Show Cause Notice to KTPs

As and when you join any public service, you would be amused by things in the initial phases of your career. Don't worry, it's normal and referred to as the golden period of your service aka PROBATION. In your academy you would find two kinds of people. Keen-type probationers (KTPs) and Cool-Type Probationers (CTPs). Yes yes that geek-dude continuum all over again. But both are important to have a balance though sometimes the KTPs take it too far. So much so that they deserve nothing less than a SCN!

OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER OF CTPs,

LEOPOLD CAFE, COLABA, MUMBAI-400001.

F.No. _________________                                                      Date : 08.06.2015

SHOW CAUSE NOTICE UNDER SECTION 420 OF

THE INDIAN PROBATION CODE(IPC)

Subject :- Overutilization of extra exam sheets and use of relevant sections, sub-sections and Rules/Regulations etc etc by the KTPs.

Whereas hereby it is clarified that the word KTP used here and henceforth would refer to all the KTP community and anyone even slightly resembling to it or showing such lethal symptoms. This is with respect to a general agreement which was agreed upon on a platform called WhatsApp wherein it was decided that no one would use specific sections and especially the sub-sections of the Act to reinforce their answers.

2.         But today in the examination halls during the Part I || Paper I of Customs Law. Tariff and Procedures (Without Book), it appears that KTP stands in violation of the agreed upon terms and conditions as mentioned in paragraph 1 of this notice. It appears that in spite of scary faces and verbal threats issued immediately by the CTPs, there was no deterrence effect on the KTP.

3.         It appears that KTP used all the relevant sections and even the sub-sections of the Customs Act in his answers. The CTPs sitting next to them have confirmed this fact and it also appears that the KTPs have even highlighted the mentioned sections and also have underlined them.

4.         On being confronted in the mess, it appears that the KTP has heavily under-invoiced the number of extra sheets taken by him during the exam. It appears that he was desperately trying to avoid the OUTCAST DUTY which may have levied by the batch as a consequence of using so many extra answer sheets.

5.         Whereas it was also observed that the KTP availed 10 minutes of extra time as well and kept on writing till the team of invigilators used muscle power to snatch away the answer sheets. It also appears that he kept his answer sheet at such an angel that no CTP nearby could see his answers.

6.        Whereas,  KTP, is  further directed to state in their written reply so as to why

(a) they should not be charged with violation of section 420, section 420 (1) and section 420 (2) of the Indian Probation Code (IPC)

(b) their personal notes should not be confiscated and distributed among the CTPs.

7.         If no cause is shown against the action, proposed to be taken, within 30 days from the date of receipt of this notice and if they do not appear before the head CTP on the date and time fixed for personal hearing, the case will be decided on irrational and unreasonable evidences given by CTPs.
