The judgement delivered by the Delhi High Court three days back on the petitions filed by certain ITS office-bearers is an opportunity for the ITS officers to opt for absorption in BSNL and end the stalemate. The Court has given direction that the option date is to be   2005 and that the ITS officers should given their final option within 2 weeks of the judgement.

BSNL has suffered a lot in its development, expansion and services due to the unenviable situation of the non-settlement of the absorption of ITS officers in BSNL. A lot of heart-burning has also been caused.

Now that Delhi High Court has issued the order on absorption, the ITS officers should take a final decision whether to be part of BSNL or want to be in surplus cell and be in doubt about their future career.
