I am a Central Govt employee from Kerala. Due to an alleged involvement in a criminal case (malpractices in a departmental exam)at New Delhi in 1996, I was placed under suspension on 08.05.1998 as a criminal case was filed against me in the court at New Delhi and continued under suspension for a long period of 4 years and 2 months.
There after a Rule 14 Inquiry was ordered on 31.8.99. The inquiry was dragged on for over 13 years with no fault on my part and finally the inquiry report was issued on 04.10.2012.
Original file was not with the disciplinary authority at the time of framing the charges and that was not placed before the Inquiry Officer also, as these documents were in the custody of Police. All the documents produced were photocopies. Hence the inquiry, perhaps, was conducted in violation of statutory provisions contained in Rule 14 of CCS (CCA) Rules 1965.
List of documents shown in the Memo of charge itself is written as
“ List of Documents (Photocopies) “ and the list of documents shown in the I.O Report also clearly shows all the documents filed on behalf of D.A. are mere photocopies.
The Inquiring Authority has mentioned in his report that the defense has not demanded production of original documents in the Inquiry when the same was mentioned in defence brief. Is it not the duty of the prosecution to produce the original documents in the Inquiry? Is there need of a demand from the defense ?
The Disciplinary Authority has forwarded a copy of the inquiry report, simultaneously informing me that he has agreed with the findings of the Inquiring Authority before receipt of my representation. I have submitted my representation citing all the above matters. But, the D.A. has issued a major penalty of reduction of Pay by two stages for 3 years and I will not earn increments during the period of 3 years and this will be with cumulative effect.
In a similar case of Sri A. M. Srinivasan Vs. Union of India in O.A.180/2011, the Hon’ble C.A.T Madras Bench has quashed the memo of charges and punishment order vide its order dated 14 June 2012, on the grounds of delay and non-production of original documents in the inquiry.
Kindly Advice as this case has ruined me completely.

Dear Experts,
If any Nursing College introduces Scholarship Schemes/ for the meritorious nursing students with the condition that :
• The sponsored candidate should sign a Bond to work in any of the Hospitals of our group for the period of 3 years.
• The total sponsored amount will be recoverable by the Employer / Institution on her behalf during the Bond period.
Is it legally possible, especially when there is a Directive of the Indian Nursing Council against bonds from students.
If not what alternative can be adopted by the Nursing institution, if the student/ parents opts for such a scheme.
Please advice
