The time limit is of paramount importance in deciding and finalising disciplinary proceedings against the corrupt officials and any delay at any of the stages right from framing charge sheets to enquiries to awarding punishments to preferring appeals . The reasons are – proving the finality of such actions as fast as possible, as a deterrent as also relieving the employee of a protracted suspense and dormant animation or from prolonging the agony of the charged officer in case one was falsely involved or was innocent but the process was such that a final decision within specific timeframe was not forthcoming.
The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) asking all the central Government agencies including Public Sector Banks, Insurance Companies etc to finalise disciplinary proceedings within a fixed time limit say within six months against those employees involved in corrupt practices, is the reiteration of an already existing procedure in the system in these organisations and the fresh guidelines is a reminder to adhere to the same more meticulously. When analysed closely, it is found that in many cases, the process gets really delayed due to certain avoidable reasons which need to be streamlined in order to lend credibility to weed out corruption and corrupt practices. Delays of any sort , more so when employees’ conduct and its implication on one’s fate is involved, must be avoided at all costs in the interests of the organisation as well as the employees concerned.
