It has been brought to the notice of Heads of Departments including Secretaries to Government in item (3) of the Circular Memorandum No. 3037/64-3, dated: the 26th November, 1964, General Administration (Ser.C) Department, that in proved cases of bribery and corruption, no punishment other than that of dismissal should be considered adequate and if any lesser punishment is awarded in such cases, adequate reasons should be given for it in writing. Government have reason to believe that those orders are not being implemented fully. Government, therefore, reiterate again that in all such cases there should be no hesitation to impose the maximum penalty viz., dismissal from service.
2. In order to ensure that the above instructions are being followed scrupulously inspecting officers are requested to review at the time of their inspecting the offices all cases of corruption and bribery, where the maximum penalty has not been awarded by the competent authority.
