CCS (CCA) Rules | Disciplinary Proceedings Cannot Adjudicate External Board Regulations: CAT Kolkata Quashes Irregular Candidature Charge
CAT Kolkata ruled that disciplinary proceedings under CCS (CCA) Rules cannot extend to alleged irregularities in external examinations, as these fall outside departmental jurisdiction. The tribunal quashed a major penalty charge sheet against a government employee for purportedly irregular candidature in the Bihar School Examination, reinforcing the boundaries of natural justice in service law.
