ORDER:
In
para 11 of the G.O. first read above, orders were issued that an individual who
is undergoing punishment should not be recommended for promotion. In cases. where
the period of punishment imposed is already over, each has to be evaluated by
the Departmental Promotion Committee on merits. In the G.O. second read above, orders were issued lo the effect that the penally of stoppage of increments
with cumulative effect amounts to a major penally under the Andhra Pradesh
Civil Services (Classifications, Control & Appeal) Rules, 1991 and the
elaborate procedure prescribed under rule 20 of the said rules is to be
followed.
2. A question arose whether the
punishment of stoppage of increment with cumulative effect constitutes a
permanent bar for promotion and also whether it is with or without cumulative
effect, the punishment should be deemed to be subsisting to the extent of the
number of annual grade increments stopped. There is a suggestion that if it is
a case of stoppage of increments with cumulative effect, the punishment should
be deemed to run for twice the period for which the increment is stopped for.
For example, if the punishment is the stoppage of two increments with cumulative
effect. the Officer should be denied of his promotion / appointment by transfer
for four years.
3. After careful consideration, it has
been decided that since the fact that the stoppage of increment with cumulative
effect is a major penalty under the Andhra Pradesh Civil Services
(Classification, Control & Appeal) Rules, 1991, the Government direct that
whenever any Government servant is punished with the stoppage of increment with
cumulative effect, the cases of such officers shall not be considered for
promotion / appointment by transfer for twice the number of years for which the
increment(s) is / are stopped with cumulative effect.
4. All Departments of Secretariat/Heads
of Departments shall follow the above orders scrupulously and bring it to the
notice of all concerned.

and in the Name of the Governor of Andhra Pradesh)
