Para 13.37 — MSO

13.37 If an order of attachment is received in respect of the pay or allowance of a Defence Service Officer who is for the time being in Civil Employ borne on the effective strength a representation should promptly be made to the Court that the Defence Service Officer continues to be eligible for

Provisional payments exemption from attachment. The attached portion of the pay and allowances should, however, be withheld from the officer until the court’s order on the representation is received. If the Civil Court still holds that its previous order of attachment is correct, a report should be made to the Government of India Ministry of Defence. Where the order of attachment relates to the pay and allowances of a Defence Service Officer not borne on the effective strength, the procedure laid down in this paragraph should be followed. 13.38 The detailed instructions issued by the Comptroller and Auditor General in order to secure efficiency and uniformity in relation to leave procedure in respect of gazetted (and also nongazetted) Government Servants are contained in Appendix A. Some of these instructions have already been indicated in Paras 13.34 and 13.36.
