CIRCULAR

Sub:- Issue of instructions regarding rendering of assistance by Government Servants to the Vigilance Commission in departmental inquiries.

In the circulars No. GAD 57 PVC 74, dated the 16th September, 1974 and the 27th December, 1974 instructions have been issued to all Heads of Departments and Secretaries to Government to ensure that whenever any officer of the Vigilance Commission makes a request for any assistance during the course of investigation the same should be rendered immediately without having to obtain orders of the higher authorities and keep such information given or discussions made as confidential. The Heads of Departments were also requested to issue instructions to their subordinate officers in this behalf. It was made
clear that any instance of non-co-operation by any official would be viewed seriously by the Government.
2. Despite these instructions the Vigilance Commission has brought to the notice of the Government that investigations taken up by the Vigilance Commission against Government Servants are held up for considerable time on account of lack of co-operation by the officials concerned with the investigating officers. It has also been brought to the notice of the Government that non-cooperation persists despite requests made demiofficially to the higher authorities in that behalf.
3. Government have taken serious note of this position and it is hereby against directed that every Government Servant required to furnish any information within his/her knowledge in official capacity to any investigating officer of the Vigilance Commission should make available the same within the shortest possible time. The Heads of Departments are requested to ensure that this is done. In any case where a Government Servant is found to show non-cooperation in this matter and in cases where instances of non-cooperation have been brought to the notice of the Heads of the Departments by the Vigilance Commission or the investigating authorities, appropriate departmental action should be taken against the Government Servant concerned.
