USMAN GHANI VS The CHIEF POST MASTER, GPO KARACHI "Regular inquiry" and "preliminary/fact finding inquiry"---Distinction---Regular inquiry was triggered after issuing show cause notice with statement of allegations and if the reply was not found suitable then inquiry officer was appointed and regular inquiry was commenced (unless dispensed with for some reasons in writing) in which it was obligatory for the inquiry officer to allow evenhanded and fair opportunity to the accused to place his defence and if any witness was examined against him then a fair opportunity should also be afforded to cross-examine the witnesses--- Whereas a discrete or fact finding inquiry was conducted at initial stage but internally to find out whether in the facts and circumstances reported, a proper case of misconduct was made out to initiate disciplinary proceedings.
