Sub: Status of disciplinary case in the event of death of the charged official.

The question whether the disciplinary case initiated against a Railway servant under the Railway Servants (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1968 could be closed in the event of death of the charged official during the pendency of the proceedings, has come up for consideration of this Ministry on quite a few occasions in the recent past. It is clarified that the disciplinary proceedings should be closed immediately on the death of the charged Railway servant.
