Suspension is not a punishment, and any employee can be suspended immediately if the disciplinary authority believes that there is valid evidence and the employee's role in a serious irregularity and doubt that he may interfere , impede, influence in further investigation. However, without giving a charge sheeting, conducting inquiry, and hearing of errant employee, dismissal is not legally valid and is against principles of natural justice. The authority is bound to provide all those facts, and documents basing on which such charges were framed, the employee can also seek any record for inspection and as certified copies as an affected party.
