Can an Employee Be Recharged for the Same Offense After 15 Years? Seeking Advice on Legal Steps

Hi,

I would like to know whether an employee can be issued a charge sheet again for the same charges. For example, a charge sheet was issued to an employee for producing a fake certificate. An inquiry was conducted, and he was demoted. The caste verification report was sent to district authorities. Later, after 15 years, the district authorities sent a caste certificate stating that it is fake. Can we again issue a charge sheet?

Hi,

The employee produced a fake caste certificate and has to be removed from service. If they are in government service, an FIR has to be registered with the police to take criminal action.

Dear,

One person has given a fake certificate, and accordingly, he was issued a charge sheet. The charges were proved during the inquiry, and subsequently, he was punished and demoted. Now, how can you issue him a charge sheet for the same offense? No, you cannot issue a charge sheet, nor can you punish him now because he has already been punished.

Regards,
J.S. Malik
