The HC held the revocation/penalty proceeding against the petitioner time-barred and quashed, directing that Regulation 17(1) CBLR, 2018 requires initiation within 90 days from receipt of an official offence report; the 2018 Regulations expressly define "offence report," which must emanate from an official source and need not follow any particular format.

Consequently the impugned proceeding was barred by limitation and the writ petition was allowed.
