CCS (CCA) RULES - Review of suspension - Amendment to the provisions of rule 10

CENTRAL CIVIL SERVICES (CCA) RULES, 1965

CCS (CCA) RULES - Review of suspension - Amendment to the provisions of rule 10

(15C) Review of suspension - Amendment to the provisions of rule 10 -

The provisions of rule 10 of the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965 regarding deemed suspension have since been reviewed by this Department.

2. The provisions in Rule 10 of CCS (CCA) Rules have been modified and amendment to the same have been notified in Notification No. GSR 105 dated 6.06.2007 published in the Gazette of India dated 16.06.2007.

3. As per the original provisions of rule 10 of the CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965, the provision for review within ninety days was applicable to all types of suspensions. However, in cases of continued detention, the review becomes a mere formality with no consequences as a Government servant in such a situation has to continue to be under deemed suspension. It has, therefore, been decided that a review of suspension shall not be necessary in such cases. Accordingly, a proviso has now been added to sub-rule(7) of the said rule 10 as follows:

“provided that no such review of suspension shall be necessary in the case of deemed suspension under sub-rule(2), if the Government servant continues to be under detention at the time of completion of ninety days of suspension and the ninety days period for review in such cases will count from the date the Government servant detained in custody is released from detention or the date on which the fact of his release from detention is intimated to his appointing authority, whichever is later.”

4. In deemed suspensions under sub-rule (2), the date of order of suspension may be much later than the deemed date of suspension. With a view to making these provisions explicit, sub-rule (6) of the aforesaid rule 10 has now been amended to substitute the words “ninety days from the date of order of suspension” occurring therein with “ninety days from the effective date of suspension”. Consequent upon this amendment, it would henceforth be necessary to specifically indicate in the orders of suspension the effective date of suspension.

5. Sub-rule (7) of the aforesaid rule 10 stipulates says that “Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-rule (5)(a), an order of suspension made or deemed to have been made under sub-rule (1) or (2) of this rule shall not be valid after a period of ninety days unless it is extended after review, for a further period before the expiry of ninety days.” Sub-rule (5)(a) of the aforesaid rule 10 has, therefore, now been amended to read as follows :-

“subject to the provisions contained in sub-rule (7), an order of suspension made or deemed to have been made under this rule shall continue to remain in force until it is modified or revoked by the authority competent to do so.”

Consequently, the words “Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-rule (5)(a)” stated in sub-rule(7) of Rule 10 have become redundant and have, therefore, been deleted.

6. In so far as persons serving in the Indian Audit and Accounts Department are concerned, these amendments have been made in consultation with the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
