Dhruv Bhushan Dubey vs State Of U.P. And 3 Others on 25 May, 2018
11. It is not the case of respondents that the nature of charge was such that a regular departmental enquiry immediately was found expedient and for collecting material for initiating regular departmental enquiry, a fact finding enquiry was directed to the subordinate authority. The insistence on enquiry report after conducting preliminary enquiry shows that disciplinary authority itself is not very sure as to whether there is anything against the petitioner, prima facie, justifying regular enquiry and that is how a preliminary enquiry report is desired, though within a short time. This by itself makes it very clear that impugned order, as a matter of fact, is in a contemplated or pending preliminary enquiry and mention of contemplated departmental enquiry in opening part of suspension order is nothing but a camouflage. This by itself would not give any sanctity or better status to the impugned order and cannot protect it from the dictum of law laid down by Full Bench of this Court in Jay Singh Dixit (supra) as also Raj Veer Singh (supra).
