RBE No. 124/1993: Inter-divisional Transfer
No.E(NG)I-92/TR/32/JCM (DC), dated 10.08.1993
Sub: Inter-divisional transfer of Ticket Checking Staff.
1. As the Railways are aware, in terms of existing orders, Ticket Checking Staff detected to be indulging in malpractices are required to be sent on inter-divisional transfer as a matter of policy. It was, however, clarified under Board’s letter No.E(NG)I-80/TR/28, dated 13.04.1989 (RBE No. 102/1989) that GMs may review the cases of inter-divisional transfer of staff ordered by them on suspicion of malpractices, if after proper enquiry, such a staff are fully exonerated.
2. This issue came up for discussion in the Departmental Council under JCM on 21/22.01.1993 when the staff side desired that GMs should be allowed to review such cases also where the disciplinary proceedings end up with only a ‘censure’.
3. The matter has since been reviewed by the Board and it has been decided that GMs may review cases of those ticket checking staff also who were transferred out of division on account of suspected malpractices and were awarded only the penalty of ‘censure’ on finalization of disciplinary proceedings.
4. Needless to say that while reviewing such cases, the General Manager will exercise their discretion in deciding whether the inter-divisional transfers should be revoked or not, i.e. revocation of such transfer order will not be automatic.
