of the High Court on the instructions issued in the G.O. cited, Government

in abeyance or deferred in the cases falling under the categories (b) and (c)
in para 1 of the G.O. cited viz.,
(i) where
charges have been framed and disciplinary proceedings initiated and the charges
are so grave that if they be held proved, the officer would not be promoted; or
(ii) where an investigation has been conducted by the anti-corruption
Bureau and it is established that there is a prima facie case for prosecution
or taking disciplinary action charges which, if held proved, would warrant the
supersession of the officer.
On the other hand,
Government direct that such cases also should be given consideration to meet
requirements of the principles of naturals justice.
