CENTRAL ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL CUTTACK Order Sheet Item no.: 22 O.A./111/2026 (CUTTACK) [ DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING ] Court No.: 1 No of Adjournment: 6 Order Dated: 03/11/2026 GHANASHYAM KISKU Vs DEPTT OF POSTS
For Applicant(s) Advocate : NIROD KUMAR SAHOO
For Respondent(s) Advocate : A.C DEO Order of The Tribunal Heard learned counsel for both sides.
2. Learned counsel for the applicant heavily prayed for stay of the Disciplinary Proceeding initiated again him under Rule 14 of the CCS(CCA ) Rules, 1965 as Postal Assistant, Baripada, H.O., Baripada. The Inquiry Officer sought to proceed with inquiry without supplying him Nominal Roll maintained at Barsahi SO, and Register/Parcel list with abstract of Barsahi SO for the articles received on dates mentioned in Article-I to IV of the charge sheet. Therefore, he approached this Bench in earlier O.A. No.411/2021 which on contesting was disposed of on 02.05.2025 with direction to the I.O to supply copies of those two documents to the applicant before proceeding ahead with the enquiry and complete the enquiry at an early date.
3. By drawing our attention to Annexure-A/5 dated 15.12.2025, learned counsel for the applicant submits that he was not supplied the relevant documents asper letter dated 15.12.2025 (A/5). This O.A. filed challenging the order dated 15.12.2025 (A/5). It is stated that proceeding with the enquiry without making him availability of documents, as sought, by him, will highly prejudice him to prove his innocence.
4. This was contested by the learned counsel for the respondents by stating that his prayer was to supply two documents, and 2nd document was supplied to him but in so far as Nominal Roll of Barsahi SO is concerned the same was not supplied since no Nominal Roll is maintained at Barsahi SO. Accordingly, Learned counsel for the respondents prayed that this O.A. is not at all maintainable and hence question of granting Interim Relief of stay of the Disciplinary Proceeding does not arise; more so when the Disciplinary Proceeding has not been challenged or sought to be quashed by the applicant in this O.A.
5. After considering the submissions of the parties we have perused the records.
6. The prayer of the applicant in this O.A. is as under: "i. In this respect it is most respectfully prayed that this Hon'ble Tribunal may be pleased to quash the Order dated 15.12.2025 vide Annexure-A/5 and issue direction for issuance of Nominal Roll and Parcel abstract maintained at Barasahi SO office as per Rules.
ii. The Hon'ble Tribunal may be pleased to direct the respondents for payment of litigation cost and compensation for mental agony and distress to the applicant.
iii. This Honorable tribunal may also be pleased to pass any other further order /orders as deemed fit and proper in the facts/pleadings and circumstances of the case."
7. The Interim Relief of the applicant is as under :- "That, till the finalization of this OA, Disciplinary Inquiry as per charge sheet vide Memorandum dated 01.08.2019 against the applicant may please kept in abeyance."
8. From the relief sought it is established that the applicant did not challenge the maintainability, sustainability or veracity of the Disciplinary Proceeding initiated against him. His challenge in this O.A. as against the reply given on his application for supply of documents dated 15.12.2025.
9. We find that the respondents have fairly mentioned that no Nominal Roll is maintained at Barsahi SO. Therefore, the question of supply of the documents does not arise. In so far as supply of Register/Parcel list with abstract of Barsahi SO for the articles received on the dates mentioned in Article-I to IV of the charge sheet is concerned the respondents have also supplied the same. In the above circumstances, we do not find any ground much less to speak any sufficient ground or material to stay the proceeding more so when this Bench vide order dated 02.05.2025 passed in O.A. No.411 of 2021 had specifically directed to complete the enquiry at an early date. Hence, prayer of staying the proceeding is hereby rejected.
10. The matter is fixed to 14.12.2026 for final adjudication.
11. Parties are given liberty to file their papers if any relevant to this case meanwhile after exchange of the same. Copy of this order be given to learned counsel for both sides. Pramod Kumar Das Member (A) SUDHI RANJAN MISHRA Member (J) Kalpeswar Behera ( ps )
