ORDER:
In
order to implement various schemes for the welfare of the public, different special
services have been created to suit the requirements. The Government consider it
necessary to have decentralisation of the powers to the extent possible to the
field level for speedy and quick decisions on various issues so as to minimise
the delay and reduce red tape in the administration. It is the earnest
endeavour of Government to have a transparent and efficient administration in
decision making and implementation.
2. Accordingly, it has been decided by
the Government to confer status of appointing authorities in respect of first
level and second level Gazetted posts in the State Service to the regional
authorities as well as Heads of Departments respectively. Thereby the
appointing authority for all initial Gazetted categories in State Service shall
be the regional authorities where the regional offices exist. For the second
level Gazetted posts in State Service, the Heads of the Department shall be the
appointing authority. For the third level and above Gazetted posts, the Government
shall be the appointing authority
3. Where no regional offices exist, the
Head of the Department shall be the appointing authority for both the first
level and second level Gazetted categories in State Service.
4. Accordingly, the following adhoc rule is
issued.

published in the Andhra Pradesh Gazette:
