Suspension should be held wholly unjustified when the proceedings end with minor penalty.
(2) Suspension should be held wholly unjustified when the proceedings end with minor penalty. - The Staff Side of the Committee of the National Council set up to review the CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965, had suggested that in cases where a Government servant, against whom an inquiry has been held for the imposition of a major penalty, is finally awarded only a minor penalty, the suspension should considered unjustified & full Pay & Allowances paid for suspension period. Government have accepted this suggestion of the Staff Side. Accordingly, where departmental proceedings against a suspended employee for the imposition of a major penalty finally end with the imposition of minor penalty, the suspension can be said to be wholly unjustified in terms of FR 54-B and the employee concerned should, therefore, be paid full pay and allowances for the period of suspension by passing a suitable order under FR 54-B. 2. These orders will become effective from 3rd December, 1985. Past cases already decided need not be reopened. [G.I., Dept. of Per. & Trg., O.M. No. 11012/15/85-Estt. (A), dated the 3rd December, 1985.] [For regularization of periods of suspension Fundamental Rules 54,54-A, 54-B and Administrative Instructions thereunder-may be refer to]
