Under rule 31 (1)(xxxiv) of the Madras Government Business Rules as applied to the State and Andhra, all cases in which it is proposed to deviate from the advice tendered by the State Public Service Commission shall be circulated to the Chief Minister before issue of orders. In 1952, the Special Officer for reorganisation of the Secretariat of the Composite Madras State suggested that in view of the importance attached by the Constitution to the State Public Service Commission, it seems but proper that all cases in which it is prepared to deviate from the advice tendered by the State Public Service Commission should be circulated to the Governor before issue of orders and that Business Rule 31 (2) may be amplified accordingly. The suggestion has been examined and it has been decided that it is not necessary to provide for this by a rule but that it will be sufficient if a convention is established that all cases, in which it is proposed to differ from the advice tendered by the Commission, are circulated to the Governor for information.
Departments of the Secretariat are requested to bear in mind the above convention in dealing with cases in which it is proposed to deviate from the advice given by the Commission and circulate such cases to the Governor also, before the issue of orders.
