If there is any default in the process of application of mind independently at the time of issue of charge memorandum by the Disciplinary Authority: SC

Service Law – Charge Memorandum – the approval for initiating disciplinary proceeding and approval to a charge memorandum are two divisible acts, each one requiring independent application of mind on the part of the Disciplinary Authority. If there is any default in the process of application of mind independently at the time of issue of charge memorandum by the Disciplinary Authority, the same would not get cured by the fact that such approval was there at the initial stage.

Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965 – Rule 14 – Distinction between the prior approval and approval simplicitor does not have much impact so far as the status of the subject charge memorandum is concerned.
