Ref: U.O. Note No.490/SC.D/85-2, GA. (SC.D) Dept., Dated 19-7-1985.
@@@@@
The
former Dhanna Maha Matra has suggested that no Government employee should neither enquire or deal
with the case of a person who has had to do with any enquiry against him.
2.
Thie matter has been examined having regard, to the provisions of Andhra
Pradesh Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules and the
instructions issued thereunder from time to time. According to the instructions
on the subject the Enquiry Officer should have an open mind and should not be
prejudiced against the officer involved in an enquiry. In view of the above it
is reasonable to presume that an officer against whom an enquiry was conducted by
another officer, would not be fair when he had to conduct an enquiry against
the latter officer who enquired against him previously.
3.
Therefore, in order to avoid such unpleasantness or misapprehension, the
Government have decided to accept the suggestion of the former Dharma Maha
Matra and they accordingly direct that no Government employee should either
enquire or deal with the case of a person who has had to do with any enquiry
against him.
4. All the departments of Secretariat, and Heads of Departments are requested to follow the above instructions scrupulously and also communicate the above instructions to the concerned authorities for their guidance while dealing with the above type of cases.
