CHENNAI: Censuring the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) for practicing the colonial orderly system, which was claimed to have been abolished in 2008, the Madras HC has directed the central government to ensure thatthe practice is discontinued immediately.
"The salary payable to the government employee, who was made to serve as orderly should be recovered from the officer concerned immediately by following the procedures. Recovery of salary must be in addition to the departmental action," Justice S M Subramaniam said.
The court passed the order on a plea moved by M Muthu, a CRPF constable who was allegedly dismissed for refusing to perform orderly duty.
Revoking the dismissal, the HC said, "Trained uniformed personnel, at no circumstances, shall be utilised to perform menial jobs in the residences of the higher authorities or to do their personal works."
