(xi)
Probationer
means a Government servant employed on probation in or against substantive vacancy
in the cadre of a department.
Explanation According to
Audit Instruction (2), below F. R. 9(6), the term "Probationer" does
not cover a Government servant who holds substantively a permanent post in a
cadre and is "on probation" to another post. To differentiate between
a "probationer" and a person "appointed on probation' it has
been explained, that while a 'probationer' is one appointed in or against a
post substantively vacant with definite condition of probation, a person 'on
probation' is one appointed to post (not necessarily vacant substantively), for
determining his fitness for eventual substantive appointment to that post.There
is nothing in these' Audit Instructions to prevent a Government servant
substantive in one cadre (e. g. a First Division Assistant holding a lien on a
post borne on the Central Secretariat Service, Class II) from being appointed
(either through selection by a departmental committee or as a result of
competitive examination through the Federal Public Service Commission) as a
"probationer" in or against a post borne on another cadre (like the
Pakistan Audit and Accounts Service, the Customs Service and the Income Tax
Service, Class I), when definite conditions of probation such as the passing of
departmental examinations are prescribed. In such a case, the Government
servant should be treated as a "probationer" and (subject to specific
rules, if any, to the contrary) allowed only, as initial and subsequent pays,
the rates of pay prescribed for the probationary period, irrespective of
whether those rates are actually included in or shown separately from, the time
scales of the services concerned. The case of departmental candidates of the
same Department promoted by selection (e. g. an S. A. S. Central Service Class III, Superintendent or an A. A. O. of the Pakistan
Audit Department promoted by selection to the Pakistan Audit and Accounts
Service within the quota for such promotion) is, however, different. If the
concerned Ministries/Divisions of the Government of Pakistan consider it
expedient, these "promoted" men may properly be put "on
probation" for a period to sec if they make good in the actual work of a
Class I officer and have liens (active or suspended) retained for them on their
former posts, meanwhile to provide for their possible reversion. But, whatever
the departmental arrangements be to test their capacity etc., during the "on
probation" period, their initial pay should be fixed under the operation
of the normal rules regulating pay fixation.
(xii)
Public Conveyance
means a train, steamer, or other conveyance which plies regularly for the
conveyance of passengers.
