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

application and in case of rejection of application, shall record the reasons in writing and

intimate to the applicant.

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.
