DISCIPLINARY RULES
106. Whether the suspension is fully justified if the departmental proceedings ended in a minor penalty?
No. Where the departmental proceedings ended with the imposition of a minor penalty, the suspension can be said to be wholly unjustified. The employee concerned should be paid full pay and allowances for the period of suspension. (Rule 54-B of FR)
107. Whether an official who is under suspension can be compelled to attend the office and mark attendance?
No. A direction to the employee to attend the office and mark attendance daily during working hours is illegal. (DOPT OM No. 11012/1/2006-Estt. (A) dated 12.01.2007)
108. Whether the officer performing current duties can place an official under suspension?
Yes. Suspension pending investigation does not amount to a penalty. However, he cannot pass any final orders in the disciplinary cases. (Rule 10 of CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965)
109. Whether pecuniary responsibility will be fixed for routine lapses?
No. Pecuniary responsibility need not be fixed for mere routine or petty lapses. For recovery, negligence should be the direct or prominent cause of the loss, and the loss sustained was a probable consequence of that lapse. (Rule 11 of CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965)
110. If any article is stolen or lost, whether the depreciated value or the real value is to be recovered from the subsidiary offenders?
The depreciated value of the stores may be calculated. The amount to be recovered may be limited to the Government servant's capacity to pay. (Rule 11 of CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965)
