In the case of A.L. Kalra vs. Project & Equipment Corporation of India Ltd. (1984) 3 SCC 316, the law as set out by the Supreme Court, which still holds the field, is that an employee, before an inquiry is initiated must know the allegations of misconduct and the intent and purport of a charge-sheet is to enable him to know the charges and defend them. Issuance of charge-sheet is not a penalty but a procedural step in the course of a Domestic Inquiry. Charge-sheet, if as held by the Supreme Court, is in the nature of a notice to a party.

Krishna Chandra Tandon vs The Union Of India (Uoi) on 24 April, 1974

47. Examining the issue on the anvil of the aforesaid judgments, in my view, the argument of the Petitioner that Terms of Reference cannot be the basis of the inquiry, in the absence of a conventional Charge-sheet, cannot be sustained. I have also carefully perused the Terms of Reference, which contained 18 allegations against the Petitioner and a bare perusal of the same leads me to conclude that the terms clearly, unequivocally and unambiguously conveyed the allegations leveled W.P. (C) 4031/2020 Page 44 of 75 against the Petitioner to enable him to effectively defend him. As held by the Supreme Court, the purpose of a charge-sheet is two-fold, viz. to communicate to the Delinquent Officer the nature of allegations and to enable him to effectively defend the allegations as also to contest if the allegations amount to a misconduct in terms of the Service Rules and keeping in background the nature of duties, obligations that are required to be undertaken with respect to the post occupied by the officer. The Terms of Reference fulfill all the required parameters of a Charge-sheet, albeit, it may not be termed as 'charge-sheet' or 'Charge Memo' in the conventional sense. Supreme Court in Krishna Chandra Tandon vs. the Union of India, (1974) 4 SCC 374, observed that there is no magic in the word 'charge-sheet'. The Terms of Reference meet the dual purpose of communicating the allegations and enabled the Petitioner to effectively defend himself.
