Under this section, unless there is anything inconsistent with the acts, rules or orders, the law for the time being applicable to an industrial concern would apply to the Corporation as well. It is not stated that the regulations framed under Section 43 of the Act in relation to the duties and conduct, the conditions of service of officers and other employees of the Corporation are in any way in derogation of any other law for the time being applicable to an industrial concern. In fact, the Corporation is deemed to be a bank for certain purposes, and deemed to be a company for tax purposes. These statutory features which govern the affairs of the Corporation by themselves create a reasonable impression that the Board, which is the organ or functionary of the Corporation, exercises very responsible functions as an administrative body. In disciplinary proceedings certain regulations are framed by the Board which govern the procedure to be adopted in such inquiries. In the instant case, several charges of misconduct were enquired into by the inquiry officer. He had examined 9 witnesses, scrutinized 69 exhibits, and ultimately he gave a report consisting of about 180 pages of typed matter. The enquiry occupied the time between November, 1967 and January, 1968. I have only referred to this to show the magnum of the nature of the enquiry conducted by the enquiry officer with all serenity. This report of the enquiry officer was scrutinized by the appointing authority namely, the Chairman, who once again sifted the evidence and passed an order accepting the enquiry officer's report and findings and dismissing the petitioner from the service of the Corporation in terms of the Staff Regulations. He finds that the acts of misconduct for which the petitioner is held guilty reflects seriously on his integrity and honesty as well as loyalty to the institution and that the petitioner proved himself unworthy of holding a responsible position in the Corporation and deserves exemplary punishment.
