Vigilance Commission - impleading before APAT
2. From the Registrar,
AP.Administrative Tribunal, Letter No.1301/APAT/Con./77, dated 28-11-1977.
3. From the Government
Pleaders for Revenue (S) and (E.H)letter No.143/Admn./77, dated 7-12-1977.
In the Government Memorandum 1st cited, all Government Pleaders have been requested among others to urge before the Tribunal at the admission stage of the Representation Petition itself for striking off the name of the Vigilance Commissioner whenever he is impleaded as a respondent in the Representation Petition and to claim privilege under section 123 or section 124 of the Indian Evidence Act whenever the Tribunal calls for records of the Vigilance Commissioner.
In the reference 3rd cited, the Government Pleaders for Revenue (S) and (E &H), have pleaded that they have no locus standi to argue for the removal of the name of the Vigilance Commissioner from the Cause Title at the admission stage of the Representation Petition.
The
Government have again examined the matter and are advised that it is open to
the law officers to urge before the Tribunal that the name of any particular
respondent be struck off on the ground that such respondent has been wrongly
impleaded. Accordingly, the Government Pleaders are requested to take all
requisite action in the matter.
