On that construction, a charge-sheet dated before retirement is treated as initiating proceedings before retirement, so the four-year bar in Rule 27(2)(b)(ii) does not apply. The challenge to the charge-sheets therefore failed, and the writ petitions were liable to be dismissed. en-us Thu, 25 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 25 Jun 2025 15:22:30 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=462497 Departmental proceedings against a retired Government servant are deemed instituted under Rule 27(6)(a) of the Maharashtra Civil Services (Pension) Rules when the charge-sheet is issued and despatched, not when it is actually served.
