LAW DEPARTMENT MAY BE CONSULTED IN DECIDING MATTER OF INDIVIDUAL CASES RELATED TO THE PROMOTION AND HELD DEPARTMENTAL PROCEEDINGS

It has been noticed that due to delay in deciding the cases in the courts or the held departmental proceedings take unduly long time to come to a conclusion inspite of all efforts and the government servant has to undergo considerable hardship, even where it is not intended to deprive him of promotion for such a long time, In the circumstances the government have considered the question how the hardship caused by the long pendency of disciplinary/ court proceedings to the government servants could be mitigated , As such the delay in deciding the cases/ proceedings whether departmental or in a court of law,is not directly or indirectly attributed to official concerned,so matter has been considered in consultation with the law department and it is felt that there is no legal bar to continue with the departmental action except when there is a stay order by court and it is appreciated that it will be better for the Administrative Department to seek the advice of the law department in such individual cases whether to pend or proceed with the case departmentally in the interest of review and revision of the pending cases required to be settled under law code manual of the procedure for consideration of cases of the government servants under suspension or against whom disciplinary proceedings are pending
