Q102 (CISF/2024) Polity & Governance › Governance, Policies & Social Justice

As per the CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965, which one among the following is not the competent authority to place a government servant under suspension?

Explanation

According to Rule 10(1) of the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965, the authorities competent to place a government servant under suspension are:

  • The Appointing Authority.
  • Any authority to which the Appointing Authority is subordinate.
  • The Disciplinary Authority.
  • Any other authority empowered in that behalf by the President by general or special order.

An Inquiry Authority (or Inquiring Authority) is appointed under Rule 14 to conduct a formal inquiry into the charges framed against a government servant. While they facilitate the disciplinary process, they do not possess the legal power to suspend the official under the CCS (CCA) Rules. Therefore, option D is the correct answer as it is not a competent authority for suspension.
