recruitment may be made on the condition that within the prescribed probationary
period the candidate selected should pass an examination in Oriya equivalent to
the M.E. Standard:
Provided that the language
qualification shall not be insisted upon if so desired by Government in specific
cases:
(iii)
In certain technical posts, which require special
qualifications, Government may relax the condition of language qualification
entirely. This will have particular reference to contract posts or temporary
posts.

SUBJECT:- Clarification regarding sanction
of second increment of an officer after passing Oriya Language test.
In G.A. Department Resolution No. 21388/Gen., dated the
12th September 1984 it was laid down that for
all posts with entry qualification of Matriculation and above, a pass in Oriya
language test equivalent to M.E. standard should be an essential pre-requisite.
No second increment of an officer who has failed to have a qualification of
Oriya language test equivalent to M.E. standard should be sanctioned until the
said incrumbent pases the aforesaid qualification. Doubts have been arisen as to
whether the second increment of an incrumbent which was held up disallowed due
to non-passing the Oriya language test would be sanctioned from the date of
passing the said test or from the actual date of its accrual.
2. In the above circumstance,
the undersigned is directed to clarify that in cases prior to 12th September 1984 where the second and subsequent
increment of an incumbent which was held up / disallowed due to the aforesaid
reason may be sanctioned from the date of passing the said test. Delay, if any
caused for passing the language test shall not have the effect of postponing the
increments cumulatively, but arrear incremental dues shall not be allowed.
Further, it is clarified that the subsequent increments shall fall due on the
next anniversary date of appointment. This disposes of the letter No.574, dated
the 5th May 1988 of the I.G.R.-cum-Excise
Commissioner, Cuttack.

SUBJECT- Verification of the
character and antecedents of candidates before appointment to Government
service.
A detailed procedure for
verification of character and antecedents of Government servants before
appointment has been laid down in erstwhile Political and Services Department
Memo No. 11852 / Gen., dated the 14th September
1957 read with their Memo No. 17139(78)/Gen., dated the 2nd December 1958 and G.A. Department Memo No. 24197,
dated the 25th October 1984. It has been
indicated therein that detailed verification of character and antecedents is
necessary in the following eases:-

Appointment to Class-I (Group-A) and Class II (Group-B)
posts under the State Government

Appointment to Ministerial posts in State Secretariat and
its attached offices and Heads of Departments.
(iii)
Appointment to Class-III (Group-C) and Class-IV (Group-D)
posts where such verification is considered particularly necessary in the
interest of security and

certificates.

production of two character certificates from two Gazetted (Group-A and
Group-B)officers.
3. It has been
brought to the notice of the Government that delay in issue of appointment
orders to the candidates selected by Orissa Public Service Commission/Orissa,
Staff Selection Commission / Selection Committee / Selection Board takes Place
invariably due to non-receipt of reports of verification of the character and
antecedents of such candidates in time. This causes dislocation in transacting
official business in different Government offices.

appointing authority may issue temporary appointment orders to the candidates in
