Too long a story; no definite suggestion is possible unless the materials are perused and issues discussed. Moreover, there appears to be more than one charge-memo and disciplinary proceedings. Each one of them, may be interrelated, needs to dealt on their own merits.
Any issue as to harassment or hardships could be taken up only after the proceedings are taken to their logical conclusion and the charges are proved to be misconceived.
Were the proceedings conducted under the provisions of CCS(CCA) Rules, 1965?

Punishment awarded, but did you make appeal to the Appellate Authority? What was the result. You need to complete the deparental procedures before knocking the doors of the judiciary.
