@@@@@

Instructions were issued in the memo cited to the effect that there is no legal objection to departmental enquiry being conducted, while the Police are making an investigation, but when once a court has taken cognizance of a criminal case, the departmental authority should stop all further proceedings; that it is not obligatory that the departmental proceedings should be stayed when the case is pending in a Court or Law, except when it is expedient to do so in the interest of fair play. It is necessary that criminal proceedings and departmental action should be processed without loss or time with a view to avoiding manipulations and loss of evidence.

 2. The Public Accounts Committee in its earlier reports from V^th  Legislative Assembly to  IX^th Legislative Assembly has recommended interalia that procedure should he laid down by which after initial production or original records departmental action of police investigation could proceed by using photostat copies etc ..

 3. The Government accept the above recommendation and the instructions issued in the reference cited arc therefore reiterated.

 4. All the Departments of Secretarial and the Heads of Departments are requested to follow the above instructions, scrupulously and bring these instructions to the notice of all concerned.
