I was accused of wrongdoing and faced an internal investigation. While the investigation cleared me, the CBI preliminary inquiry, which was part of the investigation, has been forwarded to another department. This department has recommended disciplinary action without conducting any further inquiry. How can I legally challenge this?

You can challenge the disciplinary action by filing a representation against the department’s recommendation, highlighting the clearance by the internal investigation and the lack of further inquiry. You can also consider approaching the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) or the High Court to challenge the decision, depending on the nature of your employment and the governing rules.
