Govt seeks report on orders issued sans Cabinet approval

SRINAGAR: Taking note of the orders issued by various departments without approval of the erstwhile Cabinet- now the State Administrative Council or the concurrence of the Finance Department, the state government today sought details of all recent orders issued by departments at their own level
.
"It has been brought to the notice of the government that certain departments/HoDs (heads of departments) have in the recent past issued orders at their own level without approval of the Cabinet or the concurrence of the Finance Department wherever it was required. There is a need to examine such erroneous orders for their regularisation," an order issued by the General Administration Department (GAD) said.

The order said all administrative secretaries were requested to bring to the notice of the GAD by 11:00 am on Monday, the July 23, all such orders which need to be regularised.

"If, later on, it emanates that details of any order issued erroneously have not been brought to the notice of GAD, the administrative secretary concerned will be personally responsible for such action," the order said.
