No. 36011/1/2012-Estt. (Res.) dated 10-1-2013
Office Memorandum
Sub: Action against Government servants who get appointment
on the basis of false SC/St/OBC certificates.
The undersigned is directed to invite reference to this
Department’s OM No. 11012/7/91-Estt(A) dated 19-5-1993 which provides as
under:-
“Wherever
it is found that a Government servant, who was not qualified or eligible in
terms of the recruitment, rules etc., for initial recruitment in service or had
furnished false information or produced a false certificate in order to secure
appointment, he should not be retained in service. If, he is probationer or a
temporary Government servant, he should be discharged or his services should be
terminated. If he has become a permanent Government servant, an inquiry as
prescribed in Rule 14 off CCS(CCA) Rules, 1965 may be held and if the charges
are proved, the Government servant should be removed or dismissed from service.
In no circumstances should any penalty be imposed.”
2. The position
was reiterated vice this Department’s OM No. 42011/22/2006-Estt.(Res.) dated
the 29th March, 2007 that the cases other than those protected by
the specific order of the Apex Court should be dealt with in accordance with
the instructions contained in the aforesaid O.M. However, it has been observed
that disciplinary proceedings in the cases involving appointments on the basis
of false /fake caste certificates take considerable time and the persons who
have secured employment on the basis of false caste certificates enjoy the
benefits of Government service whereas such Government servants should be remove/dismissed
from the service at the earliest.
3. It is
requested that disciplinary inquiries involving the matter of securing jobs on
the basis of false/fake certificates should be completed in a time bound manner
and unscrupulous persons who have got appointment on the basis of fake/false
caste certificates should not be retained in service and should be dismissed/
removed thenceforth.
4. Contents of
this OM may be brought to the notice of all concerned.
