He was put under suspension in contemplation of the departmental enquiry. Subsequently, vide memo no. 308 dated 28.01.2000, the petitioner was served with charges that a unanimous complaint was received wherein it was alleged that the petitioner's School Education Certificate submitted by him was false and he illegally obtained the said Certificate though he did not even study in the School mentioned in the said Certificate. This allegation was inquired into through one Sub Inspector Ramadhar Singh who reported that the petitioner did not study in the said School and the Certificate was not issued from that School. The petitioner was asked to file a written explanation.
