What are the purposes for which the provisions of CCA Rules are to be invoked?

3. What are the purposes for which the provisions of CCA Rules are to be invoked? There appears to be a misconception that the CCA Rules provide only the mechanism for imposition of penalties. It needs to be appreciated that the rules lays down the Classification of posts in Part II which contains Rules 4 to 7. Besides, the provisions relating to Appeals in Part VII comprising Rules 22 to 28 is also of a general nature because the rules provide for appeals in respect of orders relating to administrative matter. The list of orders against which appeal lies contained in Rule 23 makes this point clear. Notwithstanding the above stated special circumstances, CCA Rules basically form part of the reward and punishment sub-system under Personnel Management system of organisation. It provides a mechanism for dealing with erring employees whose behavior does not conform to the prescribed organizational norms – either by express provision or by necessary implications. The rules cover the following aspects: (a) What penalties can be imposed on an erring employee? (Rule 11) (b) Who imposes these penalties? (Rule 12 and 13 ) (c) What is the procedure to be followed for imposing these penalties? (Rule 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, etc.) 27 (d) What remedies are available to the employee after a penalty has been imposed? (Rule 22 to 29A) (e) Issues which are incidental to the above? (Rule 10 [i.e suspension which is a step in aid for conducting inquiry], 31 to 35, etc.)
