No.000/DSP/1
Satarkta
Bhawan, Block ‘A’, To All
Chief Vigilance Officers
The Commission tenders its second stage advice
before the DA decides on the outcome of the inquiry in the case of major
penalty or takes a view on the minor penalty proceedings after receipt
of the explanation of the charged official.
Sometimes after imposition of the punishment by the Disciplinary
Authority, the charged official makes an appeal.
The Appellate Authority is expected to keep the advice tendered
by the Commission and decide on the appeal.
In case the Appellate Authority decides to deviate from the
advice given by the Commission on appeal, the CVO will report this to
the Commission which will
take an appropriate view whether the deviation is serious enough to be
included in its Annual Report.
2.The Commission further wishes to
stress that reconsideration of advice will be only in exceptional cases
at the specific request of the DA, before a decision is taken by it to
impose the punishment or otherwise.
After a decision has been taken by DA or the Appellate Authority,
the Commission will not entertain any reconsideration proposal.
Such cases will be treated only as “deviation” from and
non-acceptance of Commission’s advice.
Yours
faithfully, |
