Provided that when an order of dismissal is passed under this clause, the workman shall be deemed to have been absent from duty during the period of suspension and shall not be entitled to any remuneration for such period, but the subsistence allowance already paid to him shall not be recovered.

(b)      where an authority empowered to dismiss or remove a person or to reduce him in rank is satisfied that for some reason, to be recorded by that authority in writing it is not reasonably practiable to hold such enquiry; or

(c)      where the Chairman is satisfied that in the interest of the security of the State it is not expedient to hold such inquiry.

It is not the intention to use this rule as a financial weapon, that is to say, the previous should be used only in the case of a workman who is considered unfit for retention on personal as opposed to financial grounds.

(ii)      Compulsory retirement under this regulation does not attract the provisions of clause 2 of the Article 311 of the Constitution of India because such retirement is not conceived as a penalty but as the exercise of a right reserved by the Board of retiring a workman after he has served for a certain length of time. Accordingly, the procedure laid down under these regulations for formal proceedings against a workman before removing him from service is not meant to apply to such cases.

(iii)     This rule shall be applicable both to the workmen who are members of the C.P.F. scheme and those of the erstwhile E & M Department of the Government of Rajasthan who have opted for Board?s service with penisonary benefits.

Note :-

(i)       The right conferred by Regulation 24(3) is intended to be exercised only against a workman whose efficiency is impaired, but against whom it is not desirable to make formal charges of inefficiency or who has ceased to be fully efficient but not to such a degree as to warrant his retirement on compulsory grounds. It is not the intention to use this rule as a financial weapon, that is to say, the previous should be used only in the case of a workman who is considered unfit for retention on personal as opposed to financial grounds.

(ii)      Compulsory retirement under this regulation does not attract the provisions of clause 2 of the Article 311 of the Constitution of India because such retirement is not conceived as a penalty but as the exercise of a right reserved by the Board of retiring a workman after he has served for a certain length of time. Accordingly, the procedure laid down under these regulations for formal proceedings against a workman before removing him from service is not meant to apply to such cases.

(iii)     This rule shall be applicable both to the workmen who are members of the C.P.F. scheme and those of the erstwhile E & M Department of the Government of Rajasthan who have opted for Board?s service with penisonary benefits.

(iv)    In the case of workman of erstwhile E&M Department opting for Board?s service with penisonary benefits as also in case of other workman subscribing to C.P.F. the term service shall mean the period from the date of initial appointment under the State Government or the Board, as the case may be, to the date of compulsory retirement under sub-regulation (iv) above.
