Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma has ordered strict disciplinary and punitive measures against a number of tainted police personnel and officials in a forceful campaign against corruption and administrative negligence.
Following an examination of numerous cases involving misconduct, corruption, and transgressions of service standards, the decisions were taken. A proposal by the Home Department to forcefully retire nine police inspectors whose service records were discovered to be compromised has been authorised by the Chief Minister. A high-level committee carefully examined these officers’ performance, integrity, and annual confidential reports (ACRs) in light of the numerous serious accusations against them before making a final judgment.
Serious errors in land allocation will also result in disciplinary action against a senior Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer. In accordance with Rule-8 of the All-India Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1969, the CM has authorised the action. Additionally, six state service officers have been sanctioned for prosecution on corruption charges, allowing the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) to move forward with legal action. Additionally, two personnel from the Rajasthan Administrative and Accounts Services have become the subject of thorough investigations sanctioned under Section 17-A of the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act, 2018.
On the basis of disciplinary considerations, the CM has also directed that 13 officers’ yearly raises be withheld under Rule-16. Pension-related measures were also implemented in situations involving retired cops: one officer who was found guilty of corruption would lose their whole pension, while five officers will have their pensions withheld. Additionally, the Chief Minister upheld the initial punitive decision by rejecting a review appeal submitted by an officer under CCA Rule 34. Two other officers received partial relief, while three cases had appeals under CCA Rule-23 approved. The state government’s resolve to maintain accountability and integrity in the legal and administrative institutions in Rajasthan is demonstrated by this strong and decisive administrative action wave.
