Termination of permanent government servant without enquiry

Respected sir,

One person was appointed as teacher in a deficit Middle School and subsequently, the school was provincialised. Later, this person wa confirmed in service. However, the person(teacher) was found to have acquired requisite educational qualification and the certificate submitted by him earlier were found to be fake.Consequently, the Director of School Education, having seen the fact, terminated the service of this teacher without initiating any enquiry. 

In this case, it is clear that the Govt.committed errant act which is not tenable in law that no reasonable opportunity of being heard was given to the delinquent official.Moreover, the term 'termination' is restricted for use in case of temporary government seervant wheras the teacher had already been confirmed in service.

Aggrived by the matter, the ex-teacher submitted request for review under Rule 29(A) of CCS/CCA Rules to the Governor and prays for 1) his educational deficiency may be condoned as was done by the Govt.in the past and 2) he may be granted compassionate allowance as permissible under rule 41 of the  CCS(Pension) Rules, 1972 as if he was removed from service under CCS(CCA) Rules, 1965.

What will be the right course of action to be taken from the Government side?

from this query, it appears that the person is using rule 29.  You have not stated whether there was any appeal under ruler 27.

 

you have also not stated whether he is challnaging dismissal on procedure or is simply asking for condonation of fraud (which doe snot happen in Govt)

read rule 41 of pension rules

 

1.    Compassionate allowance

(1)    A Government servant who is dismissed or removed from service shall forfeit his pension and gratuity :

    Provided that the authority competent to dismiss or remove him from service may, if the case is deserving of special consideration, sanction a compassionate allowance not exceeding two - thirds of pension or gratuity or both which would have been admissible to him if he had retired on 1[compensation pension].

(2)    A compassionate allowance sanctioned under the proviso to sub-rule (1) shall not be less than the amount of 2[Rupees three hundred and seventy-five] per mensem.

Footnote : 1. Substituted by G.I., M.F., Notification No. Q-18011/2/75-E. V (A), dated the 10th April, 1975.
                2. Substituted by G.I., Dept. of P. & P.W., Notification No. 2/18/87-P. & P.W. (PIC), dated the 20th July, 1988. Published as S.O. No. 2388 in the Gazette of India, dated the 6th August, 1988. Takes effect from 1st January, 1986.

 

 

this rule no where provides for compasssionate employmnet which is admissible in case of dependetns of Govt servant died of invalidated out of service on medical ground.
