ORDER:
According
to the orders issued in the G.O. read above, an individual who is undergoing
punishment should not be recommended for promotion. In cases where the period
of punishment imposed is already over, each case has to be evaluated by
Departmental Promotion Committee on merits.
2. It has come to the notice that where
an officer had undergone a number of punishments, but they are not subsisting
at the time of the meeting of the Departmental Promotion Committee or the
Screening Committee and the Committees are not very comfortable in recommending
his name but the existing instructions are such that they are interpreted to
mean that a person can be recommended for promotion if there is no subsisting
punishment besides there being no charges or adverse entries even though he
might have undergone a number of punishments in the past. It is noticed that in
some Screening Committees or Departmental Promotion Committees where the
Presiding Officer is very strict, they do not recommend a person if in the past
there are punishments even though at the time of the meeting there is no punishment
subsisting. Government considers that this is the correct stand because a
person who undergoes a number of punishments does not deserve to be promoted to
a selection post even though at the time of Departmental Promotion Committee or
Screening Committee meeting no punishment is subsisting. It is therefore
decided to modify the existing instructions to the Departmental Promotion
Committees or Screening Committees to the effect that they should take into
account the overall performance of the Officer concerned which includes past
punishments and not merely be guided by the fact whether a punishment is
subsisting as on the date of the meeting of the Departmental Promotion
Committee or Screening Committee or on the qualifying date for the preparation
of the panel.
3. The Departments or Secretariat, Heads
of Departments, and the District Collectors are requested to follow the above
guidelines for preparation of list of candidates for promotion or appointment
by transfer to next higher categories.
