Should we entertain government in inquiry after retirement

Honestly, what is the trouble attending the inquiry, providing documents and clarifying the doubts without out suffering tension and agony at this stage.  If you come out successfully, you can even file defamation case and can seek compensation for unnecessary harassment.  When you are invited to establish your credentials, what is the difficulty in attending formal enquiry.  Unless there is a primafacie documentary evidence, and such pressures, generally higher officials themselves do not take action against retirees, as they have their own other tasks to attend during regular duties.

Step into the shoes of the dept official, forgetting that you are retired,  if you are in the same place, and some complainant is harassing you with such complaints and seek inquiring into some aspects, can you ignore such citizens rights and fail in discharging your duty against such offender.

If you want such case studies search in google, no where you can get a way to escape through these case studies, if you have really committed any offence.

You are a teacher, stand as an example and do not go for evading and avoiding technics and prolong simple matter through case studies and citations to attend courts, spending amount, when there is a simple chance coming out clean after inquiry.

Even if you refuse to attend the inquiry, there are many ways to find out truth,  if you have secured such employment with fake certificates, three years from the date of discovering such fraud, they can still initiate civil and criminal actions against you.

As a teacher you may be knowing that there are only two ways to face a situation, either fight for truth, or flight away from truth.  If one is not able to do either, then he suffers internally damaging his own health and happiness.

I completely agree with Mr. Prasad's advice in the instant situation, as the very essence of the complaint can be refuted by producing a copy of the requisite educational certificate before the competent authority.
