Thanks to the controversial CVC Mr.P.J.Thomas, the Apex Court is seized of all the wrong doings happening under the roof of North Block (New Delhi – G.O.I) housing the Department of Personnel & Training and the Ministry of Home affairs. The questions raised by the Hon. Supreme Court especially the Bench of Chief Justice, S.H.Kapadia and two other Justices, K.S.Radhakrishnan and Swatanter Kumar are to the point and exceedingly well-taken.
Points for consideration
1) Only the Bio data of P.J.Thomas was placed before the Selection Panel headed by P.M and no other relevant details certified by the DOPT.
2) Even the aforesaid bio-data failed to mention the posting of Thomas as the Secretary of Food & Civil Supplies in the Government of Kerala.
3) DOPT failed to give sanction for prosecution for seven long years in the case of P.J.Thomas. One would like to know how many Thomases had managed and manipulated to get promotion and postings in the State and Central Government while the requests for such sanction were pending or when some other cases were promptly disposed of and prosecuting agencies were obliged by DOPT whose discriminatory action is indeed unpardonable.
4) CVC clearing P.J.Thomas’s case was with regard to his posting in Government of India. Was it sufficient for the purpose of selection by the high-level panel without the State Government’s clearance and opinion?
5) If a political fight between two Chief Ministers was, as argued by Thomas, the reason for his trouble can he or G.O.I. ensure that such a calamity had not occurred in the career of several other officials from All India Services.
6) How dare the officials of DOPT are prepared to befool the P.M., H.M. & the Leader of Opposition. Such a bold step couldn’t have taken place without a god-father’s role in P.M.O. or any other Power Centre or sans some illegal transaction between Thomas and officials of DOPT
One should thank the God and celebrate the steps of the Apex Court in this regard. A decision will certainly expose the wrong-doers and instill fear in their minds for some time.

The God has been kind and great through the land mark judgment of the Hon. Chief justice and his two other colleagues/judges pssed this week and the P.M has to own up the responsibility of wrong selection based on wrong feed-back given by the officials of PMO and DOPT.
We beg before the Hon. P.M that he should weigh the pros and cons of any proposal coming up or put up for promotion / posting / punishment of any All India Service officer hereafter at least.

Mr Thomas has intervened today and sought to suggest a balanced approach to devising guidelines to the media by the Apex court of India while covering the news of the accused or indicted individual - whether a government servant or a politician when the matter is subjudice or the investigating agency is engaged in its work at the behest of some authority in government. The media trial is worse than the actual prosecution and the conviction by the court. One should respect his views on the subject. It is quite possible that the media did a villain's role while the matter was before the court and he might have been a straightforward officer in his career as claimed by him. Many officials have had been victimised by the investigating agencies and the media serving the self interst of certain individuals day in and day out in the system.
