In keeping with the provisions of 311 of the Consitution of India before its amendment by the Constitution (42nd Amendment) Act, rules 11-A, 25 and 26 of the Karnataka Civil Services (Classification, Control & Appeal) Rules, 1957 required that before any of the penalties specified in clauses (v) to (viii) of rule 8 of the said rules were imposed on a Government servant, he shall be given an opportunity of making such representation as he may wish to make on the proposed penalty. This was generally called "the second show cause notice."
Consequent on the amendment of article 311 of the Constitution, rules 11-A, 25 and 26 have been amended in the Government Notification No. DPAR 70 SSR 76, dated 15th January 1977 (published in the Karnataka Gazette dated, 20th January 1977) and the requirements to issue the "second show cause notice" have been omitted. It is now not necessary to issue "the second show cause notice" in such cases.
Where such 'second show cause notice' has already been issued to a Government servant before the date of coming into force of the aforesaid amendments, a reply thereto may be awaited and the representation, if any, submitted by such Government servant taken into consideration before any final orders passed.
The Secretaries to Government and Heads of Department are requested to bring the above position to the notice of all the Disciplinary Authorities / Appointing Authorities under their control.
