Sir, I am M. Manoj Kumar worked as 'Accounts Unit Officer' (ie Assistant cadre) doing works related GeM tenders etc. in South Zone Cultural Centre (SZCC), an autonomous organization under Ministry of culture, GoI since 2011.
I was suspended by my employer on 6th Nov.2023, only after getting Interim Stay from Madurai Bench of Madras High court on 3rd Nov. 2023 by me against the employer's irregular order issued in my higher study issue in SZCC during 2021. So, this dismissal action showed clearly as retaliation by my employer. Even, he has not conduct any prelemenery enquiry before placed me under suspension.
After completion of 45 days, the employer issued charge sheet (7 Articles) without annexing any substantial evedences/ documents which connected with all grave charges framed against me, they charged that "more of my transactions as falty and favoured work contract to my family members, so it is against the CCS (CCA) rules", but, these transaction was done several years back adoped with due Govt procedure, and got approval on each transaction from my higher officers like AAO, AO, Auditor and Directors.
Fact is, I am bottom level staff, my duty is submission of note file for getting approval from the Director of Szcc, Unfortunate I singled out as scapegoat. The DA never enquired any of my higher official whi cleared/ approved files.
The Director cum Disciplinary authority always denied to provide documents related the article of charges even getting 3 directions from the Madurai bench of Madras high court. I lost one year for these struggling for getting documents / evedences from my employer.
Finaly, the DA give some unwanted documents not related with charges directly and ditected me to attent the enquiry, so i approach again High Court for getting documents from DA, the Court also given direction to inspect the documents. But the DA and EO not showned the relevant documents inintentionally andvdraged my case. I requested the EO, but not responded. So, my laywer advised me to attend the full enquiry.
After completion of enquiry, the DA put me under 'Dissmisal' on 23rd Dec. 2024 with out having any substantial evedences against me, and not consider my reply in detail, the EO has biased entire enquiry proceedings, he supported to the DA daringly, no douby.
Furthe, the DA has recommended my case to CBI for further criminal investigation without having any evedences against me like conviction, FIR, severe penalty etc. (but the CBI not registered any case against me as of today). I got best remarks in my previous APAR's. I never get any punishment relating any financial misconduct in my service earlier. I have good service regards.
I appealed to the Appellate authority ( ie Joint Secretary, MoC, GoI) on 27.12.2024. Based on the time limit given to the AA by Madras high court, the AA not consedered my appeal and REJECTED on my appeal on 15.04.2025 with out mentioned any valid reasons.
What can i do now, please give remedial suggestion on my livelyhood issue pl.
M. Manoj Kumar, Thanjavur TN,
