Government Decision

 The question of laying down appropriate rules to govern the Medical Examination of candidates recruited to Government service was considered by Government. After taking into account all the relevant aspects of the question, the following rules have been laid down in this behalf: 

1. Normally a candidate should be medically examined before his first appointment. In certain cases, however, when a candidate is required to join immediately for work or for training, the appointment may be made without first obtaining the medical certificate, though the appointment should be subject to the officer being declared medically fit. In all such cases, if an officer is declared unfit on medical examination and he prefers an appeal he should be retained in service till the case is finally decided. 

2. Similarly, in the case of a Government servant whose appointment is made on a temporary basis on the strength of a medical certificate issued by a lower authority or without such a certificate, it may be necessary to get a certificate of fitness from the appropriate medical authority. If the appropriate medical authority finds that the person is not fit for retention in service at all and if an appeal for a second medical examination from the Government servant concerned is accepted the person concerned should be allowed to continue in service till the verdict of appropriate medical authority is known. In case it is decided not to accede to the  request for further medical examination, the services of the officer should be terminated forthwith. 

3. The intimation regarding unfitness of a candidate should immediately on receipt be communicated to the person concerned with a note that appeal, if any, must be made by the candidate/ Government servant concerned within one month of the communication of the findings of the Medical Officer and that, if any, Medical certificate is produced as piece of evidence about the possibility of an error of judgement in the decision of the Medical Officer who examined him, in the first instance, the certificate must contain a note by the Medical Officer concerned to the effect that it has been given in full knowledge of the fact that the candidate has already been rejected as unfit for service by a Medical Officer. 

4. In case no appeal (with requisite evidence in support of his case) is preferred by the candidate/ Government servant within one month of the date of communication to him of the findings of the Medical Officer, his services should be terminated forthwith on the expiry of the period of one month and ordinarily no appeal should be allowed after the expiry of that period. 

5. In case where a Government servant or a candidate for Government service is declared unfit for retention in Government service or appointment in the Government service by a Medical Officer, the grounds for rejection may be communicated to him in broad terms without giving minute details regarding the defects pointed out by the Medical Officer. Cases where the grounds of rejection have not been clearly stated by the Medical Officer, in his report, may be referred to the Government for advice. 

6. For the first Medical Examination of the candidate/Government servant as well as the subsequent examinations found necessary by the 

7.  appointing authority on account of an appeal, the appointing authority shall give suitable requisition to the Medical Officer concerned. 

8. No appeal shall lie against the adverse findings of a Medical Officer to whom the case is referred on appeal.  

Note 1.-

Certificate of physical fitness for entry into Government service should always be from Medical Practitioners of Modern Medicine or from Doctors of Indigenous Medicine. 

Note 2.-

The Medical Authority who is to issue a medical certificate a second time on appeal shall be of a higher status than the other who issued the first medical certificate.

Government Decision No. 1 

Questions have been raised regarding the authority competent to accept a resignation, the circumstances under which resignation should be accepted, the date when a resignation becomes effective, and the authority competent to permit a Government servant to withdraw a resignation which he has already tendered. The following instructions will be followed : 

(a)Authority competent to accept resignation.-The appointing authority in respect of the service or post in question is the authority competent to accept the resignation of the Government servant. 

🆀 Who is competent to accept resignation letter of a Government Employee  A:-Appointing authority  B:-Government  C:-Head of Department D:-Head of Office  Correct Answer:- Option-A:-Appointing authority  🆀 The authority competent to accept resignation of a Government servant is A:-Chief Secretary to Government B:-Head of Department C:-Head of Officer D:-Appointing authority of the post Correct Answer:- D:-Appointing authority of the post

(b)Circumstances under which resignation should be accepted.-It is not in the interest of Government to retain an unwilling officer in service. The general rule, therefore, is that resignation from service should be accepted after settling the liabilities outstanding against the Government servant, except in the circumstances indicated below:-

(i) Where the officer concerned is engaged on work of importance and it would take time to make alternative arrangements for filling the post, the resignation should not be accepted straight away, but only, when alternative arrangements for filling the post have been made. 

(ii)Where a Government servant who is under suspension submits a resignation, the competent authority should examine with reference to the merits of the disciplinary case pending against the Government servant whether it would be in the public interest to accept the under suspension. Exceptions to this rule would be where the alleged offences do not involve moral turpitude or where the quantum of evidence against the accused officer is not strong enough to justify the assumption that if the departmental proceedings were continued, the officer would be removed or dismissed from service or where the departmental proceedings are likely to be so protracted that it would be cheaper to the Public Exchequer to accept the resignation. 

(c)Date when a resignation becomes effective.—The competent authority should decide the date with effect from which the resignation should become effective. In cases covered by (b) (i) above the date should be that with effect from which alternative arrangements can be made for filling the post. Where an officer is on leave, the competent authority should decide whether he will accept the resignation with immediate effect or with effect from the date following the termination of the leave. There is also no objection to a Government servant on leave being permitted to resign his post without rejoining duty after leave, provided the appointing authority so decides with due regard to the administrative convenience of the department. Where a period of notice is prescribed which a Government servant should give when he wishes to resign from service the competent authority may decide to count the period of leave towards the notice period. In other cases also it is open to the competent authority to decide whether the resignation should become effective immediately or with effect from some prospective date. In the latter case, the date should be specified. 

(d) Authority competent to permit withdrawal of resignation.- A resignation becomes effective when it is accepted and the officer is relieved of his duties. Where a resignation has not become effective and the officer wishes to withdraw it, it is open to the authority which accepted the resignation either to permit the officer to withdraw the resignation or to refuse the request for such withdrawal. Where, however, a resignation has become effective, the officer is no longer in Government service and acceptance of the request for withdrawal of resignation would amount to re-employing him in service after condoning the period of break.

 Concurrence of ‘Finance’, and the Public Service Commission, wherever necessary, should be obtained before a request for withdrawal of resignation which has already become effective, is accepted. 

🆀Request for withdrawing resignation after it has become effective was accepted and the officer admitted to duty. The past service will count  for (A) Pay fixation only (B) Leave only (C) For all service benefits. (D) The purpose of pension if otherwise admissible Correct Answer- Option: (D) The purpose of pension if otherwise admissible

Government Decision No.2 
Condonation of the period of break and revival of past service in such cases will be for the purpose of pension only, if it is otherwise admissible. The Government servant’s earlier service will not count for fixation of pay, increment or leave. His pay will be fixed at the minimum of the scale of pay of the post to which he is re-employed after resignation and the period of break will be treated as a period spent out of employment. 

🆀 Request for withdrawing resignation after it has become effective was accepted and the officer admitted to duty. The past service will count for (A) Pay fixation only (B) Leave only (C) For all service benefits. (D) The purpose of pension if otherwise admissible Correct Answer- Option: (D) The purpose of pension if otherwise admissible

ABSENCE FROM DUTY

24. Unless the Government in view of the special circumstances of the case, otherwise determine, after five years’ continuous absence from duty, an officer shall be removed from service after following the procedure laid down in the Kerala Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1960, * except in cases covered by Rule 24A.

 This amendment shall be deemed to have come into force with effect from 16th December, 1983. 

🆀 An officer who absents himself for 5 years continuously shall be removed from service under which rule? A:-KS and SST B:-KSR Vol I C:-KCS Rules D:-KCS (CC & A) Rules Correct Answer:- D:-KCS (CC & A) Rules

24A. Notwithstanding anything contained in these rules, if an officer who availed himself of leave without allowances to take up employment abroad or within the country **[or for joining spouse] for a total period of  twenty years, whether continuously or in broken periods, does not return to duty immediately on the expiry of the leave, his service shall be terminated after following the procedure laid down in the Kerala Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1960. 

Note.- This rule shall have effect from the 16th day of December, 1983 and shall apply to all cases of grant of leave without allowances on or after that date, for taking up employment abroad or within the country, in extension of the leave already granted or otherwise, and such leave granted before that date shall be reckoned for applying the twenty years limit.
