JAMMU, Oct 6: The Government has issued fresh directives to all the Administrative Departments asking them not to entertain such claims which are time-barred and close all such old cases which cannot be resolved on account of inordinate delay.
It has been observed that in service matters, applications/claims are being presented by a Government servant to competent authorities for consideration after delay of a considerable period of time, the General Administration Department said, adding “such stale claims are not legally tenable as such are not required to be entertained by the concerned department”.
Pointing towards judgments of the Supreme Court, the GAD said, “whenever, in any matter connected with service rights or conditions, a Government servant wishes to press a claim or to seek redress of an alleged grievance, the same should be addressed to the competent authority within a stipulated period of six months from the date the alleged grievance has arisen or any other period specifically provided in any rule, regulation or law, whichever is later, after which the same shall be treated as time-barred”.
All the Administrative Departments have been directed not to entertain any such claims which are time-barred and close all such old cases which cannot be resolved on account of inordinate delay.
