F. No.
AICEIA/CBEC/CR/2014/30 Date: 18.11.2014
To
The
Chairman,
Central
Board of Excise & Customs,
North
Block,
New
Delhi-110 001.
Subject: - Inordinate delays in
deciding Disciplinary/Vigilance Inquiries – reg.
Sir,
At the very outset, we wish to make
it clear that we do not support any officer who willingly violates the
rules/regulations and indulge in corruption.
However, wherever disciplinary proceedings initiated by the department,
it is imperative that the proceedings are carried out in an expeditious manner
as delay effects moral of the officer
and the performance of the department as well.
Moreover, timely completion of Departmental/Vigilance proceedings is in
the best interest of the both officer and the department.
From time to
time, the Government of India has
issued executive instructions to further
streamline the procedure
for Disciplinary/Vigilance Inquiries in conformity
with judgments of the High/Supreme Court.
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 different Cadre Controlling Zones of Central
Excise, 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.
Sir, 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 take this opportunity to 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.
In view of the foregoing, I take this opportunity to
request your good-self to sensitize the
Disciplinary Proceedings machinery so that it has a human face with the employees. The role of the vigilance department should
not be reduce but to enhance the level
of the managerial efficiency, skill and effectiveness in the organization. It is also requested
to order all the Cadre Controlling Authorities in Central Excise to complete
the Disciplinary/Vigilance proceedings in
time bound manner in accordance with various guidelines
issued by the Government of India.
Thanking you.
Yours faithfully,
Sd/-

Secretary General

i am appreciating your letter which will minimise the mental agony of the deprived officers because most of the officers under disciplinary action, as far as my concern, are innocent.The fate of Senior Inspectors, who are served for this department for more than three decades, who are in the verge of retirement have missed the opportunity of cadre restructing offer.
yours comradely,
