Procgs.Roc.No.1276/2005/M2,- Whereas, Sri.P.Narapa Reddy, TPS

while working at Kavali Municipality is in the habit of applying leave frequently.

While applying for leave frequently, the Charged Officer has applied for leave

from 17-02-2007. The Charged Officer, vide his leave application Dated :

25-2-2007 has requested the Commissioner, Kavali Municipality to grant leave up

to 2-3-2007 on medical grounds. Subsequently, he sent a telegram requesting

the Commissioner to extend his leave up to 13-3-2007 and sent another telegram

with a request to extend his leave up to 19-3-2007. After that, he again

requested for extension of his leave up to 31-3-2007 through telegram. Further,

vide his leave application dated 31-3-2007, he has again requested the

Commissioner, to extend his leave up to 22-4-2007 on medical grounds. In

yet another leave application Dated : 22-4-2007, the Charged Officer again

requested to expend up to 31-5-2007 and after that without applying for any

leave and without obtaining proper permission from the competent authority,

the Charged Officer is continuously absconding from duties w.e.f. 01-06-2007

to till date.

Due to continuous absence of the charged officer, whose duty is to look after

the Town Planning works in Kavali Municipality, a number of unauthorized

constructions are cropping up in Kavali town. Further, the Kavali Municipality is

also facing problem in collecting encroachment fees, advertisement taxes etc.

Being the field staff, it is the prime responsibility of the charged officer

to apply for leave and obtain prior permission from the competent authority

before abstaining from duties keeping in view of the above facts. But, the

charged officer has neither applied for the leave w.e.f. 1-6-2007 nor obtained

any prior permission from the competent authority and he is continuously

absconding from duties w.e.f. 1-6-2007 causing a lot of administrative inconvenient

to the Municipality in dealing with building permissions, encroachments

and unlawful constructions etc. in Kavali Town.

ANDHRA PRADESH GAZETTE, April 25, 2018

The above unauthorized absence of the Charged Officer is clear evidence

that he did not care to follow the minimum requirement expected from a

Government Servant. In spite of being continually abstaining from duties, he

did not care to submit at least leave application and obtain prior permission

from the competent authority. This shows his scant respect to the rules, procedures

and office and it is clear that he failed to maintain absolute integrity expected from

a Government Servant and also unbecoming of public servant as prescribed in

Rule 3 of the APCS Conduct Rules, 1964. It is clearly evident that the charged

officer has violated rule-3 of APCS conduct Rules, 1964 and hence disciplinary

action is inevitable.

And whereas , under Rule 20 of APCS (CCA) Rules, 1991, disciplinary

action has been initiated against Sri.P.Narapa Reddy, TPS vide charge

memo 4th cited for absconding from official duties at Kavali. After following the

due procedure the inquiry report has been sent for communication of the

Charged Officer vide t/o. Memo. Cited 12^th by RPAD through the Commissioner

Kavali Municipality and residential address of the charged, under the provision

of Rule 21 sub-Rule (2) of APCS (CCA) Rules. 1991, giving him an opportunity

to make representation, if any on the inquiry report. But there is no response

from the charged officer till date.

And whereas, the disciplinary authority, under sub-rule (2) of Rule,

20 of the A.P. Civil Services (CCA) Rules, 1991, has posted the matter for

inquiry by appointing Smt. V. Suseela Devi, GHMC, Hyderabad as the

Inquiring Authority vide proceedings read (5) above to inquire into the charges

framed against Sri. P. Narapa Reddy, TPS.

And whereas, the Inquiring Authority has submitted inquiry report vide

reference read (11) above, and the Inquiring Authority has held all the charges

as proved against the charged officer against Sri.P.Narapa Reddy, TPS as given

under :

Charge No. l

And whereas, under the provisions of Rule 21 of APCS (CCA) Rules, 1991,

the Inquiry Report was sent for communication of the charged officer vide this

office memo read (12) above, giving him an opportunity to make his representation

on the Inquiry Report.

And whereas, a Notice in this regard is also sent for publishing the same

in the local edition of two daily Telugu News Papers, and one English News

Paper vide t/o Ir. cited (13).

ANDHRA PRADESH GAZETTE, April 25, 2018

And whereas, the matter has been examined by the disciplinary authority and

a reminder show-cause Notice issued vide memo read (15) above, and the

same was sent to the Commissioner, Printing Stationary & Stores Purchase,

Vijayawada along with the Inquiry report for publishing the same in

A.P. Gazette.

And whereas, the Government in G.O.Ms.No.260, GA (Ser.C) Dept.,

Dated : 4-9-2003 read (3) above, have issued orders, directing all the Heads

of Departments that “in all cases of unauthorized absence to duty for a

continuous period exceeding ‘One Year’, the penalty of removal from

service shall be imposed on the Government Employees, after duly

following the procedure laid down in the APCS (CCA) Rules, 1991" and

to follow the above orders scrupulously.

And whereas, since the absconding of official duties by the charged officer

without proper leave or permission from the competent authority, which has exceeded

a period of more than one year attracts the instructions of the Government in

G.O. read (3) above.

And whereas, the disciplinary authority after careful examination of the

case in totality with reference to the Articles of Charges issued, written statement

of defense of the charged officer, findings of the Inquiring Authority in his report

and the written representation of charged officer is of the opinion that the

charged officer has willfully absconded from official duties without proper

leave or permission from the competent authority continuously for a period

more than one (1) year which has further exceeded, causing much administrative

inconvenience to the Department as well Government and the same has established

in the inquiry. The department has made all out efforts as per the provisions

available in APCS (CCA) Rules, 1991, but the individual never turned up to join

official duties, in spite of several directions, failed to give correct residential

address and also did not turn up before the Medical Board. The Inquiry Report

also clearly proved all the charges. It is therefore considered that his further

continuance in Public Service is not desirable and thus has decided to

remove said Sri P. Narapa Reddy, TPS from Service under clause (ix)

of Andhra Pradesh Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal)

Rules, 1991 with immediate effect, in the light of the orders of the Government

in G.O. read (3) above.
