NEW DELHI: In a major move, the Centre has proposed to change rules to allow no review of suspension orders of IAS, IPS and IFS officers if they are convicted in a corruption and criminal case by courts.
The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has decided to amend the All India Services (discipline and appeal) Rules, 1969, applicable to Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS) and Indian Forest Service (IFS) officers, in this regard.
It has decided to include a clause in the existing rules to say “no review shall be conducted till the passing of the final order in the court case, if any, if a member of service is deemed to have been placed under suspension under Rule 3 of AIS (D&A) Rules, 1969 on conviction by a court of law in criminal and corruption charges”.
