Antique white Bisque silver slate green cadet blue white azure Original MASTER CIRCULAR Master Circular No. 64 Suspension of Railway employees - Master Circular. At present provisions/instructions regarding suspension of railway employees are contained in Part II of the Railway Servants (Discipline & Appeal) Rules, 1968 and in a number of letters issued by Railway Board from time to time. It has bean decided to consolidate, important amongst them in one single Master Circular, for the purpose of facility and convenience, as enclosed herewith. While referring to this Circular, the original letter referred to herein should be read for a proper appreciation and in casa of doubt, the original circular should be relied upon as authority. Since effort has been to include only important instructions on suspension in this Master Circular, a number of circulars have not been taken into consideration while preparing this Master Circular. Instructions contained in circulars not included herein, should not be deemed to have been superseded simply because of their non-inclusion. SUSPENSION Suspension is an executive action whereby a Railway servant is temporarily kept out of duty, pending final action against him for criminal offences or acts of indiscipline, misconduct etc. Suspension, pending departmental enquiry, is a safeguard against the Government servant interfering with and hampering the preliminary investigation and, tampering with material evidence - oral and documentary. It is not a penalty under Railway Servants (Discipline and Appeal) Rules. I (A) Circumstances under which a railway servant may be placed under suspension - In terms of Rule 5 (1) of Railway Servants (Discipline & Appeal) Rules, a railway servant may be placed under suspension in the following circumstances: - a. Where a disciplinary proceeding against him is contemplated or is pending; or b. Where, in the opinion of the authority competent to place a railway servant under suspension, he has engaged himself in activities prejudicial to the interest of the security of the state; or c.

(These are only intended for guidance and should not be taken as mandatory). i.

Where the continuance in office is likely to seriously subvert discipline in the office in which the railway servant is working; iii. Where the continuance in office of the railway servant will be against the wider public interest (other than those covered by (i) & (ii), e.g. there is a public scandal and it is necessary to place the Government servant under suspension to demonstrate the policy of Government to deal strictly with officers involved in such scandals, particularly corruption). iv. Where allegations have been made against the railway servant and the preliminary enquiry has revealed that a case exists, prima facie, which would justify initiation of criminal departmental proceedings against him and where such proceedings are likely to end in his conviction and/or dismissal, removal or compulsory retirement from service. Note: (a) In the first three circumstances enumerated above, the disciplinary authority may exercise his discretion to place a railway servant under suspension even when the case is under investigation and before a pr
