected through an open competitive examination conducted by Punjab Public Service Commission, Lahore for the post of BPS-17. This is pertinent to mention that both exams (CCS & PCS) are of same eligibility level, same standard---rather PCS Punjab is considered more competitive and tougher than CSS. Recruitment of DMG is also in BS-17 by Federal Punjab Service Commission. So PCS and DMG are recruited by the concerned Public Service Commission in the same grade i.e.; grade-17.

But this cream of the province (PCS) is the victim of grave injustice:

• PCS officers have been deprived of their right of time scale promotion. As per rules, they are promoted from BS-17 to BS-18 after 5-years of service and then next promotion in BPS-19 is after further 7-years (cumulative 12-years). But hundreds of PCS officers are yet waiting for their first promotion even after serving 17-long years in the same grade i.e. 17. Some of PCS Officers were promoted from BS-17 to BS-18 after 21 years of service. While there are many examples when DMG promoted its officers to BS-19 having less than 10 years of service while as per their own rules regarding promotion at least 12 years service is must for promotion from BS-17 to BS-19. So for their own benefit they have been
• There are 3 PCS officers among Provincial Secretaries (Total provincial secretaries = 42)
• Only One PCS officer is commissioner (total commissioners=9)
• Out of 36-DCO only 12 are PCS.
• DCO and Commissioner Lahore is “NO-GO AREA” for PCS Officers.
Reason for all this is unconstitutional posting of DMG/APUG officers in the provinces.

POSTING OF DMG/APUG OFFICERS IN PROVINCES IS VIOLATION OF CONSTITUTION OF PAKISTAN

Before going in detail about the constitutional position, it is appropriate to discuss how DMG/APUG are posted in the provinces.

There was section 263 of the India Act 1935 according to which they could be posted in the provinces after getting the consent of the province(s) through a formal agreement Although, this section 263 was abolished by virtue of section 10 of the Independence Act 1947, the CSP (DMG) were dominant in the Centre as well as in the provinces. So talking undue advantage of their position, the Governor General and 4-provinces entered into an agreement by virtue of which all 4-provinces surrendered certain number of seats in favour of the federation against which CSP could have been appointed. This agreement is called CSP (Composition & Cadre) Rules 1954. By virtue of these rules, Province of the Punjab surrendered 55 POSTS TO THE Federal Govt. out of these 55 posts 25% posts were again reserved for PCS and 17 seats belonged to the present judiciary like judges of the High Court, D&S judges etc. So, out of these 55 seats, net share of CSP (DMG) was 28 seats as discussed above.

Are these CSP (Composition & Cadre) Rules Valid and Legal?

The simple answer is “NO”. Detail is as under:-

1. As per the constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan the very posting of DMG/APUG officers in the provinces is ultra vires and against the constitution of Pakistan. Under section 263, India Act 1935 they could be posted in the provinces if any province and Federation enter into a n agreement to the effect. But this section 263 mentioned above ceased to exist w.e.f. 15th August 1947 by virtue of section 10 of the Independence Act 1947, the date on which the independence Act 1947 was enforced Section 10 the Independence Act is reproduced here:-

“10 Secretary of State’s services, etc:-
The provisions of this Act keeping in force provisions of the Government of India Act, 1935 shall not continue in force the provisions of that Act relating to appointments to the civil services of and civil posts under, the Crown in India by the Secretary of State on the provisions of that Act relating to the reservation of posts………

In the light of the above mentioned discussion, it is clear that these rules of 1954 were made ultra vires as section 263 did not exist at that time……..rather it ceased to exist the morning when Pakistan came into being i.e. 14th of August 1947.

It is very important to note that this was very much in the knowledge of the architects of CSP 1954 rules, therefore, although they reproduced the language of section 265 of India Act 1935 but did not mention that these rules were being framed under section 263.

2. OPINION OF LAW DEPARTMENT & PUNJAB ASSEMBLY

There is another interpretation of the constitution made by the Law Department of the Govt. of the Punjab which it gave to the Provincial assembly of the Punjab in 1986. Actually in February 1986 a number of honorable MPAs tabled the questions in the Punjab assembly regarding the miseries of PCS officers. Consequently, the then CM Punjab constituted a high powered committee of the Punjab Assembly (under Rule 160 of the Rules of Procedure of the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab 1973, vide No.PAP/Legis-I(19)/85/6 dated 21-04-1986) comprising of 11-MPAs. It is pertinent to mention that present Foreign Minister Hon. Makhdoom Shah Mehmood Qureshi was the member of the above mentioned committee. This committee listened to all stake holders including PCS Executive, PCS Secretariat DMG, Law Department of Punjab Govt. and others and finally published a report in the form of a 149-pages book which was approved by the Punjab Assembly by a unanimous resolution (copy enclosed). In this report, the committee unanimously agreed (page 81-86, Chapter IX of the book) that:-

“Validity of CSP Composition and Cardre Rules 1954:

The result of the above discussions is that the posts surrendered by the Punjab Government under the CSP (Composition and Cadre) Rules 1954 stand restored to Punjab…”
It means that 55 seats (net share of CSP was 28 seats) which were given to Federal Govt by the Punjab under an agreement came back to Punjab so, after the promulgation of 1956 constitution very posting of DMGs in Punjab is against the constitution of Pakistan.

DMG FURTER VIOLATED THE CONSTITUTION

From the above discussion it is clear that:

a. either the very posting w.e.f. 15 August 1947 is ICS/CSP/Federal officers in the provinces is ultra vires or
b. The day when 1956 constitution was promulgated, the CSP rules 1954 came to an end.
But instead of complying with the constitution:-


1. The mighty DMG on 21-08-1973 (just after 7-days of promulgation of 1973 Constitution) increased their seats in all provinces through a notification. For example, in Punjab, they raised their seats from 55 (their net share was 28 seats as discussed above as per 1954 rules) to 115 and also abolished the 25% quota of PCS into that.
2. They keep on trying to further increase their seats in the provinces by no Govt. agreed to Finally they found the right time and right man (who knew nothing about services in Pakistan) to get their job done----it was the INTERIM GOVT. of Mr. Moeen Qureshi.

ILLEGAL IPCC (“MOEN QURESHI”) FORMULA---1993

A meeting was arranged by the DMGs under the care-taker Prime Minister, Mr. Moeen Qureshi, on 19th September 1993 in Islamabad which was attended by caretaker Governors, caretaker Chief Ministers and Chief Secretaries (who all were DGM) of the four provinces. The Minutes of the said Meeting were issued by the Joint Secretary to the Cabinet vide No. 47/CS/93 dated 22nd September 1993 (Copy enclosed). The meeting approved the following percentage share of APUG in the

revised cadre schedule of APUG posts in the provinces:
Province BPS-17 BPS-18 BPS-19 BPS-20 BPS-21
Punjab 25% 40 % 50% 60% 65%
Sindh 25% 40 % 50% 60% 65%
NWFP 25% 40 % 50% 60% 65%
Balochistan 25% 40 % 50% 60% 65%
• The most important question about this so-called sharing formula is THAT INTERIM GOVT. DOES NOT HAVE A MANDATE TO DECIDE SUCH CRUCIAL ISSUED AT ALL ,interim govt is to carry day to day business and to conduct the election and NOTHING ELSE.
• The above table clearly reflects that as DMG/APUG Officers got a lions share of all important posts of the provinces and marginalized the PCS officers in their provinces what a justice that all 22 grades seats for DMG (not even a single for PCS) and just for 35% seats in grade 21 to all Provincial Civil Services……
• The mala fide is further clear that the said arrangement was made in a surreptitious manner that for last many years said Minutes of Meeting could not known to PCS as they were marked “Secret/Confidential”.
• Deliberately and with mala fide intention, no PCS Officers of any province was consulted nor invited to attend the meeting. Probably this was the only “Sharing” formula where the other party (PCS) was kept in absolute dark.
• In this way, the DMG acted as judge, jury and executioner themselves.

WHERE IS PROVINCIAL AUTONOMY?

• The very posting of DMG/APUG officers in the provinces is totally against the provincial autonomy as enshrined in the constitution of Pakistan (for example article 141 & 142 © of the constitution) as well qualified officers of the province (PCS) ARE THERE AND THERE IS NO NEED OF DMG IN THE PROVINCE. By getting posting in the province, they are usurping the rights of the provincial officers as they get their promotions against the seats or provincial civil service officers. Basically, ICS was devised and evolved by East India Company / British to establish and consolidate their colonial rule in the sub-continent in 1853. This service was, initially manned exclusively by Europeans. Gradually, the demand for induction of locals (Indians) into that was getting stronger and stronger and consequently, PCS service was created in 1887 by the Aitcheson Commission.
• If they can manage the affairs of the Federal Govt. for which they appeared from Federal Public Service Commission. It would be a great service to the nation. After 63 years of independence they are not otherwise required by the provinces at all at the cost of PCS Officers.

Thumbs down Malicious Propaganda

@ Arifniazi18


Bro! I have great respect and admiration for you but I am sorry to say that you are only spreading negative propaganda against DMG based on fallacies and unconstitutional designs.
Please make some corrections:

1) DMG is not a federal service. It is an “All Pakistan Service” which represents both Federal Government of Pakistan and the respective provincial governments. So DMG has got the same right to serve in the provinces as the PMS does. CSP/DMG was basically created to serve at the highest echelons of administration because its members were and still are selected through the most competitive examination, CSS. Whereas PMS, and the erstwhile PCS-Executive were created through the Aitcheson report to serve at the low levels of provincial bureaucracy. PMS’ demands of equal share in higher posts are completely unsolicited.

2) As far as the mentioning of your Punjab Assembly Resolution of circa 1988 is involved, I am sorry to say that Punjab Assembly has no right to unilaterally amend the service rules or to change to IPSSF of All Pakistan Services, though it can change the terms of Provincial Services. (Source : Article 240 of Constitution of Pakistan).

3) PMS is not PCS executive. More than 600 of the officials of PMS are the rankers from the stenographers, superintendents, tehsildars and non-gazatted officers as well as the officers of Provincial Secretariat Group. How can a stenographer or a tehsildar be posted and to be elevated to the same post as that of a DMG officer?? It is a completely absurd thing. It is completely unthinkable for the government to give the stenographer more or even the same opportunity as given to a DMG official.

4) DMG officers have their own grievances as for the past many decades not a single DMG officer is posted to judiciary whereas more than 300 PCS officials are serving in Judiciary and enjoying the perks and privileges given to judiciary. It is a complete disregard to the merit of CSS.

5) The number of posts in federal government is already being squeezed up due to 18th Amendment and the abolition of several federal ministries. So most of the senior DMG officials have nowhere to go instead of serving in the provinces.

6) The pace of promotion of PMS officials is already increased to the level of DMG so even being selecting in hordes through a much easier exam, PMS officials are given the same luxuries as given to DMG. After this, there should be strike or whatsoever from PMS. All their demands have largely been met by Mian Nawaz Sharif. They are already given much more than what the actual “PMS RULES OF 2004” have given them.

7) The lists of PMS follies are unlimited. I request all the respectable members not to be indulged in any infighting.

Being a provincial servant of BPS-17 myself (not PMS), I request you not to muzzle the facts and to present the true picture. My aim is to present the true picture and I can quote several incidents where a PMS Officer has usurped the right of a DMG officer.
