Aggrieved by the suspension order, datcd 05.05.2O25 and also initiation of disciplinary proceedings vide proceedings, dated 15.08.2025, the petitioner had approached the Tribunal on the ground that the disciplinary action was initiated belatedly, whereas the petitioner was appointed as a Helper in the year 200 1.
