https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=759161 SC held that sealed cover procedure in DPC cannot be adopted merely upon grant of prosecution sanction. Disciplinary/criminal proceedings are initiated only when charge memo is issued in disciplinary proceedings or charge-sheet filed in court. Investigation pendency and prosecution sanction grant are insufficient for sealed cover procedure. Since charge-sheet was filed after DPC meeting where sealed cover procedure was adopted, the procedure was unjustified and unsustainable. Government servant was assessed fit for promotion, and consequential steps must follow. Appeal dismissed. en-us Tue, 24 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 26 Sep 2024 08:15:35 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=759161 SC held that sealed cover procedure in DPC cannot be adopted merely upon grant of prosecution sanction.
