No.GAD 80 SSR 65. Mysore Government Secretariat, Vidhana Soudha, Bangalore, dated 11th April, 1966.
OFFICIAL MEMORANDUM
Sub:- Promotion of Government Servants involved in Departmental Enquiries.
Instructions have been issued in Official Memorandum No.GAD (S.1) 56 SSR 59, dated 9th October 1959 in the matter of promotion of Officers whose conduct comes under Departmental enquiry and who are subsequently exhonerated.
2. Government have considered the question further and in modification of the instructions contained in the Official Memorandum cited in para 2 above, hereby issue the following instructions for the guidance of the appointing and disciplinary authorities.
(a) While considering the question of promotion of a Government Servant from one grade to another, the fact that a departmental enquiry is pending against him whatever may be the stage of the enquiry, should not be taken into consideration except in those cases where the Government Servant is under suspension. In determining the quantum of punishment at the culmination of the enquiry, the fact that the Officer has in the meantime been promoted may of course be taken into account.
(b) If the offence for which a departmental enquiry is started against a Government Servant is so serious that his further promotion would not be in public interest, the Government Servant concerned should be placed under suspension forthwith and the question of his promotion, if any, should be decided after completion of the enquiry in accordance with instructions issued in O.M. dated 9-10-1959.
3. All Departmental enquiries should be completed within a period of six months in order to avoid hardships to the accused Government Servants. Officers and Officials responsible for delay in holding and finalising departmental enquiries will be held personally responsible, if inordiante delays come to Government's notice.
