Subject: - Immediate disposal of Disciplinary/Vigilance cases  – request for.

Sir,    

       We would like to inform you that  DOPT and CVC  have  issued OMs/instructions time and again  for immediate disposal of  Disciplinary/Vigilance  Inquiries  in a time bound manner conformity  with  judgments  of  different Courts.  Nevertheless,  there continue  to  be  instances  of  inordinate  delay  in  the  disposal  of  such  disciplinary inquiries.  At present, hundreds of Disciplinary/Vigilance Inquiries are lying pending in Board office and different Cadre Controlling Zones of Central Excise and Customs, which needs urgent disposal in accordance with the guidelines/norms/rules framed by CBEC, DoPT and CVC.  Time norms specified by CVC for conclusion of disciplinary proceedings must be followed in letter and spirit. 

          Your kind attention is invited to Central Vigilance Commission letter No. 000/VGL/18 dated 10.08.2004 regarding adherence to time limits in processing of disciplinary cases wherein it has been mentioned that "Delay in decision-making by authorities in processing of vigilance cases would also be construed as misconduct under the relevant Conduct Rules and would be liable to attract penal action.  All administrative authorities are requested to take note and strictly adhere to the prescribed schedule of time-limits in dealing with disciplinary cases.”  

We therefore  request your good self to order to review the position of all pending cases of Vigilance angle and Non vigilance angle and direct all the concerned authorities to dispose off the cases in time bound manner that too taking logical, acceptable and warranted decision in the matter.             

             Thanking you.

Yours faithfully,

(LOKANATH MISHRA)
