Judgment text as reported

CHIEF ENGINEER, GUJRANWALA ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY (GEPCO), GUJRANWALA VS KHALID MEHMOOD Rr. 5(iii) & 5(iv)---Disciplinary proceedings---Regular inquiry---Scope---No rigid or definitive rule that in each and every case after issuing show cause notice a regular inquiry should be conducted, but if the department aspires to dispense with the regular inquiry due to some compelling circumstances or exigency, then justifiable reasons should be assigned in writing before dispensing with the regular inquiry---No doubt, if a charge is set up or stems from admitted documents, no full-fledged regular inquiry is obligatory, but if the allegations are based on disputed questions of facts, then obviously the employee cannot be denied a right of regular inquiry, specifically where the allegations cannot be resolved without leading evidence and providing a fair opportunity to the parties to cross-examine the witnesses.
