It may also be ensured that the Check List is countersigned by an officer, not below the level of Joint Secretary of the administrative Ministry/ Department concerned. Further, it may be noted that this Department shall not be responsible for any legal issues arising out of the delay in processing or not processing of the matter that is not received through the proper channel.
