D&A Rules – Appointing Authority – Where Records not Available

No.E(D&A)63RG6-23, dated 21.02.1964

Sub: Discipline and Appeal Rules – “Appointing Authority” of a staff in relation to imposition of penalties of dismissal/ removal/ compulsory retirement.

Please refer to Sri B.D.Gaur, Director Establishment’s D.O. of even number dated 14.06.1963 to your C.P.Os. on the above subject and the letter’s reply thereto. The Board have carefully considered the matter in consultation with the Ministry of Law and decided that in cases where the records or appointment letters to show the actual appointing authority are not available, the General Manager should be treated as the ‘Appointing Authority’ and it would not be safe to follow any other course.
