I've been asked to defend the case by the delinquent employee (colleague). I would like to know more about the the generalities before taking up the case. 1. Whether the employee can be charge sheeted without any preliminary inquiry and if the preliminary inquiry has been held whether the individual should be called or not to explain his position . If a general discussion was made with the employee without giving an iota of doubt, whether the same can be construed as departmental inquiry. In the Govt. Department, the official who is doing the preliminary inquiry, touring to another place , how the tour will be issued by the Head of the Department. Can the Department Head need not mention about the reason for the tour or it should be made in the tour order that he has been ordered to visit another place for preliminary inquiry. Your learned views are solicited.
