NEED FOR SPEEDY DISPOSAL OF WORK AND FINAL DISPOSAL OF CASES.

Efficiency in administration and need for speedy disposal of work is declared essential after the introduction of the RTI and the RTS act adjudication and it should be realised by the government servants that the administrative delays are becoming a source of discontent and the delay breeds corruption and effective implementation of the Government policies and programmes largely depends upon an efficient and speedy disposal of work. At the same time monitoring of disposal, identification of delays and remedial action is necessary as per the time limit for disposal of references, processing of papers containing information, instructions or decision and conclusion of the Head of the offices and the Heads of the departments as well as the Government corridor, so there quick and efficient processing is therefore the first step towards improving the office efficiency. As per law code manual prefixed by the department of administrative reforms the Government has issued instructions to the all offices where in the time limit for the disposal of the cases at the level of officers higher than the branch officer, including the Heads of departments and the administrative Secretaries will be one week from the date of receipt of a reference/case received by them. As for as final disposal of reference is concerned, it is essential that what ever information is required /wanting in the case, should be asked for in the first back reference and there should normally be no need to make further reference. To check this tendency of repeated back references, and to ensure prompt disposal of references, the Government have laid down the time limits for final disposal of references. These time limits for the three categories of references are as follows:-- Immediate--one month, Urgent--two months and ordinary--three months. The above periods are the maximum limits within which the cases should be finally disposed of by the Departments. However, every effort should be made to finalise the cases in the shortest time possible.
