State Of Assam & Anr vs J. N. Roy Biswas on 6 October, 1975
29. Here in the instant case a memorandum of charge has
been issued, enquiry officer has found the charge proved against the
petitioner on the basis of the admission of guilt on the part of the
petitioner, but it has not been accepted by the disciplinary authority
and no final order has been passed. Hence, applying ratio of Hon'ble
Supreme Court in the case of N.K. Verma (supra) as has been held
at paragraph-26, the de novo enquiry cannot be said to be
impermissible.
