https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=243132 A writ challenge to a show cause notice issued under Rule 19 of the CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965 was treated as premature because the disciplinary process had not reached finality and the enquiry officer's report was still pending before the disciplinary authority. Rule 19 permits a special procedure where a criminal conviction, including for corruption offences, can justify action without the regular enquiry under Rules 14 and 18.
