The President of India has amended the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965, through the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Second Amendment Rules, 1967. This amendment introduces a new sub-rule allowing government servants to appeal to the President against penalties specified in rule 11, specifically when no other appeal process exists and the penalty relates to their activities as office-bearers of associations, federations, or unions participating in the Joint Consultation and Compulsory Arbitration Scheme. This ensures a pathway for appeal for government employees involved in union activities.
