ORDER :- While the petitioner, Raman, was working as Warehouse Superintendent at Karur under the Madras State Warehousing Corporation, the respondent herein, he was served with a charge memo dated 9-5-1968 pointing out certain lapses. Before final orders could be passed on the matter, he was served with a memo of additional charges for alleged lapses of insubordination, indiscipline and dishonesty. On 16-9-1968, he was placed under suspension and was relieved of his duties with effect from 19-9-1968 and thereafter 12 consolidated charges were framed against him. He was asked to show cause before 20-11-1968 as to why he should not be removed from service for those charges. On 4-11-1968, he submitted a letter to the Managing Director stating that he had already submitted his explanation on 22-5-1968 in respect of the charge memo dated 9-5-1968, that he was not responsible for the charges framed against him and that he might be allowed to explain his grievances in an open enquiry. He followed up this by a subsequent explanation dated 22-11-1968 in which he repudiated the allegations made against him in support of the charges and prayed that the charges may be dropped. In that
