According to an official order issued on March 12, the department decided to initiate disciplinary proceedings under Rule 7 of the Haryana Civil Services (Punishment and Appeal) Rules, 2016 against the naib tehsildar.

Officials said the suspensions were ordered with immediate effect as a precautionary measure while the matter was investigated further. Sources in the revenue department said the irregularities came to light in different tehsils of the district. While the exact nature of the anomalies was not yet officially detailed, officials indicated that the govt treated the matter “seriously”.The action had an immediate impact on the functioning of tehsil offices. Following the suspension of the registry clerks, work related to property registrations and other documentation was disrupted in the Wazirabad, Kadipur and Badshahpur tehsils on Friday morning. Several people who came to complete registry formalities faced delays as staff availability became limited.Local sources said routine operations in the registry branches were affected for several hours, though officials were attempting to make alternate arrangements to restore services.Revenue department officials said the govt was committed to ensuring transparency and accountability in the functioning of tehsil offices, particularly in registry-related work, which directly affected property transactions and public dealings.
