A Muslim government servant has married a second time in the year 2011 while the first wife is alive and living with him.

As per Rule 21 of CCS Conduct Rules 1964, it is not allowed. However, it further states that the government may permit it if it is satisfied that he can be allowed for a second marriage. That means permission from the department is necessary.

Now, after a period of 11 years in 2022, a show cause notice has been issued to him for disciplinary action against him.

Before contracting a second marriage, he had submitted around five request applications to the competent authority for permission. The name of the second wife is also entered in the Service Book.

Whether Rule 21(2) of CCS Conduct Rules 1964 has been violated by that Muslim government servant by marrying a second time during the currency of the first marriage, even though prior applications were given to the competent authority seeking permission.
