31. In view of the above, the impugned proceedings issued in proceedings Rc.No.3546/A2/DSC-2008 dated 6.8.2011 in O.A.Nos. 6965, 6972, 7321 and 7523 of 2011; the impugned proceedings in O.A.No. 7791 of 2011 dated Nil, September, 2011 and the impugned proceedings dated 8.9.2011 in all other O.As are set aside with liberty to the Respondents in all the O.As to conduct fresh enquiry against the applicants strictly in accordance with Rule 20 of the APCS (CC&A) Rules 1991.
