No. 14/Ve-58-1 (6) dated 10th April, 1947 All subordinate courts should co-operate with the District Anti-corruption Committee in the eradication of bribery and corruption. (ii) Disciplinary proceedings C.L. No. 7/VIIIf-30 dated 18th January, 1951 and C.L. No. 51/Ve-5 dated 18th May, 1951 Numerous cases of disciplinary proceedings against government servants in civil courts have come to the notice of the Government in appeal which revealed that one irregularity or the other was committed during the proceedings, thereby vitiating the order of punishment. Such orders have to be declared null and void and the government servants re-instated in service or the proceedings have to be held de nove. To avoid the embarrassment and the expenditure which is thus caused, the whole procedure to be followed in such cases was communicated to all Heads of Departments in G.O. No. 01827/IIB-641-41, dated March 30, 1950 and it was pointed out that it shall be the direct responsibility of the punishing authority to ensure that the statutory provisions of rule 55 of the Civil Service (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, read with Article 311 of the Constitution of India are scrupulously observed in all such cases. C.L. No. 97 dated 7th June, 1976 Invites attention of the District Judges to the provisions of the U.P. Subordinate Courts Staff (Punishment and Appeals) Rules, 1976 which deal with the procedure for taking disciplinary action against officials of civil court. C.L. No. 107/Ve-5/Admn (D) dated 27th November, 1990 Expeditious disposal of inquiries pending against suspended employees. I am directed to say that the instances have come to the notice of the Court that after suspension of an employee neither any inquiry officer was appointed nor the charge sheet was served upon him for a considerable long lime. This is against the settled principles of law that a suspension order cannot continue endlessly without issuing a charge-sheet. I am, therefore, to say that whenever an employee is placed under suspension there should be no delay in serving the charge- sheet and holding an enquiry against the suspended employee and the enquiry should be concluded as expeditiously as possible. C.L. No.69/2007Admin(D) : Dated : 13.12.2007 Expeditious disposal of the disciplinary proceedings It has been observed by the Hon'ble Court that a large number of the disciplinary proceedings are pending in various judgeships even after the retirement of the official concerned . Viewing it with concern the Hon'ble Court has desired that keeping the departmental proceedings pending for a considerable long time is prejudicial both to the interest of the administration as well as to the interest of the official concerned as on the one hand it would grant the guilty official continued opportunity to persist with wrongdoing consequently jeopardizing the cause of administration while on the other hand the innocent official would be adversely affected in getting his monitory and career related dues on time .Therefore it has been desired by the Hon'ble Court that such inquiries must be completed with in a period of three months. 197 Therefore, I am directed to request you to kindly ensure that all the departmental inquires against the staff members should be concluded with in a period of three months from the date of their institution . I am,further to add that the contents of this Circular Letter may please be brought to the notice of all the Judicial Officers working under your administrative control for strict compliance . (iii) Punishment G.L. No. 2838 dated 20th August, 1923 A copyist who after due and sufficient warning either cannot or will not write a legible hand should be dismissed. G.L. No. 39/Xa-14 dated 1st June, 1955 Any official found responsible for neglect in the duty of enclosing copy of plaint or application with the summonses or notices should be seriously dealt with. C.L. No. 84/VIII- b-10 dated 7th September, 1953 Whenever a notice is received from the Presiding Officer of a court by a District Judge of the proposed issue of a warrant of arrest against any member of the civil court staff in his judgeship, he should take steps to suspend or otherwise- relieve such government servant with as little delay, as possible and inform the Presiding Officer concerned of the probable date of such suspension or relief. C.L. No. 34/Admn. (D) dated 1st April, 1978 Invites attention to the principles laid down in G.K. Naidu versus State of M.P., AIR 1968 SC 240 and the provisions of Fundamental Rule 54(B) of Financial Hand Book Vol. II, Part II to IV as amended up-to-date. All the District Judges are requested to see that before passing final orders for forfeiting or disallowing any part of the salary for the period of suspension in the case of a delinquent official, the aforesaid rule is strictly followed by giving the official notice of the quantum proposed and considering the representation, if any. C.L. No. 18/Ve-94(99) Admn. (D) dated 2nd April, 1981 Encloses G.O. No. 5602/xx-1-80-13/167/77 dated 25th Nov., 1980 and requires all the District Judges to send information to the Government in the event of termination/compulsory retirement of a temporary scheduled caste/scheduled tribes government servant from service, within a month. C. L.. No.74/2007Admin(D) : Dated : 13.12. 2007 Punitive action against defaulting process servers The Hon'ble Court has observed that despite there being adequate number of process servers in each judgeship the sufficient number of processes are not being served by the process servers. As per Circular Letter no. 54 of 1968 every process server must effect service of at least 700 processes every year but the compliance of this direction is not being made. Therefore, in continuation of the above noted Circular Letter I am directed to say that wherever the process servers are found wanting in achieving the target , punitive action against the defaulting process server must be initiated by the Officer In charge Nazarat and the District Judge concerned .
