HC employees to face action for ‘indiscipline’  

Srinagar: Employees of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court will have to face disciplinary action if they resort to indiscipline.

According to a circular issued here, the Registrar General said that it has been observed and noticed that some employees of the High Court remain absent from the office without submitting any leave application.

“It is also observed that some officials leave the office, during working hours without any permission or leave. Whenever it is pointed out, leave applications are submitted by them or by some other employee on their behalf in a very casual manner. This is against the rules governing the service conditions and also gives rise to indiscipline,” the Registrar General said.

In order to ensure discipline and proper functioning of the office, the Registrar General impressed upon all the officers concerned and the employees of the High Court that all employees shall reach the office well in time.

“No employee shall remain absent from office without leave and no employee shall leave the office during the office hours without obtaining prior permission of the Competent Authority,” the Registrar General said.

Any deviation from the circular, the Registrar General said, shall be viewed seriously and “disciplinary action under rules shall follow.”
