serving. Where a Government servant’s jurisdiction falls within
more than one Revenue district, he may be required to appear before
the District Medical Officer of such district as may be departmentally
convenient. If, in special cases, this procedure has necessarily
to be departed from, the reasons therefor should be recorded
in writing and communicated to the Commissioned Medical Officer
who is asked to examine the applicant.
10. Invaliding medical certificates under this article should be given by
Medical Officers registered under Medical Registration Act and if any
doubt arises in a particular case, it should be referred to the Director
of Medical Services for decision or countersignature.
11. The Medical Superintendent, Union Mission Tuberculosis Sanatorium,
Madanapalle, is deemed to be a Civil Surgeon for granting
invaliding certificates to Government servants under his treatment
for tuberculosis provided that he is registered under the Medical
Registration Act. The invaliding certificates should be counter
signed by the Director of Medical Services.
12. The disease from which an applicant is suffering is curable by an
operation, but this, he refuses to undergo and is therefore invalided.
In these circumstances no pension or gratuity is admissible. The
Government consider that each case of invalidation on account of
a curable disease should be decided on its merits. The A.G. is requested
to forward such cases for the orders of Government.
Article 443 :- (a) A succinct statement of the medical case, and of the
treatment adopted, should, if possible, be appended.
(b) If the Examining Medical Officer, although unable to discover any
specific disease in the officer, considers him incapacitated for further service
by general debility while still under the age of fifty-five years, he should give
detailed reasons for his opinion, and, if possible a second medical opinion
should always, in such a case be obtained.
(c) In a case of this kind special explanation will be expected from the
head of the office or department, of the grounds on which it is proposed to
invalid the officer.
