J U D G E M E N T The original respondent, Dinanath Shantaram Karekar, who died during the pendency of the proceedings before the Central Administrative Tribunal Bombay and has since been replaced by the present respondents, was appointed as unskilled labour in the Naval Armament Depot, Bombay.
The Tribunal found the service of the charge sheet and the show cause numberice on the respondent as insufficient and therefore, set aside the order dated 19th August, 1985, by which be was removed from service.
This order was upheld in the Departmental appeal.
The Tribunal has found that the charge sheet which was issued to him by registered post was returned with the postal endorsement number found, while the show cause numberice was published straightaway in Dainiki Sagar, Navshakti.
He was, however, removed from service by order dated 19th August, 1985 after regular departmental enquiry.
The order of removal as also the appellate order were challenged by him before the Tribunal on the grounds, inter alia, that neither the charge sheet number the show cause numberice were ever served upon him and, therefore, the entire proceedings are vitiated.
He was subsequently promoted to the post of Gun Repair Labourer, Grade I. On 25th October, 1973, he was declared quasi permanent on that post with effect from 1.8.1966.
