Sub: Posting of staff transferred on Vigilance ground back to their original Railway/ Division.
1. The issue of repatriation of delinquent Railway staff transferred to other Railways/ Divisions, on Vigilance/ Disciplinary grounds back to their parent Railway/ Division has been engaging the attention of Board for some time.
2. The matter has been examined in detail in consultation with Vigilance Dte. of the Railway Board. In supersession of instructions contained in Board’s letter of even number dated 23.10.2006, the following decisions have been taken with respect to the different types of cases:-
(i) Cases ultimately culminating in exoneration:-
Requests, if any, received from the concerned staff for posting back to the original (parent) Railway/ Division may be considered by the General Manager(s) at any time after the closure of D&AR proceedings, in other words, no minimum time limit on the applicant’s stay in a foreign Railway/ Division would be applicable.
(ii) Cases ultimately culminating in imposition of minor penalty:-
Requests, if any, received from the concerned staff for a posting back to the original (parent) Railway/ Division may be considered by the General Manager(s) only after a lapse of 3 years beyond the date of completion of the period of punishment.
(iii) Cases ultimately culminating in imposition of a major penalty:-
Requests, if any, received from the concerned staff for a posting back to the original (parent) Railway/ Division may only be considered by the General Manager(s) after a lapse of at least 6 years beyond the date of completion of the period of punishment.
(iv) In respect of cases covered under Para (2) and (3) above, posting back at precisely the office/ place/ station at which the irregularity had been originally committed/ detected by Vigilance is not to be allowed.
(v) Request for a posting back to the original (parent) Railway/ Division shall not be considered in case of employees falling in the category of “habitual” offenders (those against whom offences have been lodged repetitively) and/or employees against whom (other) vigilance – related matters are pending at the time of consideration of the request.
3. Powers in respect of the above provisions shall be exercised by the General Manager(s) of the concerned Zonal Railways/ Production Unit personally and shall not be delegated further.
