ORDER:
It has been brought to the notice of the Government by the Collector,
Nizamabad District that the disciplinary proceedings were initiated against Sri
Noor Mohammad, formerly Deputy Tahsildar (Enft), Varni and now retired
from service and Sri K. Looka, formerly Agriculture Extension Officer, Birkur,
Nizamabad on the allegation of misappropriation of 153.006 Metric Tons of
paddy stock worth of Rs.11,47,545/-. The Collector, Nizamabd District has
forwarded the common enquiry report to the Government for taking further
necessary action in terms of Rule-9 of Andhra Pradesh Revised Pension
Rules, 1980 as Sri Noor Mohammed, Deputy Tahsildar retired from service,
vide reference 4th read above.
2. Government have examined the enquiry report and observed that the
charge of misappropriation of paddy of 153.006 MTs worth of Rs.11,47,545/-
was proved during the enquiry and both the Accused Officers viz., Sri Noor
Mohammed, formerly Deputy Tahsildar (Enf), Varni & i/c Paddy Purchase
Centre, Birkur and now retired from service and the co-accused viz., Sri
K.Looka, formerly Agriculture Extension Officer, Birkur are equally
responsible for the misappropriation. Therefore, Government have taken a
provisional decision to impose the punishment of withholding of entire
pension and gratuity permanently against Sri Noor Mohammed, formerly
Deputy Tahsildar (Enf), Varni & i/c Paddy Purchase Centre, Birkur and now
retired from service besides recovering an amount of Rs.5,73,772.50 Ps.,
being the half of the misappropriated amount, from him under Revenue
Recovery Act.3. In the reference 5th read above while communicating the copy of
enquiry report, a show-cause notice was issued to the individual seeking his
explanation thereon within a period of (15) days from the date of receipt of
the order as required under Rule 20 of Andhra Pradesh Civil Services (CC&A)
Rules, 1991. In respect of another Accused Officer i.e. Sri Looka, while
furnishing a copy of the enquiry report together with relevant material to
Agriculture & Co-operation Department, being the administrative department
under which the Accused Officer is working, that department was requested
to take necessary further action against the Accused Officer vide reference
6th read above.
4. Though the show-cause notice was served on Sri Noor Mohammed,
Deputy Tahsildar (Retired) on 06.01.2012, neither he submitted his
explanation to the show-cause notice within the stipulated time nor sought
time for submission of explanation. Hence, Government have examined the
matter and construed that the Accused Officer has no explanation to offer
and decided to confirm the above provisional decision taken to impose the
punishment of withholding of entire pension and gratuity permanently
besides recovery of an amount of Rs.5,73,772.50 Ps., being half of the
misappropriated amount, under Revenue Recovery Act.
5. After careful examination of the matter and in consultation with the
Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission, Government hereby impose the
punishment of withholding of entire pension and gratuity permanently
against Sri Noor Mohammed, formerly Deputy Tahsildar (Enft.), Varni,
Nizamabad District and now retired from service besides recovery of an
amount of Rs.5,73,772.50 Ps., being half of the misappropriated amount,
from him under Revenue Recovery Act. A copy of the letter of Andhra
Pradesh Public Service Commission conveying its concurrence is herewith
furnished as required Under Rule 23 of Andhra Pradesh Civil Service (CCA)
Rules, 1981.
5. The Special Chief Secretary and Chief Commissioner of Land
Administration, A.P., Hyderabad / Collector, Nizamabad District shall take
necessary further action in the matter accordingly.
