APPENDIX III
RULES RELATING TO CHARGE OF OFFICE
(Referred to in Rule 23 of Part I)
PART I
Charge of Office
1. Unless for special recorded reasons (which must be of a public nature) the authority under whose orders the transfer takes place permits or requires it to be made in any particular case elsewhere, or otherwise, the charge of an office must be made over at its headquarters, both the relieving and the relieved officers being present.
2. The condition imposed by this rule that both the relieving and the relieved officers must be present is not enforced in the case of officers who are permitted to combine vacation or gazetted holidays with leave.
(a) When they are prefixed to leave the outgoing officer will report, before leaving headquarters, or if for urgent reasons the leave is granted during vacation, or holidays, as soon as it is granted that he makes over charge with effect from the end of the vacation or holidays. The relieving officer will then take over charge at the end of the vacation or holidays in the ordinary way.
(b) When they are affixed to leave the officer to be relieved will make over charge in the ordinary way before the vacation or holidays, the incoming officer on return at the end of the vacation or holidays, taking over charge with effect from the beginning of the vacation or holidays.
3. The headquarters of any other officer is either the station which has been declared to be his headquarters by the authority which appoints him, or, in the absence of such declaration, the station where the records of his office are kept.
PART II
Leaving Jurisdiction
1. No officer (other than a Police Officer acting within his legal powers) is entitled to pay or allowances for any time he may spend beyond the limits of his charge without proper authority.
2. Heads of Departments and Heads of Offices may authorise any officer or subordinate under their control to proceed on duty beyond the limits of his charge but within their own jurisdiction.
3. The sanction of Government is required for any officer proceeding beyond the limits of the State.
Ruling
attend a court outside the State. He should, however, inform his controlling officer before he leaves station.
