No.2001/TG.I/14/P. New Delhi, Dated: 06 .11.2001

The Chief Commercial Managers,
All Zonal Railways.

(Commercial Circular No. 76 of 2001 )
Sub: Allotment of Emergency quota to VIPs.

Please refer to this office letter number 98/TG.I/14/P dated 23-04-
1998 wherein the detailed procedure for allotment of emergency quota has
been enumerated. In para (v) of these instructions it has been advised that
the train originating centres/ chart preparation centres should take out the list
of the VIPs including MPs booked and action should be taken by the
incharge to seek reservation from the emergency quota controlling
authorities. :

However, an instance had come to notice where emergency quota was
released in favour of an Hon’ble Member of Parliament who was lower in
warrant of precedence and one Hon’ble Judge of High Court who was higher
in warrant of precedence was not allotted the quota. This fact came to light
only after preparation of charts and manual corrections were made to
accommodate the Hon’ble Judge of High Court who is placed higher in
watrant of precedence. The deletion of name of Hon’ble Member of
Parliament led to a privilege motion in the Parliament.

The matter has been reviewed and it has been decided that once
emergency quota has been fed into the computer, no manual correction
should be resorted to. Zonal Railways should, however, ensure that before
feeding the emergency quota the list of VIPs would be invariably taken out
at the train originating /chart preparation centre and action should be taken
to accommodate the VIPs as per their inter-se seniority in warrant of

precedence. Necessary instructions may be issued to all concerned and

receipt of this letter acknowledged.
