Case Number Appeal No. 8 (L) of 1981
Decision Date Sep 27, 1983
Hearing Date Sep 27, 1983
Decision The appeal was dismissed as the appellant was deemed to be under suspension automatically due to the criminal charges against him. The Tribunal concluded that the provisions of the Government Servants (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, 1973 did not apply since the appellant had not yet been proceeded against departmentally. It was determined that the department should issue a suspension order under Article 194-A of the Civil Service Regulations effective from the date of bail to complete the technical formality.
Summary This case revolves around the suspension of a civil servant involved in a defalcation case. The appellant, who was initially suspended, contested the extension of his suspension period citing that it had lapsed. The court ruled that he was automatically suspended under Article 194 due to his imprisonment and that the department must issue a specific order under Article 194-A upon his bail. The judgment emphasizes the importance of following due process in suspension cases and the implications of criminal charges on government employees. This case highlights the intersection of civil service regulations and criminal law, making it significant for understanding employee rights and administrative law.
