Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the implications of a 'censure' penalty imposed on a Brkgb officer following an incident in a departmental meeting. A censure is a formal punishment recorded confidentially, affecting promotion prospects for at least six months. While considered a minor punishment, it can hinder suitability for higher posts.

An order of “Censure” is a formal and public act intended to convey that the person concerned has been guilty of some blame worthy act or omission for which it has been found necessary to award him a formal punishment, and nothing can amount to a “censure” unless it is intended to be such a formal punishment and imposed for “good and sufficient reason” after following the prescribed procedure. A record of the punishment so imposed is kept on the officer’s confidential roll and the fact that he has been ‘censured’ will have its bearing on the assessment of his merit or suitability for promotion to higher posts.
