Conviction: Railway Servants (Discipline and Appeal) Rules

No.E50 RG6-6, dated 07.07.1952

Sub: Conviction of Railway servants in Court of Law.

It has been represented to the Board that the instructions issued by them regarding the procedure to be followed in cases of dismissal or discharge of Railway servants following conviction by a Criminal Court have not been strictly followed by some railway administration. The instructions issued by the Board in the matter are those contained in their letter No.E50 RG6-6, dated the 4^th February, 1950, from which it will be observed that in respect of cases of conviction in a Criminal Court, dismissal in such cases is not to be automatic but that each case should be examined on its merits and orders imposing the appropriate penalty passed after careful examination of the charges against the Railway servant concerned. The Board desire that steps should be taken to circularize these instructions.
