***
Hitherto the procedure followed to obtain permission from the Transport Commissioner
under rule 258(2)(ii) of A.P. Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, is that the subject of grant of permission for
a town service route is first placed before the Regional Transport Authority for grant and referred to
the Transport Commissioner if the distance of town service route is more than 8 Kms., from the
municipal limits.
However, in Special Order, the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in
SLP.No.21474/97 has directed, among other things, when the permission of the Transport
Commissioner is congenialated in rule 258(2) of A.P.M.V.Rules should be preceded the grant of the
permit by the Regional Transport Authority.
Keeping the above direction in view, the following guidelines are issued in processing the
applications filed for grant of town service routes.
1. All the applications should be received by the Secretary, RTA concerned.
2. After verification, the application should be referred to the concerned Motor Vehicles Inspector
for a detailed survey report covering the following aspects:(i)
Total distance of the route.
(ii)
Length of the portion of the route that is served and unserved.
(iii)
Villages covered by the route on the unserved portion and their population.
(iv)
Distance of overlapping portion on the notified routes of APSRTC.
(v)
Length of the route within the municipal limits and outside municipal limits.
(vi)
Whether both the terminus of the route applied for are at points where the traffic is
generated.
3. After the receipt of the report from the Motor Vehicles Inspector, the application should be
processed and referred to the Transport Commissioner with detailed particulars on the lines
mentioned above along with a rough sketch clearly showing the portions of overlapping distance
on notified routes of APSRTC, distance within municipal/town limits and distance outside
municipal/town limits in different colours for permission under rule 258(2)(ii) of A.P.M.V.Rules,
1989 if the length of the route is more than 8 Kms from the municipal limits and if the
overlapping portion on the notified routes is within the permissible limits of the schemes. The
applications for which permission is granted by the Transport Commissioner can then, be placed
before the Regional Transport Authority, for disposal.
4. Action on the other applications which do not require the permission of the Transport
Commissioner should be processed as per the existing rules and placed before the Regional
Transport Authority for consideration.
In this connection, the attention of all the Secretaries of Regional Transport Authorities is
drawn to the Rule 258(2) of A.P.M.V.Rules, 1989 which stipulates that it is the Regional Transport
Authority which should be determine as to which are the town service routes.

Circular Memo No.21253/E3/98
Dated 9-2-1999
Sub:- Suits – W.P.No.3313/96 and batch – Certain instructions – Issued – Regarding.
***
The Hon’ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh in W.P.No.3313/1996 and batch dealing with the
grant of two service permits in one district has observed that certain irregularities have crept into the
system. These malpractice and fraudulent methods found were as follows:
i)
Large number of applications for grant of pucca and temporary permits are kept
pending for years.
ii)
Applications of persons who obtain orders from the court for disposal of their cases
alone are considered by the Secretary, Regional Transport Authority.
iii)
When court gave directions to Secretary, Regional Transport Authority, only to
“consider” the application for grant of temporary permits, temporary permits were
“granted”.
iv)
When Court directed Secretary, Regional Transport Authority to consider the
application for grant of temporary permit, pending consideration of their applications
for grant of pucca permits, TPs were continued to be issued even after the
applications for pucca permit were considered and rejected by Regional Transport
Authority.
v)
The Regional Transport Authorities orders are communicated to the applicants by
registered post only and not by registered post with acknowledgement due.
vi)
Temporary permits are granted on town service routes 8Kms., without obtaining the
permission of the Transport Commissioner and in some cases even after rejection of
request for permission U/R.288(2) (ii) of Andhra Pradesh Motor Vehicles Rules,
1989.
vii)
W.Ps are being filed in High Court and obtaining orders directing the Secretary,
Regional Transport Authority to consider their application even without filling an
application for grant of temporary permit at the office or filing only on the same day
when WP is filed.
viii)
Applicants are suppressing and/or misrepresenting the facts and misleading the Court
and obtaining orders.
ix)
Full information called for by the High Court is not submitted by the Secretary,
Regional Transport Authority leading to difficulty in dispensing Justice.
In view of the above malpractices found in the functioning of our offices as pointed out by
the Hon’ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh, the following instructions are issued to all Secretaries of
Regional Transport Authorities:
1. Any application received for stage carriage permit should be referred to the Motor
Vehicles Inspector for his report in 3 days time and the report should be obtained within
15 days of such referral as indicated in Circular No.6975/D1/92 dt.2-2-99
2. After receiving the Motor Vehicles Inspectors report, the application must the processed
and placed in the next Regional Transport Authority meeting along with other
applications chronologically, without delay.
3. If any order or affidavit is received from any Court, it should be immediately linked to
the connected file pending in the office and parawar remarks be sent clearly rebutting any
4
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
claims and submissions made, which are contrary to the facts in the file. Any
misrepresentation must be promptly brought to the notice of the Court.
Applications for temporary permits be generally discouraged in view of the prompt action
contemplated with regard to application for pucca permit. In case, any applicant should
be clubbed to the concerned file without fail.
Any order of Regional Transport Authority to the applicant should be sent by RPAD and
the acknowledgement received should be clubbed to the concerned file without fail.
In case of application for town service permit where the distance beyond the municipal
limits is more than 8Kms., permission of T.C. u/r 258 (2) (ii) of APMV rules, 1989 is
mandatory, whether it is pucca permit or temporary permit based on orders of the Court.
Further, the permission of TC should be obtained before the grant of town service permit
as per the SC Judgement in cited in Circular Memo.No.
dt:
Whenever the court directs the Authorities to “consider” the case, it must not be
construed as “grant”. When such a direction is received, the application must be only
considered as per the existing law, duly following the procedure for disposal. Any ‘grant’
can be made only if it is legally permitted and not based on the direction of the court to
“consider”.
Whenever any court/Tribunal asks for certain information, this should be gathered based
on the facts available in the connected file. All the information sought for by the court
must be submitted fully, legibly and promptly.
All the Secretaries of Regional Transport Authorities are requested to ensure that the defects
and malpractices pointed out by the Honorable High Court are not repeated in their offices and follow
the instructions mentioned above scrupulously. Any lapse in these matters would be viewed with
extreme severity.
The receipt of the circular should be acknowledged by return of post.

***
In the recent Deputy Transport Commissioners conference held on 11/12-1-1999, some
Officers have expressed that there are no adequate number of Pollution Testing Centers in their
district, as a result of which they are not in a position to test more vehicles for smoke emission. To get
over this type of situation, they sought instructions as to whether the existing licences holders can be
permitted more areas within the district to test more and more vehicles.
According to the sub rule 9 (f) of Rule 486 of A.P.M.V. Rules, 1989, the holders of a licence
granted under rule “(5) of Rule 486 should not shift the testing station from the premises mentioned in
the licence, without the prior approval in writing of the Licensing Authority which granted the
licence.
Keeping in view the priority given to reducing vehicular pollution under the ‘ Clean and
Green Andhra Pradesh’ Programme, the District Officers are permitted to allow the existing licence
holders to test vehicles in other areas in the same district by shifting the equipment by intimating the
Joint Transport Commissioner, Deputy Transport Commissioner/ Regional Transport Officer
concerned under intimation to the Motor Vehicle Inspector concerned well in advance, to ensure close

Circular Memo No.11/2608/V1/99
Dated : 11-2-1999
Sub:- Motor Vehicles – Contract Carriages – Grant of Temporary Permits – Certain
instructions – Issued.
***
In supercession of the instructions issued earlier on issue of temporary permits under Section
88(8) of the Motor Vehicles Act 1988 and on maintenance of connected records like Temporary
Permit register, Prorata Tax Register and Demand Collection Balance in respect of contract carriages
covered by basic permits and idle buses, the following consolidated instructions are issued for strict
compliance.
a. Since the vehicles will be booked by the parties well in advance to perform the journey,
registered owners may similarly be advised to apply for Temporary Permits well in
advance of the date of commencement of the journey, preferably by displaying this
message prominently in the notice board. This will help in scrutiny of applications
carefully and avoid inconvenience to operators and tourist parties.
b. On filling the applications, they should be thoroughly scrutinized from the point of view
of valid records like registration certificate, fitness certificate, insurance certificate and
adequacy of payment of tax with all relevant details in the prescribed application from
duly signed by the registered owner.
c. The duration of the special permit applied for should be need-based taking into
consideration the number of days required to cover the distances and places mentioned in
the application.
d. Dates of validity of temporary permit duly maintaining the number of days in words for
which temporary permit is issued should be noted clearly so that no scoffer interpolation
of figures is given to the registered owner with any fraudulent motive.
e. A register for noting amounts of taxes paid on prorata basis for every vehicle should be
maintained along with temporary permit register in the following proforma:-
Sl.No.

f.
At the end of the quarter an abstract of number of days for which temporary permit
obtained and amount of tax paid should be struck for each vehicle and postings made in
the regular Demand Collection Balance showing the amount of tax paid as both demand
and collection.
g. The Regional Transport Officer / Deputy Transport Commissioner should keep a specific
watch on the vehicles obtaining Temporary Permits for a few days in a given quarter
about their plying without permit and payment of tax during the period when they are not
covered by temporary permit and also keep a watch on every vehicle about their plying or
otherwise during the idle period by allotting vehicles to Motor Vehicle Inspector/
Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspector in the district. He should personally verify stoppage of
a few vehicles at random on a regular basis to make sure that control of Motor Vehicle
Inspectors and Assistant Motor Vehicles Inspectors on such vehicles is on expected lines.
To facilitate this, the places of registered buses will be parked during idle period and the
same noted in prorata tax register.
h. While processing the application for temporary permit history sheet of the registered
owner from the point of view of his misuse of the vehicle as a stage carriage during the
currency of temporary permits issued previously and check reports made by the executive
staff should be taken into consideration. In case of any such background, the genuineness
of the journey may be verified through field staff before the temporary permit is issued.
i. The issue of temporary permits for the carriage of factory employees should not be
resorted to as a matter of routine instead by ascertaining the needs of the factories placing
the subject before the Regional Transport Authorities where ever necessary.
j. When once tax on prorata basis is accepted and a temporary permit issued specifying the
dates/ periods, there is no provision either to refund the tax or to adjust the tax for future
periods. However during the periods for which tax is paid, any number of temporary
permits can be granted on surrender of previous permit.

Act 1963. The Agricultural Tractor-Trailers are since classified as non-Transport Vehicles and

Certain instructions issued – Reg.
***
Instances have come to notice that while allotting registration numbers through
auction to the new vehicles, the registering authorities are not taking care that fair opportunity is
afforded to all the prospective bidders. Instances have also come to light that certain
unscrupulous elements are forming into a ‘wing’ and knocking away the fancy numbers with a
minimum amount, thus adversely affecting the Government revenue.
All steps may be taken to ensure that the allotment of fancy numbers is made in a
more objective, rational and transparent manner so that equal opportunity is given to all the
participants competing for the number. The sealed tenders system be made foolproof to put a
stop to the unfair tactics of ring formation.
The registering authorities are informed that if they are not satisfied with the bid
amount offered in the bid, they may also go for open tender bidding and may take the highest
amount. Still if they are not convinced about the fairness of the auction process they may
postpone the auction and call for fresh applications giving opportunity to the earlier applicants
and decide the case by following the above procedure.
Since, Government revenues are involved, the registering authorities should be
more careful and objective in the matter.

Sub:-Transport Department – Misuse of vehicles attracting higher rate of tax – Fixing of
responsibility on MVIs having territorial jurisdiction – Certain instructions – Issued –
Regarding.
***
It is observed that leakage of revenue in the shape of tax to Government is on the increase
by way of misuse of different categories of personal Vehicles / Public Service Vehicles. Such
leakage is by paying lesser rate of tax and using for the purpose attracting higher rate of tax.
These Vehicles include Omini buses like Tata Sumos, Commander Jeeps used as Stage Carriages
and Contract Carriages, three and four wheeler motor cabs used as Stage Carriages covered by
route permits and plying on unauthorised routes etc., attracting higher rate of tax under the
provisions of A.P.M.V Taxation Act.
Instructions were given from time to time to book cases and curb such unauthorised
operations. Not much improvement is seen. Evidently, no concerted efforts have been made by
Officers to curb such unauthorised operators. This is repeatedly being pointed out also by several
legislature committees.
In order to curb such operations and to plug leakages in the revenue and keeping in view
the high revenue target fixed for the year 1999-2000 the following instructions are issued to come
into force with immediate effect, fixing responsibility essentially on the Motor Vehicles having
territorial jurisdiction over the area.
a) Details of Vehicles which are paying less tax and used for the purpose attracting
higher rate of tax should be listed MVI/AMVI jurisdiction wise in all the Districts
with details like Sl. No. Registration No. of the Vehicle, Class of Vehicle, Seating
Capacity, permit particulars (if any) present rate of tax and amount, route on which
normally operated and lying in which MVI/AMVIs jurisdiction, rate of tax and
amount because of misuse difference of tax that is likely to accrue per quarter,
collection particulars etc.
b) A separate DCB should be maintained by the MVI/AMVI concerned for each of
these Vehicles indicating tax already paid, difference of tax collected with particulars
of VCR No., date, name of checking officer, particulars of demand draft, reasons for
non-collection of difference of tax etc.
c) Prepare an abstract of Vehicles for which difference of tax could not be collected and
MVI/AMVI responsible for such non-collection.
The whole exercise is aimed at ensuring that every such Vehicle suffers tax at the higher
rate atleast once in a quarter so that the Government does not loose revenue by way of such
misuse. In case the MVI/AMVI having territorial in enforcing relevant provisions under both
M.V. Act and A.P. Motor Vehicles Taxation Act, he should bring forth the reasons in the shape of
a detailed report to the officer concerned who should in turn Contract-ordinate enforcement
relating to these Vehicles at district level and if necessary at the level of supervisory Deputy
Transport Commissioner of Joint Transport Commissioner (Vigilance). Any negligence in this
regard either on the part of the Motor Vehicles Inspector/ Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspector
having territorial jurisdiction over the area and the divisional level Regional Transport Officer
and district level Officer will be viewed every seriously. Similarly, supervisory Deputy Transport
Commissioner should also ensure that each Vehicle suffers tax atleast once in a quarter buy
reviewing this item of work on top priority.

composite tax of Rs.3,000/- from the date of issue in one lumpsum. In view of the amendment to
sub-rule (3) of Rules 83 of CMV Rules 1989 deleting the words “ and shall expire on the 31 st of
March of the year” the permit holders should pay the composite tax in advance in one lumpsum for a
period of one year reckoned from the date of validity of National Permit or authorisation the same has
already been communicated directly to you vide reference cited at (3) above. Even the Ministry of
Surface Transport vide letter No. RT/16011/O/97-T, dated 13-11-1998 have reiterated that “the
period for the permit should be reckoned on day to day basis”. The period of one year should be
reckoned from the day permit is granted to operator. Hence, I request you to issue instructions to all
National Permit issuing Authorities of Andhra Pradesh to collection Rs.3,000/- composite tax from
National Permits holders opted to ply their Vehicles in Karnataka in one lumpsum for a period of one
year reckoned from the date of issue of National Permit or authorisation.

In the reference cited the Regional Transport Officer, Vizianagaram sought for clarification
regarding collection of composite tax due to other States since the validity of authorisation expired on
30-9-1997 in respect AP5/T-6779 covered by National Permit.
The Regional Transport Officer, Vizianagaram is informed that the authorisation is valid for
one year. The permit holder has paid the composite tax for the 1 st half year ending i.e. upto
30-9-1997. Though the authorisation was not renewed the liability of composite tax arises for the 2nd
half year, i.e. from 1-1-1997 to 31-3-1998. He is therefore requested to collect the composite tax due
to other States with penalty upto 31-3-1998.

The Court made the Common Order:PVR & TCSR JJ
W..P.NoS 8456,4395 and 10855 of 1999
Oral Common Order ( per Hon’ble Justice P.Venkatarama Reddy ).
The Petitioners question the action of the respondents concerned in demanding tax at the
rate of Rs.2,500/- per seat per quarter as a pre-contention of the petitioners that as per the
notification issued in G.O.Ms.No.216, Transport, Roads & Buildings, (Tr.-II) Department, dated :
4-12-1997, amending the First Schedule to the Andhra Pradesh Motor Vehicles Taxation Act, the
correct tax payable for the maxi cab vehicles permitted to carry more than twelve passengers is
Rs.1,000/- per seat per quarter. In view of the amendment of the First Schedule, the contention of
the petitioners cannot be and has not been disputed by the learned Government Pleader.
Obviously, the Transport Authorities have demanded tax based on the earlier notification issued
under Section.3 of the Act, whereunder the rate of quarterly tax for contract carriages covered by
all India Tourist Permits permitted to carry more than six passengers was prescribed at Rs.2,500/per seat per quarter and for the contract carriages plying within the home district the rate was
prescribed at Rs.1,150/- per seat. With the amendment of the schedule, forming part of the Act,
the said notification issued under Section.3 does not hold the field. Hence, the writ petitions are
allowed and the respondents are directed to collect tax as per the amendment made to the first
schedule under G.O.Ms.No.216. Transport, Roads & Buildings ( Tr.III) Department, dated : 0412-1997.
No Costs.
Thus Rule Nisi has been made absolute in W.P.No.s.8456 and 4395/99, 5295 and
10855/99 as above.

MINISTRY OF SURFACE TRANSPORT (TRANSPORT WING)
No.RT-16011/6/97-T New Delhi, the 15th November, 1998
To: The Transport Secretary/Commissioner of All State/Union Territory
Sir,
Sub: Collection of Composite fee and Authorisation from National Permit-Holder-Regional.
For quite some time past it was being brought to the notice of the Ministry that different State Governments
are collecting Composite fee from the National Permit Holders and issuing Authorisation in a different
manner. Besides, there was a general complaint of loss of Bank drafts submitted by National Permit
Holders, in transit or non-receipt of Bank drafts in time.
2.
3.
With a view to bring uniformity throughout the country the above issues were discussed in the 28 th
meeting of the Transport Development Council (TDC), held on 10-1098 and it was unanimously
decided that:
a) the composite fee should be paid by the transport operators on annual basis in one lumpsum at
the time of applying for National Permit.
b) The period for the permit should be reckoned on day the permit is granted to operators.
c) The State Governments may open their accounts at each RTO from where the permits are
issued so that the composite fee in favour of state concerned could be deposited in their
account. This would minimise the delay and the risk of non-realisation of the money due to
them.
d) The forms to be used for the purpose should be on a uniform pattern as per CMV Rules, 1989.
e) In case there is a difference in the rates of composite fee paid by the operator and actually
payable for any particular state, no fine should levied on the operator since he has paid the
amount according to the demand raised on him.
It is requested that the above decision taken by the TDC may be strictly implemented.
Yours faithfully,
(SP Gupta)
Under Secretary to Govt. of India.

Sub:- Transport Department – Compounding of offences U/S.200 of MV ActInstructions issued not to collect compounding fee in cash on road – Regarding.
***
At present, all the executive officers are compounding the offences under section 200 of
M.V.Act in respect of offences committed by drivers under different sections of M.V.Act. Several
complaints are received alleging that the executive staff are misusing these powers on the road.
Keeping the above type of complaints in view, the practice of compounding of offences
and collection of cash by the executive staff has been reviewed and it is decided to dispense with
this practice.

Dated 23-6-2000
Sub:-Rates of Tax to be levied on idle vehicles misused as stage carriages- Clarification
sought for – Instructions issued – Regarding.
***
During the recent DTCs conference, a clarification was sought about rate of tax to be
made applicable in respect of idle vehicles misused as stage carriages during the currency of
temporary permits and tax at stage carriage rate is already collected for such use. The matter has
been examined. The following clarification and instructions are given to come into force with
immediate effect.
(a) Occasions to collect quarterly tax either as a stage carriage or as a contract carriage
on idle vehicles arise when the vehicle is already covered by a temporary permit duly
paying prorata tax and misused as stage carriage during the currency of temporary
permit/ Such occasion may also arise when the vehicle is not covered by any
temporary permit and no payment of tax, and misused either as a stage carriage or as
a contract carriage without permit.
(b) In both scenarios, tax for the entire quarter at the rate applicable for ordinary or
express stage carriage or tax as a contract carriage at the rates applicable to home
district and any one contiguous district or tax at Rs.2,500/- applicable to other types
of contract carriages namely home district and more than one contiguous district,
state wide permit or All India Tourist permit is attracted.
(c) It is possible that after misuse of the nature mentioned above, the registered owner
will approach the office for grant of temporary permits requiring payment prorata tax.
(d) In such cases, the licensing officers should collect prorata tax due at the time of
applying for every temporary permit notwithstanding the fact that he has already paid
tax for the entire quarter on direction at the rates mentioned against item (a) and (b).
(e) At the end of the quarter, the total tax paid both by way of detection and by way of
payment of tax on prorata basis should not exceed Rs.2, 500/- also. In this scenario,
the tax content will be the quarterly tax already paid because of detection plus the
amount of prorata tax paid at the time of issuing temporary permits during the quarter
subsequent to detection

Sub:- Motor Vehicles – Three Wheeled Auto Rickshaws having seating capacity of
Seven in all – Certain Structural Changes – Orders – Regarding.
***
I t is observed that three wheeled motor cabs having a seating capacity of 7 in all are
increasingly seen on the roads of the State. These vehicles are mostly misused as from booking
cases of their misuse as Stage Carriages, it is felt that there is need to insist upon certain
modifications in the body of these vehicles. There are:
(a) Closing the Space available on the left side of the driver with a fixed grill on both
sides. This is necessary keeping inview the fact that drivers are using this space to
carry three to four persons fixing a box stating that it is meant to keep the tool kit.
Very often, a cushion is also arranged on top of this so-called toolbox.
(b) The right side part of the passengers’ cabin where an entrance is provided should also
be closed with a permanent grill totally preventing any passenger to enter into the
passengers’ cabin from the right side of the vehicle.
(c) A door with a lever and windows should also be fixed on the left side of the
passengers’ cabin with sliding glasses or a grill to prevent passengers from falling
down.
All the officers are therefore requested to ensure that these vehicles comply with the
above mentioned modifications at the time of new registration. Action also should be taken to
issue instructions to the field executives to ensure that such modifications are made when they are
produced for renewal of fitness certificates. They should also ensure that the above instructions
are made applicable by field staff in respect of vehicles plying on the road.

***
Of late, complaints are received about increasing number of cars registered as luxury
motor cabs but using them as private cars. In the result, the registered owners are avoiding
payment of life tax. The information is that by registering the vehicles as motor cabs, the
registered owners are also availing concession in excise duty. The Joint Transport Commissioner,
Hyderabad, all Deputy Transport Commissioners and Regional Transport Officers are therefore,
requested to initiate immediate action on the following lines to curb such registration:(a) List out all the vehicles registered as motor cabs and using them as private cars
evading payment of life tax.
(b) Launch special drive and book cases with supporting evidence to prove that they are
not plying for hire but using as private cars.
(c) Ensure that all such motor cabs are converted as cars immediately. In all such cases,
the tax that has already been paid as motor cab till the date of conversion as car may
be deducted from the life tax assessed based on the original invoice price and collect
difference of tax.
This is in line with the circular issued in the reference 1st cited, a copy of which is
enclosed for ready reference. In the result circular Memo issued in the reference 2 nd cited stands
cancelled. This item of work will be reviewed during visits of Senior Officers to the district

lieu of Assistant Secretary – Regarding.
Ref:-Representation dt.
of A.P.T.D. Gazetted Officers Association.
@@@
The Transport Department Gazetted Officers Association has represented that the
Regional Transport Officers are very often designated as Assistant Secretaries in the
correspondence, circulars, etc., emanating from T.C’s Office and from other offices. It is
represented in this connection that such depiction is not correct since they discharge many other
functions under the M.V.Act, and A.P. Motor Vehicle Taxation Act like issue of Driving
Licences, Conductor’s Certificate, Registration of Vehicles, collection of taxes etc., in their
capacity as Licensing Authority, Registration Authority, etc. Discharging functions as Assistant
Secretary, Regional Transport Authority is only one such function and therefore depicting them
as Assistant Secretaries does not truly reflect the functioning of the cadre of Regional Transport
Officers.
Therefore they have represented that in future, they may be depicted as Regional
Transport Officers. Representation of the Association is examined in detail. Under the M.V.Act
Regional Transport Officers functioning as the Secretary, RTA., or Assistant Secretary, Regional
Transport Authority or State Transport Authority issue Permits to different categories of Vehicles
and this is only a part of the duties discharging by them. There are many other functions like
administration, looking of accounts, inspections etc. apart from the functions discharged by them
on the lines mentioned above. Depicting them as Assistant Secretaries does not reflect their total
job responsibility as RTOs.
Therefore the Additional Transport Commissioner, all Joint Transport Commissioners, all
Deputy Transport Commissioners are therefore requested not to use the designation of Regional
Transport Officers as Assistant Secretaries but only use their cadre namely, RTOs in the entire
future correspondence, circulars, letters, etc.

At present the practice in vogue is that where there are two Regional Transport Officer’s
Office situated in the same district, entire Stage Carriages work relating to grant of permits is
being attended to by the Regional Transport Officer’s Office situated at the Head Quarters and
the work relating to the taxation of Stage Carriages is being done in the subordinate office of that

The same has also been noticed by the Audit party Committee during the recent meetings
held at various places in the State. The matters pertaining to disciplinary action against Stage
Carriages for long stoppages, maintenance of Spare buses are being referred to by the subordinate
Regional Transport Officers Office to Head Quarters Office situated at the District Head
Quarters. But the cases are not being properly scrutinised thereby creating confusion and loss of
revenue because of lack of proper action. Therefore the Audit Committee has recommended that
it would be better if the entire work relating to grant of that it would be better if the entire work
relating to grant of Stage Carriages and collection of taxes may be dealt at the concerned
Regional Transport Officers Offices only.
In view of the details maintained above, it is decided that the entire work relating to the
Stage Carriages be entrusted to the Regional Transport Officer, Deputy Transport Commissioners
office with reference to their respective jurisdiction.
The Regional Transport Officer, Deputy Transport Commissioner concerned are
requested to take immediate action and report compliance. The receipt of the memo should be

succeeding quarter, namely within three months after the quarter is over.
2. Final compliance report should be submitted within 30 days from the date of receipt
of the remarks from the date of receipt of the remarks from the inspecting officer.
3. With regard to annual inspection, it should be completed within three months after
the financial year is over i.e. before the end of June. Follow up action should be on
the lines mentioned above relating to quarterly inspection.
4. Inspection of Unit Offices, MVIs Offices and AMVIs Offices should from part of the
inspection mentioned above. The inspecting officer should ensure that the
subordinate officer has inspected all the offices under his control by the time he
complete his inspection. For this purpose, every MVI and AMVI has to be treated as
a separate entity and inspection completed.

Respondents
Petition under article 226 of the Constitution of praying that in the circumstances stated in the
affidavit filed herein the High Court will be pleased to issue a writ order or direction
particularly one in the nature of a way of mandamus, declaring the action of the 2nd respondent
is not issuing special permits as per applications, under Section 88 (8) of M.V.A Category as
illegal, arbitrary, unjust contract special permits under Section 88 (8) if M.V. Act forthwith to
the Vehicles of the petitioner
FOR THE PETITIONER: Mr. B.SIVARAMA KRISHNAIAH, ADVOCATE
FOR THE RESPONDENTS: G.P. FOR TRANSPORT
THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING ORDER:
(The Hon’ble Sri Justice B.S.A. Swamy)
Aggrieved by the action of the respondents in not granting special permit under Section 88
(8) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, for the idle Vehicles owned by the petitioner, from time to
time, the present writ petition has been filed.
Heard the Government Pleader for Transport.
In the counter filed by the respondents it is stated that the Vehicles owned by the petitioner
are covered by All India Tourist Permits, which are going to expire in the year 2000. As long as
the Vehicles are covered by All India Tourist Permits, the petitioner has to pay tax per Vehicle at
91
the rate of Rs.2,500/- per seat per quarter which comes to Rs.85,000/- per quarter. But,
subsequently, the petitioner got concealed the All India Tourist Permit on 5-8-1998 on the ground
that there was no tourist business. It is the case of the respondents that to avoid tax, the petitioner
adapted this method of plying the Vehicle continuously on the route, Hyderabad to Bombay and
vive-vice by obtaining Temporary Permits/ Special Permits, whereby he was paying the tax of
Rs.34,000/- per quarter. It is also the case of the respondents that the Vehicles are found plying
continuously on the route Hyderabad to Bombay and there is every suspicion that the petitioner is
plying the vehicle as a State Carriage than a Contract Carriage. The refused contact respondent
counsel further contended that the respondent never referred to grant of special Permits but only
directed the Motor Vehicle Inspector to contact the contractor who engaged the vehicle and submit
a report. In mean time, the petitioner rushed to this court without waiting for the orders passed by
the respondents.
As per the version of the respondents, they cannot grant Permits unless they are satisfied
about the genuineness of the contracting party and whether the vehicle is likely to carry passengers
from one point to another without stopping, without picking up or allowing the commuters to get
down, included in the contract entered and the Authorities have to take necessary precautions to
prevent pilferage of revenues to the Government. Both the parties agreed that under Section 88 (8)
of the Act, the State Transport Authority of a region has to consider the grant of Special Permit,
subject to the Rules, made by the Central Government under the Act. But, as no rules have been
framed under this Section for grant of Special Permits left to the discretion of the Authorities
concerned. Hence the council for the petitioner submits that unless certain guidelines are issued
by the High Court, the harassment that is being meted out to the operators cannot be minimised.
In the light of the submissions made by both the parties, I am inclined to pass the
following order:
The Supreme Court in ACHYUT SHIVRAM GOKKALE VS… Regional Transport
Officers & Others (1) Held that Contract Carriage Permits and Special Permit are not one and
same and a special Permit is ordinarily taken to meet a need that exists for a few days like carrying
a marriage party or persons going on a pilgrimage etc. in other words while the Contract Carriages
Permits cover for the whole quarter for the tax paid, under a special Permit the owner of an idle
vehicle has to pay tax at a concession rate of required by taxation Act. A look at Sub-Section 8 of
Section 88 of the Act makes it clear that special Permits can be granted for the convenience of the
public transport, any public service vehicles for Carrying passengers for cash or reward, express or
implied for the use of the vehicle as a whole. While a Contract Carriage Permit issued by a
Regional Transport Authority of any one region is not valid in any other region unless the permit
has been countersigned by the Regional Transport Authority of the other region as provided under
Section 63 (1) a special Permits issued by one Regional Transport Authority under Section 63 (6)
is valid by any other region or State without the countersignature of the Regional Transport
Authority of the other region or the other State as the case may be. An idle vehicle has to be
engaged by the contractor as a whole under a Contract the same being express or implied by a
passenger or passengers and the vehicles so engaged shall not stop to pick up or set down
passengers not included in the Contract along the line of route.
This court considering a similar situation with regard to Contract Carriages has taken the
view that the contractor while applying for a permit shall file a list of passengers before the
Authorities along with the application. The counsel for the petitioner contends that permit has to
be issued immediately on the basis of the list of passengers filed by the Contract along with the
application without verifying its genuinely. I am afraid, I cannot accept the contention raised by
the counsel for the petitioner, in the light of the language of Sub-Section 8 of Section 88 of the
92
Act, without going into the merits or demerits of the rival contentions, I am inclined to direct the
respondents to consider the applications of the operators for grant of special permits on fulfillment
of the following conditions:1. The operator has to file an application seeking special Permit with the Contract
entered into between him and the Contractor duly enclosing the list of passengers, at
least 24 hours before the commencement of journey, unless special circumstances
exist. As and when special circumstances exist, it is always open to the Authorities
concerned to relax the time limit for submitting the application. After receipt of the
application, the Authorities concerned shall complete the enquiry as expeditiously as
possible and see that permission is accorded to the operator atleast three hours before
commencement of the journey.
2. The Commuters travelling in the vehicle should belong to one homogeneous group
and they should undertake the journey for a common purpose.
3. The driver shall always keep the list of passengers along with the vehicle till the
vehicle completes the trip as shown in the special permit.
4. The entire party shall travel point to point. Of course, if any of the passengers wants
to get down enroute, it is always open to him to do so, but the operators shall not pick
up any passenger in place of the person who got down.
With the above directions and guidelines the writ petition is disposed of.

ORDER:Of late, Government have been contemplating upon the need for performance oriented

Government to adopt the system of counseling for postings and transfers for better management
of the human resources available, basing on proper evaluation of performance and merit. While
effecting transfers and postings, merit and performances would be properly valued and
quantifiable criteria would be adopted.
Based on the above, the issue of proper guidelines for effecting transfers and postings has
been examined at length in consultation with the Transport Commissioner and Government
hereby approve the following guidelines for effecting transfers in Transport Department duly
adhering to the norms prescribed in Annexures I & II to this orders:
(1) The Transport Department is essentially a regulatory Department enforcing the
provisions of Motor Vehicles Act, Andhra Pradesh Motor Vehicles Taxation Act and
rules made there- under, with emphasis on collection of revenue. To enable the
Department to function effectively, it is necessary to have the right personnel posted
in the right places. Keeping the above objectives in view, counseling for transfers is
proposed in respect of Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspectors, Motor Vehicle Inspectors,
Regional Transport Officers and Deputy Transport Commissioners.
(2) The Board criteria for the two main categories of a) AMVIs and MVIs b) Officers of
and above the rank of Regional Transport Officers are enclosed in Annexure – I and
II. It is proposed to collect service particulars from the District Officers wherever
not available. The transfers will be made taking into account the record of last three
years as the recent performance is a better indicator of the employee rather than a
much longer period. As regards the authority to transfer the officials, the following
authorities are designated for the purpose.
a) Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspectors
b) Motor Vehicle Inspectors / RTOs
c) Deputy Transport Commissioners

Memo No.17292/Tr.I(1)/2000
Dated: 10-11-2000
Sub:-Transport Department – Streamlining of the system and eliminating corruption in
RTA offices - Suggestions – Regarding.
***
It has been brought to the notice of the Government that the surprise check reports of
Checkposts and Offices of RTA and trap reports on officers of Transport Department consistently
report wide spread practice of authorised agents and private persons being engaged as
intermediaries for collection of bribes from the public to let vehicles through checkposts, for issue
of driving licences, registration of vehicles and such other services. ACB has been reporting free
movement of such so called licensed agents or private persons within the office premises through
whom transactions are conducted. The unseemly sight of the agents lined up all along the road in
front of S/RTA office has become a daily routine. It is becoming next to impossible to transact
business without the intermediation of these persons. It has been the experience, when
confronted in the course of these checks and in the course of departmental inquiries that the
officers deny any link between them and these agents. Prosecution and traps where private
persons are involved is also becoming increasingly difficult. There is no doubt that they have
become conduits for collection of bribes on behalf of the Officers of the Department and plumb
the system through streamlined speed money. In order to build up the image of the Departments,
it is essential to give up the system of licensed agents and totally prohibit the entry of private
persons inside the offices and in the check posts of the Department.
It has also been brought to the notice of Government that the functions now being
performed by these agents are legally the functions that should be performed by the Department.
Each of the RTA office should have a help desk to assist the public and guide them in filing their
applications and providing services for which they have approached the Department. These
booths should be manned through out the day and should be able to provide requisite application
forms, clarify doubts of the member of public and otherwise assist them in filing a complete
application without the need for a revised application being submitted. These bureaus should also
pass the acknowledgement for the application delivered. It should also possible for the members
of public to collect licences, permits etc., from these very same counters at a specified hour.
Department should make available printed leaflets/booklets providing application forms,
guidelines on the formalities to be completed checkslips ensures correct application etc. A fullfledged bureau or help desk in the matter indicated above would be a boon to the member of
public and would boost the image of the Department. The need for reduction of regulatory
control as an effective means of curbing corruption.
It is therefore, opined that the Transport Commissioner to delegate the function of
permanent registration of private 2 and 4 wheelers to the dealers, who are already authorised to
issue temporary registration of new Vehicles at the time of sale. There may be no legal difficulty
or practical problem of a serious nature in delegating the function of permanent registration itself
to those dealers. Life time tax is collected through those dealers. Lakhs of lower class and
middle class owners of 2 wheelers and 4 wheelers would be relieved of having to approach the
Transport Department for permanent registration of their vehicles. This would be a major step,
which should be widely welcomed and definitely elevate the prestige of Government and
establish its earnestness and simplify the procedures.
The Transport Commissioner is, therefore, requested to send his detailed remarks on the
above issue for taking necessary action.

“In the circumstances, the interim orders given on 19-7-2000 are modified and
the respondents are directed to consider the case of the applicant and the
unofficial respondent to the next higher post, by placing their names in the
D.T.C., keeping in view the fact that the applicant was appointed as R.T.O., on

No.20049/2000 in the High Court of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad. The Hon’ble High Court

separately wherever Government are the competent authority and in case of ministerial
staff, necessary instruction will be given to the concerned appointing authorities duly

* ***
In the G.O. 1st cited, while reviewing the scheme of compassionate appointments
of deceased Government employees who die in harness, the Government have directed that the
proposals for providing compassionate appointments to the dependents of decease Government
employees which are totally in conformity with the existing Government instructions on the
scheme, only should be considered and no cases which are in deviation of the
orders/instructions/guidelines issued in the matter should be proposed for any relaxation what-soever. In the said G.O., the Departments of Secretariat/Heads of Departments/ District Collectors,
etc., have been requested to adhere to the existing instructions and guidelines issued from time to
time on the scheme while considering compassionate appointments to the dependents of the
deceased, Government directed not to entertain the requests for compassionate appointments in
cases which do not conform to the conditions stipulated in the scheme from time to time as no
application for relaxation of any of the conditions stipulated under the scheme is proposed to be
entertained by Government, as a matter of general policy. Further in Government Memo second
cited it has been clarified that the clarifications/instructions/guidelines and concessions issued
from time to time on the scheme are in vogue. Therefore when there is an inbuilt relaxation
incorporated in the rules itself, it will not attract the provisions of G.O. first cited.
2.
Inspite of these instructions, number of instances have come to the notice of the
Government wherein Heads of Departments as well as Departments, of Secretariat are
entertaining applications/ representations in case of compassionate appointments for relaxation of
existing rules on the subject on some ground or other. The matter was again reviewed by the
Government and it is decided to reiterate the instructions issued in the G.O. cited.
3.
Accordingly, while reiterating the instructions issued in the G.O. first cited, all
Departments of Secretariat are requested not to entertain the applications/representations in case
of compassionate appointments for relaxations of existing rules and in future any such proposals
referred to Genl. Admn.(Ser.) Department will not be entertained. All the Departments of
Secretariat are also requested to issue similar instructions to the Heads of the Departments under
their administrative control. A copy of the instructions so issued may be furnished to this
department.

Sub:- P.S.- Quota/Rota rule applicable only for the purpose of recruitment and not for
the purpose of determining inter-se-seniority of the incumbents – Clarificatory
orders issued in G.O.Ms.No.607, G.A.(Ser.A)Dept., dated 8-11-1992 – Challenged

***
The Special Rules and Adhoc rules for certain services provide a ratio or cycle for
recruitment by promotion and by transfer and for direct recruitment which are the three accepted
methods of recruitment. Experience has shown that, recruitment through various methods is not
being done in the prescribed ratio of cycle quota for various reasons. In such situation and in the
exigencies of administration, it has become necessary to induct persons from one source in
endless litigation regulating in vacancies in promotional posts remaining unfilled.
Rule 33 of the Andhra Pradesh State and Subordinate Service Rules regulates the
Seniority of the incumbents appointed to a service, class, category etc. the scope and applicability
of this rule was discussed by the Supreme Court of India to Sri Dasoola Rama Rao and another
Vs. State of Andhra Pradesh, Sri K.Siva Reddy Vs. State of Andhra Pradesh and Sri
M.Gangadharan and other Vs. State of Andhra Pradesh etc.
A study of several judicial pronouncements in this regard shows that various
interpretations have been placed on this quota or quota rule and the preponderance of the view
taken is that the quota or rota Rule is meant only for purposes of recruitment to a particular
category, but not to determine the inter-se-seniority of the incumbents belonging to a particular
category who are appointed to the post included in that category through different methods of
recruitment viz., direct recruitment, promotion and appointment by transfer.
Government have, therefore decided to issue clarificatory order in this regard.
Accordingly as adhoc rule was issued in G.O.Ms.No.607, G.A.(Ser.A) Department, dt.6-11-1992
clarifying that, the quota or rota if any prescribed in the said special rules of adhoc rules shall
apply only for determining the number of vacancies earmarked for recruitment by promotion of
appointment by transfer and for direct recruitment but not for determining their inter-se-seniority,
and that their inter–se-seniority shall be determined in accordance with rule 33 (a) and (b) of the
?State and Subordinate services Rules.
Sri P.Ganeswara Rao and other of Panchayat Raj Department have filed O.A.No.22/93 in
Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal for fixing up their inter-se-seniority and the adhoc rule
issued in G.O.Ms.No.607, G.A.(Ser.A) Department, dt. 6-11-1992 has also been challenged.
Similar other O.S have also been filed before the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal. The
Andhra Pradesh Administrative tribunal in their order dated 24-12-1992 in O.A.No.22/93 have
passed the following interim orders: “As the impugned Adhoc rule is like to have far reaching effect and the G.O.Ms.NO.607,
dt.6.11.1992 does not indicate that the A.P.P.S.C. was consulted or its copy marked for
144
publication in the Gazette and it has not given any retrospective effect. We consider it appropriate
to issue a direction that it will not effect any orders already passed or seniority for the period prior
to the issue of G.O.Ms.No.607, dt.6.11.1992 and in implementation of any orders passed by the
Courts, A.P.A.T. erstwhile tribunal subsequently to be passed by the Authority in respect of
period prior to the issue of adhoc Rules”.
The Andhra Pradesh Administrative tribunal in their another order dt.4-3-1993 in
O.A.1103/93 filed by Sri.V.Naveen Chand and another has directed the Respondents No.1 i.e.,
Chief Secretary, General Administration Department as follows:“It is expected that the respondent No.1 takes steps to either have the interim order varied
or vacates after filing a counter or until so done, intimate all other Departments about the interim
orders of the Tribunal which will apply to all services wherever the impugned G.O., is sought to
be relied upon for taking action.”
Accordingly the above interim order was communicated to all the Departments of
Secretariat under reference 1st cited. Subsequently the APAT., in its part Judgement, dated : 27-41995 in O.A.No.22/93 and batch held that the adhoc rule issued in the G.O referred above is
invalid and accordingly declared it void and quashed the same. Put the other contentions of the
petitioners have not been disposed by the Andhra Pradesh Administration Tribunal.
The Government after examining the above orders of Andhra Pradesh Administration
Tribunal dt. 27.4.1995, carried the matter in appeal to the Supreme Court of India void SPL.(C.)
No.25247-249/95. The apex Court in its interim orders dt: 9-12-1995 stayed the operation of the
Judgement of Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal dt. 27-4-1995 after notices and pending
further orders. This order of the Supreme Court of India has been communicated to all concerned
for further action at their end in Government Memo second cited.

pension papers before 18 months of his retirement.
3. ROLE OF THE HEAD OF THE OFFICE/DEPARTMENT:
The Head of the Office shall send the prescribed application form for pension to the
Government Servant 18 months in advance of the date of retirement with instructions to submit
the forms duly filled in within two months.
4. It is the responsibility of the Head of the Office to prepare the pension papers of an employee
due to retirement from service. The responsibility of the employee is restricted only to
submission of formal application for pension, descriptive rolls, List of family members and
any other declaration certificates necessary.
5. According to para 11 (6) of the said Appendix, the pension papers, have to be forwarded to
the pension issuing authorities viz., Accountant General, Director of Local Fund Audit, as the
case maybe, 6 months in advance to the date of retirement along with the Service Register
together with pension papers and No Due Certificates.
6. Immediately after retirement of a Government Servant the Head of the Office in respect of a
Non – Gazetted Officer, and Head of the Department in respect of of Gazetted officer, shall
send the Last Pay Certificate to Accountant General / Local Fund Authorities as the case may
be. No specific sanction for release of Pensionary benefits after issue of pension verification
report by Accountant General, is necessary.
7. Instructions have been issued in the reference cited with a view to get every recorded
employee pension on the date on which he would have received his salary but for his
retirement.
8. If any delay is anticipated in sanctioning final pension due to unavoidable reasons,
Anticipatory pension shall have to be paid by the Head of the Office to the retiree @ 4/10 th of
the last drawn employment countable for pension, if the Government Employee puts in
33years of qualifying Service, if not proportionately, under rule 51-A of Revised Pension
Rules, 1980. Same is the case of gratuity also as 80% of the amount worked out by the
Department shall be paid as anticipatory gratuity under rule 51(B) of R.P.Rs.1980. This can
be sanctioned even without waiting for the forwarding of pension papers to the Audit
Officers.
146
9. Where Departmental or Judicial Proceedings are pending against any Government Servants,
he shall be sanctioned provisional pension under Rule, 52 of R.P.Rs.1980 by withholding
gratuity. In this cases, the Department will send pension papers to the Accountant General
with such mentioned with a request for only indicating the quantum of pension that would be
admissible and not to release the same till further orders. Pension sanctioning authorities are
competent to sanction provisional pension to the non-Gazetted Officers. It shall be sanctioned
by the Government in the case of Gazetted officers. Necessary clarifications are issued in this
regard vide Cir.Memo.No.37254/361/A2/Pen.I/.98 dated : 4-7-1998 of Finance and Planning
( FW.Pen.I ) Department.
10. Further interest shall be allowed on delayed payment of retirement gratuty. The rate of
interest is 7% p.a. for the period beyond 3 months and upto 1 year and 10% p.a. beyond 1
year after the gratuty becomes due and payable till the end of the month preceding the month
in which the payment is actually made. This interest is allowed on the following conditions:
a. Should be sanctioned by the administrative Department concerned with the concurrence of
finance Department
b. Where disciplinary or judicial proceedings are pending, interest is payable from the date of
conclusion of the proceedings.
c. The delay should be on account of administrative lapse or for reason beyond the control of
the Government Servant concerned.
11. Inspite of viability of liberal provisions for the expeditious, settlement of pensions are stated
above, the delays are taking place in sanction of pension, anticipatory pension, provisional
pension by the pension sanctioning authorities due to not following the procedure prescribed
in the rules. The affected parties are approaching the Courts. In many cases, courts are
directing concerned authorities to pay interest on the pension, Gratuity and other terminal
benefits causing heavy loss to Government. But as stated above interest at the rates specified
in rule 46 of Andhra Pradesh Revised Pension Rules 1980 is payable on the delayed payment
of Gratuity only. A.P.R.P. Rs.1980 do not provide for payment of interest on pension.
12. In the above circumstances, all the pension sanctioning authorities and Head of the Offices
are directed to settle pension cases as per the procedure stated above without giving scope for
payment of interest on pension benefit.
13. Instances have come to the notice of the Government that interest was paid on pension
following the Court orders evidently due to the fact that Pension Sanctioning Authority has
failed to process the pension case as per the guidelines and consequent delay in finalizing the
pension on the date of retirement of a Government Servant.
The matter has been examined and the Government have decided that in all cases where
interest was paid on pension the amount of interest paid shall be recovered from the pension
sanctioning authority.
All the Departments of Secretariat and Heads of Departments are requested to follow the
instructions scrupulously, and settle the pension cases as per the procedure in future.

1996 issued in the G.O. read above, a candidate selected for appointment by direct recruitment
either through the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission or though any other agency, shall
be required by the appointing authority to join in the post for which he has been selected within a
period of 45 (forty five) days taking the date of despatch (by registered post with
acknowledgement due) of the appointment order as crucial date for reckoning the time limit. If

days in both the cases and allow the direct recruit to join within 30 (thirty) days and a promotee
within 15 (fifteen) days positively.

From the Secretary, A.P.P.S.C., Lr.No.1036/RR/2/99, dated: 13- 5- 1999.
***
O R D E R :In the reference first read above an Adhoc Rule was issued as follows:
“Notwithstanding anything contained in the Andhra Pradesh State Subordinate
Service Rules or in the Special Rules or in Adhoc Rules, the Government employees who have
crossed 45 years of age shall be exempted from passing the Departmental tests prescribed in the
Special Rules/Adhoc Rules for the purpose of promotion to the next higher category (i.e.)
promotion/appointment by transfer to a post above the one held by him/her if they could not pass
the same”
In the references second to fourth read above, clarifications were issued on the
applicability of the Adhoc Rules.
The policy of the Government enunciated in the Adhoc rule, is to exempt the employees
from passing of the Departmental tests/special tests, in respect of those who crossed 45 years of
age, for the purpose of promotion/appointment by transfer to the immediate next higher post,
above the one held by the employee if the employee could not pass the same. This concession
was to consider the employee for only one promotion after initial appointment to public service,
taking into consideration the fact that the individual inspite of his or her best efforts to qualify
himself or herself, could not pass the same owing to any personal reasons.
Certain employees have challenged the Adhoc Rule & the clarifications thereon in the
Court of Law. The Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal in its directions in
O.A.No.7612.1998 referred to the Judgement of the High Court of Andhra Pradesh and observed
as follows.
“The petitioners before the High Court in W.P.No.26210/98 also got promotions from the
category of LDCs to the category of Superintendents and the High Court directions that their
cases should be considered for further promotion to the post of Assistant Registrar/ Assistant
Controller/ Administrative Officer. Though the High Court has not specifically considered the
legality of the clarification at Sl.No.5 in Memo No.10922/Ser.C/98, dated : 26-03-1998 when it
was contended that the petitioners in the Writ Petition are not entitled for exemption from passing
Accounts Test as they were promoted earlier as Superintendents even though they did not pass
Accounts Test, the High Court observed as follows:“The argument, that petitioners were promoted to posts of Superintendents
though they did not pass the Accounts Test and are not entitled to promotion to next stage, is also
149
without merit. The promotion to the post of Superintendent was on basis of proceedings dated:
27-12-1989, which confined promotion only to one stage. The petitioners are seeking benefit now
of G.O.Ms.No.165, dated: 22-4-1997. This is independent of proceedings dated: 27-12-1998. The
G.O. does not exclude employee who has received benefit of proceedings of 1989. Hence the
argument cannot be accepted”.
The aforesaid observations show that, even persons who have got promotions earlier in
the service are entitled for getting promotion to one higher post in terms of Adhoc Rule issued in
G.O.Ms.No.165, GAD., dated : 22-4-1997.
Keeping in view of the above observations, it is decided to omit the wording “if they
could not pass the same” occurring in the Adhoc Rule and to recast the Adhoc Rule to the clear
and specific in depicting the policy of the Government. Accordingly, the following notification is
issued.
The Adhoc Rule hereby made shall be deemed to have come into force with effect from
22nd April 1997.
NOTIFICATION
In exercise of the powers conferred by the provision to article 309 of the Constitution of
India and of all Other powers hereunto enabling the Governor of Andhra Pradesh hereby makes
the following Adhoc – Rule namely:
ADHOC RULE
Notwithstanding anything contained in the Andhra Pradesh State and Subordinate Service
Rules or in the Special Rules or in Adhoc Rules, the Government employees who have crossed 45
(forty five) years of age shall be exempted from passing the Departmental tests prescribed in the
special rules or the Adhoc Rules for the purpose of promotion to the next higher category i.e.,
promotion or appointment by him or her, if they could not get even one promotion after their
initial appointment.
Provided that the persons who already got a promotion once where no tests are prescribed
for the higher post, the exemption is not applicable to him or her and he or she is to be considered
for further promotion to next higher category where tests are prescribed. (This Adhoc rule is
applicable from the panel yeas 1997-98).
Provided further that the exemption is applicable in case of Department tests or special
tests only, where they are prescribed as a pre-requisite for promotion and this exemption shall not
be applicable where like technical or academic qualifications are prescribed for promotion to the
next higher category of posts.
Provided also that the exemption shall not be applicable for declaration of probation,
where passing of Department tests or special tests is a pre-condition for declaration of probation.

Dated: 28-7-1999
Sub:-Public Services – Disciplinary cases against Government employees – Departmental
Inquiries – Time schedule to expedite the Inquiries – Orders – Issued.
Ref:- Circular Memo No.35676/Ser.C/98, GA (Ser.C) Department, dated : 1-7-98.
***
In the reference cited, orders were issued fixing a time limit for completion of
departmental enquiries in all simple cases within a period of three months and in complicated
cases within a period of five to six months.
In all Departmental enquiries ordered it has been decided by the Government that under
rule 20 of the Andhra Pradesh Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1991,
the following time limit shall be followed:
1

Fixing date of hearing, inspection of listed documents,
submission of nomination of a defense assistant (if not
already nominated) list of defence documents and,

defense witnesses/ defense documents or examination
of relevancy of documents or witness, procuring the
additional document and submission of Certificates,
confirming inspection of additional documents by
accused Officer or defence assistant
Issue of summons to witnesses, fixing the date of
regular hearing and arrangement for participation of
witnesses in the regular hearing.
Regular hearing on day to day basis

Three (3) months
Three (3) months
Three (3) months
Fifteen (15) days
Fifteen (15) days
Thirty (30) days.
In all departmental enquiries the general norm of six months should be adhered to, except
in rare cases where number of witnesses go up to 30 or 40 in which case the time limit can be
longer.
It is noticed that one of the causes for delay in Departmental enquiries is due to non
production of documents cited by the Charged Officer as a defence document during the course
of enquiry. In order to ensure that the Departmental enquiries are completed in time, the
document asked for by the charged Officer should be produced by its custodian through
Presenting Officer within a time limit fixed by Inquiry Officer failing which adverse note would
be taken against the concerned Officer (custodian of the documents)
154
The other cause for the delay in completion Departmental enquiries within time limit is,
taking unreasonable time by the Disciplinary Authorities or Appellate Authority in disposing the
representation of the charged officer alleging bias against the Inquiry Officer. The disciplinary
Authorities or Appellate Authority should, therefore, decide the representation of the Charged
Officer within fifteen days after receipt of the representation of the charged Officer failing which
an adverse view will be taken against the concerned Authority.
Government reiterates that the Secretaries or Principal Secretaries to Government shall
review the progress of the enquiries ordered in all disciplinary cases and submit a note on the
cases pending beyond the stipulated time to the Chief Secretary to Government and also to the
Chief Minister.
The Departments of Secretariat/Heads of Departments/ District Collectors are requested
to follow the above instructions and also bring to the notice of all concerned for strict compliance.
The receipt of the memo should be acknowledged.

Circular Memo No.706/Spl.B3/99-3
Sub:-
Date: 28-10-99.
Instructions on anonymous/pseudonymous petitions/complaints – Regarding.
Ref:-(1) Procedural Instructions of A.P. Vigilance Commissioner issued in
Lr.No.66/VC.A2/93-3, dt.10-10-1994.
(2) From the Central Vigilance Commissioner, Government of India, New Delhi,
Circular No.3 (v)/99/2, dated: 29-06-1999.
***
The attention of all Departments of Secretariat, all Heads of Departments and all District
Collectors is invited to Para 4(b) and (c) of the Procedural Instructions of the A.P., Vigilance
Commission issued in the reference first cited, which are extracted bellow:(b) Anonymous and pseudonymous complaints:
Normally allegations contained in an anonymous petition ought not to be taken notice of
except in cases where the details given are specific and, therefore, verifiable and the authority that
receives such complaints may make such preliminary examination as may be necessary.
In the case of petitions which are pseudonymous in character and where a specific address has
been given in the complaint it shall be open to the authority which received the petition to address
a communication to the person purporting to be the sender of the petition for further information.
If it transpires that there is no person of the name at the address given, then it may be considered
that the petitioner’s name is a pseudonym and the petition dealt with in the same manner as an
anonymous petition.
(c) A large number of disgruntled and disappointed persons are apt to make serious
allegations against public servants out of malice or frustration. Such people generally do not
reveal their identity and prefer to file anonymous or pseudonymous complaints even against
public servants to known integrity and good repute. Care must, therefore, be exercised in dealing
with such petitions.
2.
The Central Vigilance Commission, Government of India, New Delhi in its Circular
second cited, opined that one of the facts of life in today’s administration is the widespread use of
anonymous and pseudonymous petitions by disgruntled elements to blackmail honest officials.
As per the orders issued by Department of Personnel & Training Government of India, New
Delhi in their letter No.321/4/91-AVD.III dated 29-09-1992, no action should be taken on
anonymous and pseudonymous complaints and should be ignored and only filed. However, there
is a provision available in this order that in case such complaints contain verifiable details, they
may be enquired into, in accordance with existing instructions. It is, however, seen that the
exception provided in this order has become a convenient loophole for blackmailing. The public
servants who receive the anonymous or pseudonymous complaints, generally follow the path of
least resistance order inquiries on these complaints. A peculiar feature of these complaints is that
these are resorted to especially when a public servant’s promotion is due or when an executive is
likely to be considered for interview. If nothing else, the anonymous or pseudonymous petitions
achieve the objective of delaying the promotion if not denying the promotion. These complaints
demoralise many honest public servants.
159
3.
The Central Vigilance Commission, Government of India, New Delhi has therefore,
issued orders in the reference so cited, that no action should at all be taken on any anonymous or
pseudonymous complaints. They must just be filed.
4.
The State Government has considered the orders issued the Central Vigilance
Commission, Government of India, New Delhi in the circular second cited and decided to adopt
the instructions of the Central Vigilance Commission, in respect of anonymous and
pseudonymous petitions or complaints received against cadre and non-cadre officers of the State
Governments.
5.
Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that no action should at all be taken on any anonymous
or pseudonymous petitions or complaints, received against the cadre and non-cadre officers of the
State Government and they must just be filed.

misappropriation cases besides Departmental enquiry – Instructions – Issued .
Ref:-Govt.Memo.No.2261/Ser.C1/79-2, dated 23.10.79.
***
It has been brought to the notice of the Government that, in several cases of
misappropriation, no criminal cases are being launched on the ground that Departmental action
has been initiated in all such cases. But in a majority of cases, even departmental action also is
not being initiated, which is quite irregular.
2.
In all such cases, i.e., wherever a prima facie case of misappropriation of Government
funds by the Government servants is established, police complaint should be lodged with the
concerned Station House Officers by head of office concerned irrespective of the quantum of the
amount that was misappropriated, besides initiating departmental proceedings in accordance with
the A.P.C.S (CC&) Rules, 1991. All H.O. Driving Schools working under the control of School
Education Department shall therefore ensure that instructions are issued to all heads of offices
under their control and action as proposed above, is taken in all misappropriation cases hereafter.

ABSTRACT
PUBLIC SERVICES – A.P.State and Subordinate Service Rules, 1996 – Time to join a post on
appointment otherwise than by direct recruitment – Fixing of time limit – Orders – Issued.
GENERAL ADMN. (SER.D) DEPARTMENT
G.O.Ms.No.430
Dated: 19-12-2000.
Read the following:1. G.O.Ms.No.436, G.A.(Ser.D) Dept., dt.15-10-1996.
2. G.O.Ms.No.193, G.A. (Ser.D) Deptt., dt.26-04-1999.

4. Govt. Lr.No.42310/Ser.D/2000-3, GAD, dt.23-10-2000.
5. From the Secretary, APPSC, Hyderabad, Lr.No.1834/RR/2/2000, dt.30-11-2000.
ORDER :
According to rule 11(b) of the A.P. State and Subordinate Service Rules 1996 a person
appointed to a post, otherwise than by direct recruitment, shall be allowed a joining time of ‘15’
days from the date of receipt of the order of appointment sent to the candidate by registered post
with acknowledgement due or by any other means. Where a person fails to join the new post to
which he is appointed within the said time limit or evades to join the post by proceeding on leave,
he or she shall forfeit his or her right of appointment both for the present and in future for the
post.
2.
Instances have been brought to the Government now and then indicating some or other
reasons for relaxation of rule 11(b) of the said rules for allowing a candidate appointed to a post
otherwise than by direct recruitment, to join the said post even after expiry of the prescribed
period of 15 (fifteen) days and in some cases some appointing authorities themselves resorting to
relax the rules in a routine manner even without justifying the reason for such relaxation. Taking
this as an advantage some of the individuals seems to have chosen to take their own time for
joining the new post by proceeding on leave or resorting to any other means styling as
administrative reasons though many times it is for a suitable posting of choice, it appears there by
causing inconvenience for proper operation of the approved list and thereby resorting to
relaxation of rules for getting retrospective seniority etc., against the intention of prescribing
minimum period to join duty.
3.
The Government have reviewed the position and decided to allow the promotee to join
duty within 15 (fifteen) days period from the date of receipt of the order of appointment sent to
the candidate by registered post with acknowledgement due or by any other means. If he or she
does not join the post within the stipulated period of 15 (fifteen) days or evades to join the post by
proceeding on leave the offer of appointment shall be treated as automatically cancelled and the
name of the candidate shall be deemed to have been omitted from the list of approved candidates,
he shall forfeit his right of appointment both for the present and in future for the post.
4.
All the Heads of Departments/Departments of Secretariat/District Collectors/ District
Judges are requested to bring these instructions to the notice of all the appointing authorities to
follow the scrupulously.
5.
Necessary amendment to rule 11(b) of the Andhra Pradesh State and Subordinate Service
Rules, 1996 will be issued separately.
