Cordelia Cruise Case: Delhi High Court Modifies CAT Order, Sets Aside Direction To Pass Speaking Order Before Initiating Action Against Sameer Wankhede
Live LawModifying an order passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal in August last year, the Delhi High Court has set aside the direction of passing a reasoned and speaking order before any action is initiated against Sameer Wankhede on the basis of an enquiry report in relation to the Cordelia cruise drugs case, after granting a personal hearing to him. Vide the impugned order, the Tribunal held that NCB DGP Gyaneshwar Singh could not have been part of the inquiry team set up to probe alleged procedural lapses by Wankhede in connection with the case. 1 and 5 to pass a reasoned and speaking order before taking a decision to initiate action against the applicant is wholly unsustainable and is required to be set aside,” it added. Wankhede then filed complaint against Singh before a Delhi Court, alleging that he harassed him during the enquiry conducted to probe the alleged procedural lapses by him in connection with the Cordelia cruise drugs case.
