JOINT SECRETARY WHO MISHANDLED REPORT IS PARDONED

HAMID ANSARI CHAIRMAN RAJYA SABHA PARDONS
JOINT SECRETARY WHO MISHANDLED 
THE CIVIL LIABILITY FOR NECLEAR DAMANGE BILL 2010

By Delhi Bureau 

Hamid Ansari Chairman, Rajya Sabha after receiving the report from the secretary-general, 
rajya sabha who inquired into the mishandling of the standing committee report on the 
civil liability for nuclear damage bill, 2010 with stapled pages and addtion of a word '&' and
the other word "intent" passed order which is reproduced below.
 
 
"The clarification rendered by the Joint Secretary on this matter is not very satisfactory.  Even a telephonic intimation to the Secretary-General seeking advice would have avoided such a procedural lapse.  It is expected that senior officials of such rank should exert better acumen and judgment on such occasions.  I trust such lapses would not occur in future.

          In this context, it would be desirable that Chairpersons of Committees should invariably follow up their verbal instructions of such nature in writing to the staff so that there is no room for any misgivings as in the instant case.  This would obviate any criticism on the functioning of the Secretariat."
