I’m a professor at a Deemed University funded by the Central Government, with over 30 years of dedicated service. Recently, I was suspended, accused of creating a WhatsApp group with the university logo for personal gain, while aiming to help alumni with career guidance. The enquiry process isn’t following the established CCA Rules of 1965, with only one session conducted a month ago. My suspension hasn’t been reviewed within the stipulated 90 days. I operate under the CCS (CCA) Rules of 1965 and the Institute’s regulations. Since the Institute isn’t under CAT/MAT jurisdiction, what legal options are available to me for reinstatement? Could the chargesheet or enquiry be dismissed? What specific laws or sections can offer relief? I’d appreciate any guidance.

You can approach the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) for reinstatement, claiming violation of the CCS (CCA) Rules of 1965 and the Institute’s regulations. You can argue that the chargesheet and the enquiry process are flawed, and seek their dismissal based on Article 311 of the Constitution of India, which guarantees protection against arbitrary dismissal of government employees.
