Officer Commanding 'SDRF' Coy. of this unit has submitted that the article of charge has been served to Sri T.Ganeswara Rao, F/O the C.O on 25.10.2017 through PC 1274 Sri N.Usha Kiran, because Sri T.Ganeswara Rao, F/O the C.O has submitted his written statement that he didn't know where about of his Un-married Son since few days. Subsequently, the article of charge against the above Charged officer has been sent to his home address but, the undelivered postal cover was returned by the postal authority.

As such, an exparte O.E was ordered by appointing Sri B. Satyanarayana, R.I. Accordingly, the said Inquiry Authority has conducted regular O.E against the above C.O by examining 02 PWs and submitted his findings in the shape of Minutes duly holding the charges leveled against him as "PROVED" on Exparte basing on the merits of the Prosecution witnesses as the delinquent PC did not attend O.E and vide reference 4th cited.

ANDHRA PRADESH GAZETTE, February 20, 2019 3

I have gone through the entire P.R File minutes of the Inquiry officer and explanation of the charged officer. He was pass ported to perform L&O B.B. duties at Kakinada on 31.08.2017 at 1800 hrs. but, he did not proceed for duties and found absent from duties on 31.08.2017and remained absent for 361 days which is highly irregular and not tolerable in the disciplined force. Being Police constable working in the disciplined force, he is supposed to perform duties allotted to him. But did not turned up for important L&O, B.B. Duties. Further, he did not attend to the Oral Enquiry on the dates fixed by the Inquiry officer and his whereabouts also not known which shows that he did not bother about his legitimate duties. His parents given a statement that his whereabouts not known from 6 months in their village. His explanation is not convincing. If he has any genuine reason, he would have to appear before the unit officer or nearest police station for leave and he should have to attend the O.E to prove his innocence. But, he grossly failed to do so and remained absent for 361 days, the charges against him are proved. Hence, I deemed it fit to award him with the punishment of 'REMOVAL FROM SERVICE' with immediate effect i.e, from the date of issue of this orders.

The desertion period of 361days from 31.08.2017AN to 28.08.2018 FN.

is treated as 'NOT ON DUTY'.

Certified that the procedure laid down in APCS (CC&A) Rules 1991, is followed correctly while disposing the O.E P.R.
