The Court held that "communication" means transmission or imparting of information, and once the order is sent to the employee's official address it is beyond the authority's control. Actual receipt was not required, because otherwise a delinquent employee could evade disciplinary action by avoiding service or delaying delivery. The suspension order was therefore effective before retirement, and the disciplinary proceedings were not invalid merely because the order was received later. en-us Mon, 06 Oct 1969 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 14:32:03 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=172236 An order of suspension communicated to a Government servant takes effect when it is issued and despatched, not only on actual receipt.
