CCS - CONDUCT RULES 1964
17. Whether any permission necessary for
Government servants for seeking redressal in the Courts of Law of their
grievances arising out of their employment?
No permission is necessary for
Government servants for seeking redressal in Courts of Law of their grievances
arising out of their employment or conditions of service:
1. Government servants seeking redress
of their grievances arising out of their employment or conditions of service
should first exhaust the normal official channels of redress before they take
the issue to a Court of Law. this is necessary in their own interest and also
to be consistent with official propriety and discipline.
2. Wherever permission to sue Government in a
Court of Law for the redress of such grievances is sought for by any Government
servant either before or after exhausting the normal official channels, he
should be informed that such permission is not necessary and that if he decides
to have recourse to a Court of Law, he may do so on his own responsibility.
(G. I. D. (11) below Rule 3)
18. What are all the provisions in the Conduct rules to deal with Government servants who fail to look after the proper maintenance of their families?
A Government servant is expected to
maintain a responsible and decent standard of conduct in his private life and
not bring discredit to his service by his misdemeanour. Government servants who
to look after the proper maintenance of their families should be regarded as
behaving in a manner quite unbecoming of a Government servant which would
constitute good and sufficient reasons to justify action being taken against
them under the C. C. S. (C. C. A.) Rules. Any of the statutory penalties
specified in Rule 11 of the said rules can be inflicted on such Government
servants after observing the prescribed procedure. Neglect by a Govt servant of
his wife and family in a manner unbecoming of a govt servant may be regarded as
good and sufficient reasons to justify action being taken against him under
this rule.
(G. I. D. (12) below Rule 3)
19. What action will
be taken against a govt employee who adopts dilatory tactics in dealing with
the public?
There is general feeling amount the
public that some of the employees are adopting lack of the spirit of service
and dilatory methods and tactics in their dealing with the public. These lapses
on the part of public services very often compel the public to seek the
intervention of the Court or legislators or public men of importance for
disposal of a routine nature. Therefore the services should realize the
particular obligations through democratic methods for which voluntary
co-operation of the people is essential. Like wise the Govt would be watchful
in ensuring that govt machinery as a whole as come in direct contact with the
public are helpful in attitude and quick in disposal of cases and that
deterrent and prompt action is taken against discourteous behaviour and
dilatory tactics. As such if any complaint is received against any Govt servant
that he has acted in discourteous manner or adopted dilatory tactics in his
dealings with the public and if it is established that he has so acted,
deterrent and prompt action should be taken against him.
(Rule GID (18) below rule 3)
20. What are all the
provisions in the Conduct Rules for observance of proper decorum by the
Government servants inside and outside the office?
A number of Govt employees play cards
on lawns outside the office buildings and other open spaces in Govt office and
premises. These games generally degenerate into gambling and non govt servants
also some times participate in such games. The sight of groups of Govt servants
playing card around and inside Govt offices is not becoming and does not
promote discipline and decorum in the Govt offices. A large number of Govt
employees continue to play games in the quadrangles well beyond the prescribed
lunch hour of half an hour, besides this the indoor games are continued till
very late in the evening, which puts a strain on the security arrangements in
the Govt buildings. It is therefore instructed that:
(i) No govt servant should play cards on
the lawns and such other places inside and outside office buildings.
(ii) The game of cards should be confined to
the recreation rooms or places approved for such purposes.
(iii) No indoor games should be played in
office building after 7 PM except on special occasions such as tournaments etc.
Persons found violating these
instructions will be liable to disciplinary action Instructions also exist to
the effect that the half hour limit for lunch break must be scrupulously
observed not only by the subordinate staff but also by supervisory officers and
that periodic surprise checks should be made to ensure that this limits not
exceeded by any one.
