IN CASE OF A TECHNICAL FLAW IN THE DEPARTMENTAL PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE ,IT IS NECESSARY TO ELIMINATE ALL AVOIDABLE DELAYS ,AS VITIATING THE ENTIRE ACTION , UNDER LAW CODE MANUAL PREFIXED BY THE CONSTITUTION , AND MUST BE METICULOUSLY FOLLOWED , ENSURING STATUTORY PROVISONS.

For the purpose of keeping the government informed about the latest position of all the vigilance cases/ Complaints the Heads of the Departments have to submit the following statistical returns to the Director of vigilance in the prescribed pro-formae :-- (a)  Quarterly Statistical return of the all Complaints and vigilance cases both against Gazetted and non -Gazetted Employees.(b) Quarterly return of prosecution cases both against Gazetted and the non Gazetted Employees.(c) Quarterly Statistical return of Public servants under suspension .(d) Six monthly progress report on all vigilance cases both against the Gazetted and the non -Gazetted Employees. The vigilance manual prefixed by the government of Himachal Pradesh must be processed for proforma and furnished accordingly and the following points must be kept in view in dealing with the Complaints and holding the departmental enquiries against the defaulters/government servants. The finalisation of departmental enquiries against the delinquent officers some time take years .Beside harassment to the government servant, it defeats the very object of the proceedings as there is a possibility of the evidence being tampered with or the witnesses won over. Some times a technical flaw in a proceeding vitiates the entire action . Effective steps should, therefore be taken to eliminate all avoidable delays in departmental enquiries while at the same time ensuring that the constitutional and statutory provisions in regard to such enquiries are meticulously followed .
