The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner was placed under suspension on 27.04.2018 and the period of one year from the date of suspension had expired on 26.04.2019. Hence, the petitioner is entitled for full allowance from 27.04.2019, but the same was not paid to the petitioner. He further submits that the petitioner is also facing the criminal trial at Palakad, Kerala from the disciplinary proceedings. In view of the serious and substantial illegalities in the disciplinary proceedings the petitioner was put to great hardship. Hence, prays to allow this petition. 6. The learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents submitted that the petitioner has not raised any objections due to the conclusion arrived by the Disciplinary Authority, inspite of the fact that the report of the inquiring authority is furnished to him. He further submitted that they are trying to conclude the disciplinary proceedings at the earliest and the petitioner is not co-operating. It is pertinent to note that they have considered the situation of the petitioner, that he is not able to appear in person, hence, they has given liberty to appear him through video conferencing, but the petitioner has not turned up. Hence, prays to dismiss this petition. 7. On a perusal of records it is seen that the petitioner has earlier approached this Court in W.P.No.15016 and 15017 of 2020 for quashing the report of the Inquiry Authority dated 28.08.2020 and the dismissal order passed by the first respondent on 07.10.2020 and this Court allowed the writ petition on 01.08.2024, wherein this Court directed the Disciplinary Authority to consider the objections raised by the petitioner through his representation dated 08.09.2020 against the report of the Inquiring Authority dated 27.08.2020 and then take further steps in accordance with law. The petitioner is also granted liberty to submit any further objections, if any, against the report of the Inquiring Authority, within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The petitioner is also granted liberty to submit any further objections, if any, against the report of the Inquiring Authority, within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In case, if any such objections are submitted by the petitioner within the time stipulated above, the Disciplinary Authority / first respondent shall take into consideration such objections also along with the objection already raised earlier through the representation dated 08.09.2020 and take further steps to conclude the disciplinary proceedings. It is made clear that the Disciplinary Authority while deciding the matter as above, shall not take into consideration nor be influenced by the views that were already expressed by him on 28.08.2020. Pursuant to which the petitioner has submitted his representation and the impugned order came to be passed. 8. Furthermore, on going through the order passed in W.P.No.15016 and 15017 of 2020 on 01.08.2024 this Court has observed as follows: 13. In terms of the settled legal position, it is only on receipt of the objections, if any, or the comments of the delinquent employee on the report of the Inquiring Authority, the Disciplinary Authority is supposed to consider the conclusions arrived at by the Inquiring Authority and the objections, if any, raised by the delinquent employee together and then, arrive at his own conclusion on the charges. 14. But in the instance case, admittedly, the Disciplinary Authority even before the report of the Inquiring Authority is furnished to the delinquent employee, examined the views recorded by the Inquiring Authority in detail and recorded a reasoned views holding that th e charges framed against the petitioner are proved. While furnishing the report of the Inquiring Authority itself, the Disciplinary Authority communicated his views also to the delinquent employee. If the Disciplinary Authority has already arrived at his conclusion on the charges and holding such charges as proved, any amount of opportunity given to the delinquent employee to raise his objections against the report of the Inquiring Authority are of no consequences and the very purpose of furnishing the copy of the report of the Inquiring Authority to the delinquent employee is rendered useless. As already noted above, the right of the delinquent employee to receive a copy of the Inquiring Authority's report and to raise objections about the same is held to be mandatory requirement in concluding the disciplinary proceedings. As already noted above, the right of the delinquent employee to receive a copy of the Inquiring Authority's report and to raise objections about the same is held to be mandatory requirement in concluding the disciplinary proceedings. But in the instant case, though the copy of the report was furnished to the delinquent employee, the same is only reduced to an empty formality. Therefore, the action of the Disciplinary Authority in this regard is liable to be declared as illegal and contrary to the settled legal position. 9. In view of the above, it is made clear that there are some discrepancy in the manner of which the enquiry has been conducted. It is to be noted that the disciplinary authority reviewed the view recorded by the Enquiry Authority in detail and recorded a reasoned opinion concluding that the charges against the petitioner are proven, even before the report of the Enquiry Authority is given to the delinquent employee. 10. Therefore, the order passed by the First Respondent issued, DM HUB(S)/TRI/SMS/2024-25/3140 dated 04.12.2024, DM HUB (S)/TRI/2024-25/3410 dated 30.12.2024 is liable to be quashed and the same is quashed. The respondents are directed to conduct a fresh enquiry on 03.02.2025 and receive the representation of the petitioner, if any and provide the materials required by him. If the petitioner sought for any voluminous documents, he may he permitted to take photo copy of the relevant pages. However, they should conclude the enquiry and pass appropriate orders on or before 28.03.2025. The petitioner is hereby directed to appear before the authorities concerned and co-operate with them to conclude the disciplinary proceedings. 11. With the aforesaid direction, this writ petition is allowed. No order as to costs. Consequently the connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
