Bangladesh
Oil, Gas And Mineral Corporation (Petrobangla), Ordinance, 1985

 

Service
Regulation No. 42(8)

It
provides that if the final decision is not taken by the authority in a
disciplinary proceeding against its employees, the person proceeded against
shall stand exonerated from all the allegations on the expiration of 180 days
from the date of notice of the proceeding.

A
lawfully drawn proceeding and valid orders of suspension, though cease to have
effect on the expiration of 180 days for not taking the final decision in the
matter, cannot be declared invalid. Appointment of an Enquiry Committee after
the proceeding lost its force and the respondent stood exonerated from all the
allegations against him is illegal and void.

Service
Regulations—Rule 15

Rule
15 of Service Regulations of the Corporation (BOGMC) empowers it to send its
employees outside the Corporation on deputation basis. BOGMC subsequently
formed a subsidiary company named Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration Company
Limited and got it registered under the Companies Act, 1913. By resolution of
the Board of Directors of the Corporation held on 1. 6.1991 respondent No. I
was permanently transferred to the said subsidiary company. The High Court Division
rightly held that respondent No. I acquired a right under section 24(2)(d) of
the Ordinance to remain an officer of the Corporation and his permanent
transfer to the subsidiary company without his consent was illegal.

Service
Regulations—Rule 15

Although
Rule 15 of the Service Regulations of the Corporation provides that an employee
of the Corporation may be sent on deputation to a subsidiary company for a
period not exceeding 3 years prior consent of the employee concerned is
required to be obtained before his transfer on deputation to a subsidiary
company or other organisations. Service Regulations of the Corporation do not
contemplate permanent transfer of an employee and as such the impugned order is
found to be without lawful authority and of no legal effect.
