2022 (10) TMI 509 - GUJARAT HIGH COURTTermination of petitioner form services - Action against the Junior clerk with the Sales Tax Department - bogus billing being carried out by the main accused one Nilesh Mali - violation of principles of natural justice - HELD THAT:- Apparently perusal of the inquiry officer’s report would indicate that it is a mere reproduction of reply and response of the Presenting Officer and on that basis holding the charges as proved. This is in violation of the principles of natural justice and the rules in question. Obviously apparent it is that the inquiry officer and the disciplinary authorities have rushed through the proceedings in a slipshod manner throwing the rule book to the winds merely to comply with the time limit in the order dated 30.11.2021 in the petition filed earlier. The order dated 30.03.2022 is hereby quashed and set aside. The respondents are directed to reinstate the petitioner in service with all consequential benefits as if the order dated 30.03.2022 was never passed - Petition allowed.
