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.
