The order was issued by the general administration department's (GAD) Under Secretary Shaila Bhosle of Tuesday via an 'office memorandum' addressed to heads of all departments in the Secretariat.
It specifically cites service Rule-56 (j) which empowers "appropriate authority" to take the action to prematurely retire a public servant.

Punctuality, lethargy at the work place and disobedience were some of the criteria under which the action under Rule 56 (j) is being contemplated.
