Para 20.27 — MSO (A&E)
Original Rule Text
20.27 When an objection once raised has been withdrawn, either on reconsideration or in the light of information which was not available previously, the disbursing officer or other authority to whom the objection was originally addressed should be informed forthwith, as otherwise, he remains responsible unnecessary for the removal of the objection, unaware of the fact of its withdrawal.
# MONEY VALUES OF OBJECTIONS
What This Means
When an objection that was previously raised is later withdrawn — either because the AG reconsidered it or new information came to light — the disbursing officer or authority who received the original objection must be informed immediately. Without this notification, the officer would remain unnecessarily responsible for resolving an objection that no longer exists.

Practical Example
The AG (A&E) raised an objection against the District Collector's office for apparent excess expenditure under a scheme. A week later, the AG discovers that a supplementary grant had been sanctioned that fully covered the expenditure. The AG immediately writes to the District Collector withdrawing the objection, so the Collector's staff does not waste time preparing a reply to a no-longer-valid objection.
