Second Marriage and Rule 21 of CCS Conduct Rules 1964
A Muslim government servant married a second time in 2011 while his first wife was alive and living with him. According to Rule 21 of the CCS Conduct Rules 1964, this is not allowed. However, the rule also states that the government may permit a second marriage if it is satisfied with the circumstances, meaning departmental permission is necessary.
Now, after 11 years, in 2022, a show cause notice has been issued to him for disciplinary action. Before contracting the second marriage, he submitted approximately five request applications to the competent authority for permission. The name of the second wife is also entered in the Service Book.
Violation of Rule 21(2)
Has Rule 21(2) of the CCS Conduct Rules 1964 been violated by the Muslim government servant by marrying a second time during the currency of the first marriage, even though prior applications were submitted to the competent authority seeking permission?
