Respected sir(s), One senior govt.officer(mr. X)was assigned the additional charges of IO as a Deputy Secretary(finance) of "Y" Deptt. by the disciplinary authority of a Psu under "Z"ministry and later on suspended the enquiry proceedings(after accepting the representation of the CO) without fixing the next date of DP n.about 18months back. In the mean time mr."X" retd from service and was immediately re_employed on contract basis as an advisor in another concern under the admn control of same "Y" Deptt.and "Z" Ministry.Recently mr"X" as an advisor had issued one notice to the CO(using the letter head of the new concern) fixing the next date of suspended DP without forwarding any communication/authorisation of the Disciplinary authority(ie,any appointment letter in favour of mr."X" when he is no more deputy secretary(finance) but retd and now re-employed).CO requested for the same and then asked for the xerox copy of the concerned office file where mr."X" was authorised to conduct the DP after his retirement-------after a long period, the request was turned down.Now can we admit the action of Disciplinary authority and the former Deputy Secretary(as claimed IO) ? If not,what would be the future course of action from the part of CO ? (Mr."X" is now ready to re-open the DP by the next week).........with kind regards
