Issues involved:
The validity of a charge memo challenged on grounds of vagueness. Summary: The respondent, an Inspector of Police, was implicated in a raid where incriminating material suggested misconduct. A charge memo was issued, but the respondent challenged its validity due to vagueness. The Administrative Tribunal set aside the charge memo, citing vagueness of charges. The Supreme Court emphasized that at the charge-framing stage, the focus should be on whether the charges disclose alleged misconduct, not on their truth. The Court overturned the Tribunal's decision, directing the enquiry to proceed within eight months and disciplinary action within three months thereafter.
