80. KNOWLEDGE SPECTRUM - DISCIPLINE - FAQ
157. Some officers are causing oral instructions. After some time another officer is questioning the authority. What is the exact position on oral instructions?
(i) Oral instructions should not, as far as possible be issued by senior officers to their subordinates.
(ii) If the oral instructions are issued by any senior officer, they should be confirmed by him in writing immediately thereafter.
(iii) If a junior officer seeks confirmation to the oral instructions given by the senior, the latter should confirm it in writing whenever such confirmation is sought.
(iv) A junior officer who has received oral orders from his superior officer should seek confirmation in writing as early as possible/practicable.
158. Is there any provision to proceed against an employee on anonymous complaint?
No. Rule 183 of Vol III clearly stipulated that no action should be taken on anonymous and pseudonymous complaint against any Government servants. But if the complaint discloses very serious matter and contains verifiable facts then necessary enquiry should be conducted. If such an inquiry reveals serious irregularity on the part of the employee disciplinary action can be taken.
159. Whether one officer from the department should be sent along with the official who is summoned for interrogation by the police or not?
When a departmental official is required by the police officers for interrogation, invariably a senior official like ASP/SDI/PRI (P) should accompany the official and he should remain till the interrogation by the police is over with a view to give protection to the official taken for interrogation.
