The Central Government employees service rules shall have a clause that if any employee is convicted for an offence involving moral turpitude, he may be dismissed from service. Under such a clause, he may dismissed.

If such a clause is absent, then an employee cannot be dismissed or punished without holding a domestic enquiry and without giving him all opportunities of defending himself.
