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 of 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 vide 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 removed / 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.
