There is a common tendency amongst the suspended and or charge sheeted
employee/workman that they try to evade the service of the charge-sheet when sent by Registered/Speed Post, Courier, Email, Whats app or SMS. In fact in
such cases, the Charge-Sheet should be published in the local leading
newspaper/s as held by Supreme Court.

In another case, the SC has held that the publication of a charge-sheet or a
show-cause notice in the news paper which is not known to be popular in the
area, will not be sufficient and the initiation of disciplinary proceedings
upon such defective service will be treated as BAD IN LAW. When rules
provide that charge-sheet should be serviced either by Registered Post or by Publication, then pasting it on the door of residence of delinquent employee
will not be proper.
