I am an upper division assistant in the government department. Can the department suspend me on the basis of a false FIR and charge sheet? When I was at my friend’s marriage ceremony. Some friends were also present in that ceremony. When we were returning from the venue of marriage my car had an accident with a cow. Then hit a person who was drunk and coming on the wrong side. He died immediately on the spot. One of my friends was driving the car.
The local police lodged an FIR and filed a charge sheet. He did not examine any witness of the incident but stated in the charge sheet that the deceased was in a state of intoxication and going on the wrong side. The department has initiated a departmental inquiry against me immediately after FIR and suspended me after filing of charge sheet. Can the department suspend me on the basis of a false FIR?
