Public Servants.

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 05 July 2011 This query is : Resolved 
Public Servants (Inquiries) Act 1850 is still applicable. My friend he is a lawyer in Gujarat told that this ( Public Servants (Inquiries) Act 1850) override some act but which acts he doesn't known as he also has heard for someone else can I get the info that where it is repealed or still in force. & which Act are overridden by this act.

Section 1, which normally speaks about applicability, of the Public Servants Inquiries Act 1850, itself, states:

"1. Repeal of Acts
Repealed by the Repealing Act, 1870 (14 of 1870), sec. 1 and Sch., Part II."

But this Repealing Act, 1870 (14 of 1870)is not traceable.

However, it may be pointed out that after adoption of the Constitution of india, the Rules for Public Servants Discipline and Appeal Rules, as well as the Prevention of Corruption Act , 1988, were framed to be applicable to the public servants for inquiries and prosecution, etc.
