Union Of India & Ors vs B.V.Gopinath on 5 September, 2013

In the judgment of the Apex Court in the case of B.V. Gopinath (Supra) relied upon by the learned Senior counsel for the petitioner, the Hon'ble Supreme Court have been pleased to hold that the Disciplinary Authority alone is required to exercise the power of initiation of Departmental Proceeding as also approval of the charge memo. This power could not be delegated as it would be against the established maxim Delegatus non potest delegare. After referring to Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965 which were in contention in the said case, the Hon'ble Supreme Court found that though the decision to initiate Departmental Proceeding was taken by the competent authority i.e. Finance Minister, but the charge memo was not approved by the Finance Minister. In such circumstances, the Hon'ble Court was pleased to hold that the requirement of rules and the settled principles of law that the Disciplinary Authority alone has the power to take a decision both in matters of initiation of Departmental Proceeding and approval of charge memo, has not been followed. Paragraph-41, 46 and 50 of the report is quoted hereunder for better appreciation.
