Headnote | Government Servant - Suspension, enquiry and demotion- Reasonable Opportunity what is- Contents of second notice when Government accepts, rejects or partly accepts or part!y rejects the findings of Enquiry Officer -Necessity of stating conclusions of Government in notice-Function of Enquiry Officer- Constitution of India, Art. 311 (2). The respondent was an Extra Assistant Commissioner. He was charge-sheeted and he submitted an elaborate explanation in respect of. all the charges. The enquiry was held by the Commissioner and a report submitted by him. After giving his findings, the Commissioner added that the lapses proved did not cast any serious doubt on the honesty and integrity of the respondent and hence the withholding of three increments from his pay would meet the ends of justice. The appellant served a second notice on the respondent and the latter was asked to submit his explanation why penalty of removal from service should not be imposed upon him. The respondent submitted an explanation and the Governor of Assam, after considering the explanation, ordered his demotion. That order was challenged by the respondent by a writ petition filed in the High Court. The writ petition was allowed by the High Court and a writ of mandamus was issued ·directing the appellant not to give effect to the order of demotion. The High Court held that the second notice did not clearly indicate that the Government had accepted the findings of Enquiry Officer and as such a statement was not made in the notice, the respondent could not have known on what grounds the Government had provisionally decided to impose upon him the penalty of removal from service. It was also held that the notice must show that the dismissing authority had applied its mind to the findings of the EnquiryOfficer and had accepted the said findings against the respondent. The notice should expressly state the conclusions of the dismissing authority because unless those conclusions were communicated to the respondent, he was not in a position to make an adequate or effective representation. The dismissing authority must also indicate the reasons on which it had come to those conclusions. As the impugned notice did not contain a specific averment that the dismissing authority had accepted the findings of the Enquiry Officer and otherwise gave no grounds or reasons for the action proposed to be taken against the respondent, it contravened the provisions of Art. 311 (2).The appellant came to this Court by special leave. |
