Respondents ----------- 2. 23/06/2011 From the records, it appears that enquiry report was submitted by the enquiry officer not finding the petitioner guilty of the charges. However, the disciplinary authority has passed orders of punishment. It is not disputed that before passing the order of punishment no second show cause notice was issued to the petitioner by the Disciplinary Authority with a copy of the report mentioning about the grounds of his disagreement with the findings of the enquiry officer. It is also not disputed that the punishment order is also not a speaking order. In the circumstances, on account of 2 apparent infraction of Principles of Natural Justice, punishment order, as contained in Annexure-7 is quashed. Petitioner shall be entitled to consequential benefits accordingly. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh,J.)
