This Government Resolution establishes a Suspension Review Committee at the departmental (administrative) level to review the suspension of Group-A and Group-B gazetted officers in the Maharashtra State Excise Department. The committee is constituted following prior GRs from the General Administration Department (14 October 2011 and 31 January 2015), which mandated that each administrative department form its own Suspension Review Committee under the chairmanship of its departmental secretary, rather than relying solely on the Chief Secretary-level committee. This GR implements that directive for the Excise Department and defines the committee's composition, jurisdiction, and procedural mandate.
The Suspension Review Committee for the Maharashtra State Excise Department is constituted as follows:
Chairperson: अपर मुख्य सचिव/प्रधान सचिव/सचिव (राउशु) [Additional Chief Secretary / Principal Secretary / Secretary (State Excise)] — Chairperson (अध्यक्ष)
Member: अतिरिक्त पोलीस महासंचालक, लाचलुचपत प्रतिबंधक विभाग [Additional Director General of Police, Anti-Corruption Bureau] — Member (सदस्य)
Member: उपसचिव/सहसचिव (पोल-2), गृह विभाग [Under Secretary / Joint Secretary (Police-2), Home Department] — Member (सदस्य)
Member-Secretary: उपसचिव/सहसचिव (राउशु), गृह विभाग [Under Secretary / Joint Secretary (State Excise), Home Department] — Member-Secretary (सदस्य सचिव)
The committee shall review cases of suspended gazetted officers in the Maharashtra State Excise Department in accordance with the procedures laid out in Section-5 (पवरच्छेद-5) of the General Administration Department GR dated 31 January 2015.
The committee shall submit its recommendations to the authority competent to suspend or recall the suspension of gazetted officers (i.e., the competent suspending authority).
The committee shall undertake a thorough examination of cases relating to:
Charge-sheet approval cases received from the Anti-Corruption Bureau (एंटी-करप्शन ब्यूरो)
Pending charge-sheet approval cases that have been pending for more than 90 days (90 दिवसापेक्षा जास्त कालावधीसाठी प्रलंवित)
