It has been decided that in cases where any of the witnesses in a departmental inquiry is a retired government servant and is appearing before the Commissioners for Departmental Inquiries (CDI), the expenses on payment of admissible TA/DA to such witness would be borne by the Central Vigilance Commission and subsequently be adjusted with the department concerned, it said.
“It has been decided that all ministries or departments shall ensure that all major penalty proceedings against government servants under their control are completed and final orders are passed by the concerned disciplinary authority within 18 months from the date of delivery of charge-sheet on the delinquent government servant,” the Ministry said.
All ministries or departments have been asked to ensure that whenever a disciplinary case file is submitted to the disciplinary authority, seeking approval for initiation of departmental proceedings against a government servant, a complete draft of the articles of charge along with the imputations in support and the list of witnesses and documents, shall also be submitted.
