OFFICIAL MEMORANDUM
Sub:- Government servants involved in the Departmental enquiries - taking assistance of other Government Servant.

According to sub-rule (5) of rule 11 of the Mysore Civil Services (C.C.A.) Rules 1957, as it stood prior to August 1965, a Government servant against whom departmental proceedings were being held could take the assistance of another Government to servant only with the approval of the disciplinary authority. Based on this provision, instructions were issued in O.M. No. GAD 21 OSR 60 dated 28.7.1960 that in such cases a Government servant could take the assistance of another Government servant only with the approval of the Disciplinary Authority.
The afore said sub-rule was amended by Government Notfication No. GAD 15 SSR 65, dated 26.8.65 and the provision requiring approval of the Disciplinary Authority in such cases was deleted. Consequently, it is not necessary for Government servant who desires to take the assistance of other Government servant in such cases to obtain the approval of the Disciplinary Authority. The written consent of the Government servant whose assistance is sought to be taken should however, be produced before the Disciplinary Authority who should formally inform the Head of the Department, in which the assisting Government Servant is working, of the fact.
The Secretaries to Government and Heads of Departments are requested to bring the position explained above to the notice of all the officers under their control.
