PART II - MISCELLANEOUS NOTIFICATIOSN OF INTEREST TO THE PUBLIC

--x--

NOTIFICATIONS BY HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS Etc.,

Rc.No.28/A3/Comdt.Hqrs/APSPF/TPT/2017-18, O.O.No.481/2018,- In the

references first to third cited, the Asst. Commandant, APSPF, UCIL, Thummalapalle

submitted absence reports against Sri M. Anand Suresh, HC-1187 of APSPF,

UCIL Thummalapalle, Sub-Unit: Airport Kadapa stating that, the said Head Constable

was passported to avail (30) days Medical leave w.e.f. 03.03.2017 FN to

01.04.2017 AN. Instead of reporting back for duties from said leave, he became

absent to his duties w.e.f. 01.04.2017 AN unauthorizedly without obtaining any

leave or intimation to his superiors.

Vide reference fourth cited, an Article of Charge was framed against

Sri M. Anand Suresh, HC-1187 for absenting the duties un-authorizedly w.e.f.

01.04.2017 AN and explanation called for.

Vide reference fifth cited, the Charged Officer Sri M. Anand Suresh,

HC-1187 acknowledged the Memorandum of Charge which was sent to his native

address by Registered Post. However, the Charged Officer has failed to submit

written explanation to the Memorandum of Charge within stipulated period. Therefore,

the disciplinary authority decided to conduct Oral Enquiry in accordance with

the rules.

Vide reference sixth cited, an Oral Enquiry was ordered duly appointing

Sri D. Hussenaiah, Inspector, APSPF, RTPP Kalamalla as Inquiring Authority to

inquire into the charge framed against the Charged Officer Sri M. Anand Suresh,

HC-1187.

Vide reference seventh cited, the Inquiring Authority has conducted an

Ex-parte enquiry under Rule 20 (6) of APCS (CC&A) Rules, 1991 as the Charged

Officer’s whereabouts were not known and submitted the enquiry report duly

“Proving” the Article of Charge framed against the Charged Officer Sri M. Anand

Suresh, HC-1187.

Vide reference eighth cited, a Show Cause Notice was issued to the Charged

Officer inviting further explanation if any, on the enquiry report. Accordingly,

a copy of the Show Cause Notice along with enquiry report was sent to the native

address of the Charged Officer by Registered post which was returned vide

reference ninth cited.

Vide reference tenth cited, the Commissioner, Printing Stationery and

Stores Purchase, Vijayawada was requested to publish the Show Cause Notice in

the A.P. Gazette. Accordingly, the Show Cause Notice was published in the

A.P. Gazette vide reference eleventh cited.

Having gone through the entire PR file, I agree with the findings and opinion

of the Enquiry Officer, who proved the Article of Charge. I am of the considered

opinion that the Charged Officer is a willful absentee for a prolonged period of

exceeding one year. Further non acceptance of Show Cause Notice amounts

to willful rejection. Therefore, the Show Cause Notice has been published in

the A.P. Gazette.

ANDHRA PRADESH GAZETTE, May 15, 2015

Absenting for the duties by the charged officer without any intimation for

prolonged period will have adverse impact on operational duties and the

personnel are required to be put on extra duties in place of habitual absentees

and thus it amounts to gross misconduct.

The Government vide G.O. Ms. No 260, Genl. Admn. (Ser. C) Dept., dated:

04.09.2003 directed that “in all cases of unauthorised absence to duty for a

continuous period exceeding ‘one year’, the penalty of removal from service

shall be imposed on the Government employee, after duly following the procedure

laid in the Andhra Pradesh Civil Services (CC&A) Rules, 1991".

Therefore, I am constrained to award the Charged Officer with a penalty of

“Removal from Service” with immediate effect under Rule-9(ix) of APCS

(CC&A) Rules, 1991.

The entire unauthorized absence period of (391) days w.e.f.

01.04.2017 AN to 27.04.2018 (date of issue of this order) is treated as

“Not on duty’.

Acknowledge the receipt of the proceedings.

A.P. Special Protection Force,

Tirupati.
