(1.) HEARD learned counsel for the petitioner.
(2.) IN view of the gravity of charges, departmental enquiry was initiated against the petitioner u/rule 16 of CCA Rules by imposing the punishment of stoppage of two grade increments with cumulative effect.
(3.) ANOTHER argument which has been advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner while challenging the impugned charge sheet dated 13. 1. 97 (Ann. 5) is that earlier also the petitioner was charge sheeted by the department and enquiry was initiated against him under Rule 16 of the CCA Rules wayback as on 20. 06. 1997. Thereafter, on the basis of same charges, no punishment was imposed on the petitioner as he had participated in the enquiry.
