State Of Assam & Anr vs J. N. Roy Biswas on 6 October, 1975
32. In the aforesaid judgment, the submission of learned counsel for the petitioner was that no vigilance enquiry should be conducted on the subject on which an enquiry has already been held. However, the submission of the respondents before the Division Bench was that the employer has right to hold an enquiry and the order holding that to say enquiry by the Vigilance Establishment is justified. The Division Bench has categorically observed that in view of the decision of Hon'ble Apex Court in re: State of Assam and another vs. J.N. Roy Biswas AIR 1975 SC 2277, the enquiry having come to its logical ends by either resulted into the punishment of the employee concerned or exoneration, the matter should come to an end unless there is some fresh or new material no enquiry should be held because ultimately that will affect the functioning of the government servant and efficiency in performing the government work.
