S V Sharma vs Director Of Education & Ors. on 28 August, 2017
19. The decision in K.P. Garg (supra) shows that in the facts of that case,
the charges were framed against the respondent in 1988 and the inquiry
report was submitted on 25.07.1991. The respondent was removed from
service on 07.04.1992. In the meantime, he superannuated. Thus, the
directions issued by this court permitting the DDA to restart the inquiry
came to be issued about 17 years from the date of removal, as opposed to 26
½ years in the present case. Once again, from the said decision, it is not
evident as to how old the respondent was when the said direction was issued
by this court.
