The protection is not exhausted by notice of charges alone, because the enquiry stage and punishment stage are distinct constitutional safeguards. On this basis, the text states that the appellant was denied the full opportunity required before dismissal was imposed. en-us Fri, 13 Dec 1957 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:35:20 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=171576 Article 311(2) requires a government servant facing departmental proceedings to receive a reasonable opportunity at two stages: first, to meet the charges and evidence during the enquiry, and then, after the charges are found proved, to make a further representation against the particular punishment proposed.
