Departmental Inquiry

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

Usually, during pendency of departmental enquiry, sealed cover process is used for promotion and promotion may be delayed till the departmental enquiry is available. You may have to get the enquiry expedited. If needed, you may approach the high court or the administrative tribunal (if there is any such tribunal in your state, which has jurisdiction in your matter) to get the process of departmental enquiry expedited citing the reason of your impending retirement.

Sir, I much grateful for your kind prompt response. The Enquiry is already completed and the report thereof is duly submitted to the Government. Since the Government is not in position to disagree with the report for want of evidences. As such, it has adopted delaying tactics.
So, kindly suggest me the remedy.

I think this was already mentioned in your main question. As I mentioned earlier, you may have to approach the appropriate court or tribunal for expediting the decision. Otherwise, you may make a representation to the higher authority or Govt for directing the authority to take faster decision, if you feel that they would do justice.

Sir, in a departmental proceeding in police force against an S.I the complainant is not attending the proceeding even after receiving Notice of the I.A. The I.A is insisting the Charged Official to go to the complainant’s house with Defense Assistant to examine and cross examine the Prosecution Witness. How far it is legally correct? Can a quasi judicial authority (Inquiring Officer) insist on going to the house of witness living in the same city to examine.Kindly enlighten.
