Appointment of Presenting Officers in Disciplinary cases under the CCA Rules

Circular No. DPAR 46 SSR 79, dated 28th June 1979

Sub:- Appointment of Presenting Officers in Disciplinary cases under the CCA Rules

Under rule 11(5) (c) of the Karnataka Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules 1957 the disciplinary authority could nominate a Government servant as a Presenting Officer to present the case on behalf of the disciplinary authority in a departmental inquiry instituted aganist any other Government servant. The Government servant to be nominated as the Presenting Officer would normally be the one who is working under the control/jurisdiction of the concerned Disciplinary Authority. If for any reasons, the Disciplinary Authority proposes to appoint a Government servant who is not under its control / jurisidiction but under the control of any other Authority, the former Authority has, necessarily, to consult the latter Authority and seek its concurrence before appointing such a Government servant as the Presenting Officer.
All the Disciplinary Authorities in various Departments and Offices should keep in view, the above position and ensure that as far as possible, only the Government servants under their jurisdiction are appointed as Presenting Officers in cases relating to disciplinary proceedings and if any other Government servant is to be nominated as Presenting Officer, the concerned Disciplinary Authority under whose control the Government servant is working should invariably be consulted.
All the Secretaries to Government and Heads of Departments are requested to bring the above instructions to the notice of all the Disciplinary / Appointing Authorities under their control.
