Patna High Court CWJC No.4000 of 2017(4) dt.29-08-2019 2/2 enquiry report was made available to the petitioner and he was given an opportunity to file his second show cause dealing with the report of the Inquiry Officer.

When the matter was taken up on 01.08.2018, a submission was made on behalf of the petitioner that he had filed certificates through his wife Kiran Lata Devi and that the disciplinary authority-cum Inquiry Officer had wrongly held that the petitioner was appointed on the basis of forged certificates.

The said order has not been complied with by the petitioner.
