The Assam Cabinet has approved an amendment to the Assam Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1964, making it a ground for dismissal if a government employee contracts another marriage while their existing marriage remains legally valid.
The amendment inserts a new Clause (ii) under Rule 9(10), prescribing dismissal under Rule 7(vii). Such dismissal ordinarily disqualifies the employee from future government employment, reinforcing service discipline and conduct standards.
