3. Notification of services, Designated Public Servant, Appellate Authority, and
Reviewing Authority and Stipulated Time Limits.- The State Government may, from
time to time, notify the services including provisions for fast track service delivery
(“Tatkal Sewa”), Designated Public Servants, Appellate Authorities, Reviewing
Authorities Stipulated Time Limits, and the area of the State to which this Act shall
apply.
4. Right to obtain service within stipulated time limit.- The designated public
servant shall provide the service notified, under Section-3 to the person eligible to obtain
the service, within the stipulated time limit.
5. Providing services in stipulated time limit. - (1) Any application being filed
for obtaining services notified under the Act will be treated as application under the Act.
Stipulated Time Limit, if not explained otherwise in the notification under sec.-3 shall
start from the date when required application for notified service is submitted to the
Designated Public Servant or to a person subordinate to him/her authorized to receive the
application. Such application shall be duly acknowledged.
(2)
The Designated Public Servant on receipt of an application under sub-
section (1) shall within the Stipulated Time Limit provide service or reject the

6. Appeal. - (1) Any person, whose application is rejected under sub-section (2)
of section-5 or who is not provided the service within the stipulated time limit, may file
an appeal to the Appellate Authority within thirty days from the date of rejection of
application or the expiry of the stipulated time limit. Filing of such appeal shall be duly
acknowledged by the Appellate Authority by providing the Appellant signed receipt of
the same:
Provided that the Appellate Authority may admit the appeal after the expiry of
the period of thirty days if he/she is satisfied that the appellant was prevented by
sufficient cause from filing the appeal in time:
Provided further that in case of delay beyond the time limit stipulated by
notification under section-3 the applicant may file an appeal against delay as per the
provisions under this Act:
Provided further also that, in case of rejection of an application for a service for
which any other law for the time being in force prescribes remedy, the applicant shall
7
बहार गजट (असाधारण), 2 मई 2011
follow the process under such law for the time being in force.
(2) (a) The Appellate Authority may order the Designated Public Servant to
provide the service within the specified period or may reject the appeal.
(b) Along with the order to provide service, the Appellate Authority may
impose penalty according to the provisions of Section-7 of this Act.
(3) The Designated Public Servant or the Applicant aggrieved by any order of the
Appellate Authority, may make a second appeal within 60 (sixty) days from the date of
that order to the Reviewing Authority, who shall dispose the appeal according to the
prescribed procedure:
Provided that the Reviewing Authority may entertain the second appeal after the
expiry of 60 (sixty) days, if he/she is satisfied that the appellant was prevented by
sufficient cause from filing the appeal in time.
(4) If the designated public servant does not comply with provisions of the order
for providing the service under sub- section (2) of Section-6, then the applicant
aggrieved from such non-compliance may submit an application directly to the
Reviewing Authority. This application shall be disposed of in the manner prescribed for
second appeal.
(5) The Appellate Authority and Reviewing Authority shall while deciding an
appeal under this section, have the same powers as are vested in civil court while trying a
suit under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (5 of 1908) in respect of the following
matters, namely :-
(a)
requiring the production and inspection of documents;
(b)
issuing summons for hearing to the designated public servant and
appellant; and
(c)
any other matter which may be prescribed.
(6) In any appeal proceedings, the onus to prove that a delay or denial of service
was justified shall be on the Designated Public Servant or the Appellate Authority, as the
case may be, who delayed or denied the service.
7. Penalty.- (l)(a) Where the Appellate Authority is of the opinion that the
Designated Public Servant has failed to provide service without sufficient and reasonable
cause, then he/she may impose a lump sum penalty at the rate specified from time to time
as prescribed in the rules framed under this Act from time to time.
(b) Where the Appellate Authority is of the opinion that the Designated Public
8
बहार गजट (असाधारण), 2 मई2011
Servant has caused delay in providing the service, then he/she may impose a penalty at
the rate specified from time to time and as prescribed in the rules framed under this Act
from time to time for such delay on the Designated Public Servant:
Provided that the Designated Public Servant shall be given a reasonable
opportunity of being heard before any penalty is imposed on him/her.
(2) Where the Reviewing Authority is of the opinion that the Appellate Authority
has failed to decide the appeal within the stipulated time limit without any sufficient and
reasonable cause, then he/she may impose a penalty on Appellate Authority at the rate
specified from time to time and as prescribed in the rules framed under this Act:
Provided that the Appellate Authority shall be given a reasonable opportunity of
being heard before any penalty is imposed on him/her.
(3) The penalty as imposed under the above provisions of the Act shall be
charged from the Designated Public Servant, Appellate Authority and concerned Sub-
ordinate staff as the case may be, and in the proportion to be decided by the Appellate or
Reviewing Authority, as the case may be, and as prescribed in the Rules framed under
this Act from time to time.
(4) The penalty so imposed will be in addition to that prescribed in any other Act,
rules, regulations and notifications already existing.
8. Non-Compliance Amounting to Misconduct.- Non-compliance of the orders of
the Appellate Authority, unless pending in second appeal or modified by the Reviewing
Authority, or of the orders of the Reviewing Authority shall amount to misconduct and
makes the concerned person liable for actions under related provisions, including those
that have been laid down for disciplinary action.
9. Bar of Jurisdiction of Courts.- No Civil Court shall entertain any suit,
application or other proceeding in respect of any order made under this Act and no such
order shall be called in question otherwise than by way of an appeal as specified under
this Act.
10. Power of the State Government to send the applications to Appellate
Authority directly.- Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Act, the State
Government, if it gets an application alleging non-compliance of the provisions, may
send the same directly to the Appellate Authority for taking further actions as per the
Act.
