Case Law Details
Anish Gupta Vs Union of India (Delhi High Court)
More than adequate opportunities to complete the disciplinary proceedings arising from Departmental Charge Sheet dated 16.07.2015 had been granted by the CAT firstly in 2016, and then again in 2020. Extension rightly not granted
Facts-
The petitioner was served with a Departmental Charge Sheet/ Memorandum of Charge dated 16.07.2015, pursuant to an incident of July, 2013. Admittedly, no criminal investigation or prosecution was ever initiated or contemplated against him.
The Petitioner moved before CAT praying for quashing the Charge Sheet. CAT granted the Union of India (respondent) four months time to complete the Disciplinary Proceedings arising from the subject Charge Sheet. Since, the Union of India did not comply with the aforesaid directions, the Petitioner again moved CAT seeking closure of the said Charge Sheet. The Union of India admittedly did not file any application for extension of time.
