Commission, after examining the disciplinary case, in the light of the records made available, felt that the offence was committed by some one else and the punishment proposed is too high and recommended that the charges may be dropped as he has retired. (Vide its letter dated 19/01/2005) However, Government have issued final orders vide G.O.Rt.No. 940, Home (Ser.I(2) Department dated 28/06/2005 to impose the punishment of a cut of 5% in the pension of Sri SK.Abdul Khadar, A.O.(Rtd.) for a period of 3 years, in deviation of Commissions advice. A proposal was sent to the Commission in the year 2003, to impose the punishment of dismissal from service on Sri C. Madhu Babu Forest Section Officer on the charge of misappropriation of Government funds. Commission, after examining the disciplinary case, in the light of the records made available, advised that a punishment of reduction of time scale of pay by two stages with cumulative effect will meet the ends of justice. Basing on the advice of the Commission, Government have addressed a letter to the Commission dated 2/6/2004 to reconsider its opinion. Commission after re-examining the case have reiterated its decision vide letter dated 12/8/2004. However, Government have issued final orders, vide G.O.Ms.No. 27 of Environment Forests, Science & Technology (For.IV) Department dated 17/3/2005, to impose the punishment of dismissal from service on Sri C. Madhu Babu Forest Section Officer. Government in Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Department, have forwarded a proposal to the Commission, seeking concurrence to impose punishment of 7.5% cut in pension of Sri Y. Bala Bhadra Raju, former Executive Officer, Gram Panchayat, Vanapalli, East Godavari District, vide letter No. 29924/VS.II/A2/2002-03, dated 18/02/2003. Commission accorded concurrence to the Governments proposal and also suggested that the suspension period of the Delinquent Officer be regulated as leave to which he was eligible, vide Lr.No. 363/RT-I/3/2003, dated 5/3/2003. On 8/10/2004, however, Government issued on order (No. 1557) to the effect that after careful consideration of the Report of the Enquiry Officer, explanation submitted by the Charged Officer and on the proposal of the Commissioner, P.R. & R.E, Government have taken a lenient view and decided to drop further action against Sri Y. Bala Bhadra Raju, E.O., G.P.(Rtd.). Accordingly, Government dropped further action against Sri Y. Bala Bhadra Raju and ordered that full pensionary benefits be released to him. Government in Health, Medical and Family Welfare Department have forwarded a proposal seeking to impose a cut of 30% in the pension of Dr. I.V. Prahlada Rao, Principal (Rtd.) Dr. N.R.S.Government Ayurvedic College, Vijayawada for a period of 5 years as punishment for giving false date of birth. Commission, after examining the proposal, opined that as the delinquent Officer had retired from service nearly four years ago, a cut of 10% in the pension for a period of 5 years would be reasonable. The advice was conveyed to Government, vide Commissions Lr.No. 111/RT-I/3/2004, dated 16/03/2004. Government have, however, issued orders vide G.O.Rt.No.1000, Health, Medical and Family Welfare Department dated 16/11/2004 imposing punishment of 30% cut in pension for a period of 5 years on Dr. I.V.Prahlada Rao, Principal (Rtd.)
