All
the Departments of Secretariat are informed that the proviso under sub rule 2
(b) of Rule 6 of A.P.C.S. (DPT) Rules, 1989, provides that the Government after
receipt of report from the Tribunal for Disciplinary Proceedings, shall consult
the A.P. Vigilance Commission in regard to the course of further action to be
taken and take the advice into consideration before orders are passed. In all
cases, final report of Tribunal for Disciplinary Proceedings shall be sent to
the A.P. Vigilance Commission in duplicate along with relevant records by the
Administrative Departments of Secretariat for its advice both before arriving
provisional conclusion and after receiving representation of the Delinquent
Officer and before arriving at a final conclusion in respect of the penalty to
be imposed on the Government Servant concerned. The Andhra Pradesh Vigilance
Commission will examine the record and forward the same to the Administrative
Department concerned with advice as to further course of action. So also, in
the cases of inquiry by the G.A. (COI) Department or by the Departmental
Officers, after conclusion of inquiry, the Department concerned shall forward
to the Vigilance Commission a report of its conclusion together with relevant
records for advice. Forwarding of record of inquiry is vital for tendering
advice by the Commission and it is not possible for the Commission to tender
advice without examining the record of inquiry.
2. It has been brought
to the notice of the Government that inspite of Rule Position, some Departments
of Secretariat are not forwarding the records of inquiry, though the Manuals of
A.P. Vigilance Commission supplied to them specify such an action. The
Departments of Secretariat and other Disciplinary Authorities are referring
disciplinary cases to the A.P. Vigilance Commission for advice without
forwarding the record of inquiry, making the Commission to insist for record of
inquiry time and again, resulting in delays in tendering advice.
3. All the Departments
of Secretariat and other Disciplinary Authorities are requested to forward
complete records of inquiry to the A.P. Vigilance Commission for its advice in
Tribunal for Disciplinary Proceedings, G.A, (COI) and Departmental Enquiries
under A.P.C.S. (DPT) Rules or A.P.C.S. (C.C.A) Rules. ·
4. These instructions
should be followed scrupulously.
