Format of the order of suspension

8. Format of the order of suspension 8.1 A government servant can be placed under suspension only by a specific order in writing by the Competent Authority. A standard form in which the order should be made is given in part-IIviii . 8.2 In cases of deemed suspension under Rule 10(2), 10(3) or 10(4), suspension will take effect automatically even without a formal order of suspension. However, it is desirable for purposes of administrative record to make a formal order (Standard form in Part-II). Format may have to be modified to fully meet the requirements of the individual case. 8.3 In all the cases the standard form may not fully meet the requirements of the particular case and hence the language of the order may have to suitably modified or adopting them to suit the requirement of the individual cases. For example, if at the time the Government Servant is being placed under suspension, apart from a criminal offence which is under trial there is also certain other disciplinary case under contemplation, as well as criminal cases under investigation, which is also being taken into consideration for placing the Government Servant under suspension, the order of his suspension should indicate all the cases (criminal/departmental under investigation/trial/contemplation) on the basis of which it is considered necessary to place the Government servant under suspension so that in the event of the reinstatement, the outcome of all such cases can be taken into account, while regulating the period of suspension.ix 8.4 In case where the Government servant is under suspension(whether in connection with any disciplinary proceeding or otherwise) and any other case is initiated against him and the competent authority considers it necessary that the Government servant should remain under suspension in connection with that case also, the competent authority should pass fresh orders on the Government servant’s suspension with specific reference to all the cases against the Government servant so that in the event of reinstatement of the Government servant in one case the facts of other cases can also be taken into account while regulating the period of suspensionx . 8.5 Copy of the order should be endorsed to the CVC also in cases involving a vigilance angle in respect of employees in whose case the Commission’s advice is necessary.
