Delay of 15 years defeats charge-sheet; Rule 22 (Condonation) not applicable under 1965 Conduct Rules | Disciplinary Proceedings : CG HC
A charge-sheet issued after a fifteen-year lapse was set aside, with the court ruling that the condonation doctrine under Rule 22 of the 1965 Conduct Rules cannot justify such delay. This safeguards civil servants from stale disciplinary actions and reinforces timely compliance with procedural timelines.
