SUPREME COURT OF BANGLADESH (HIGH COURT DIVISION) EMPLOYEES (DISCIPLINE AND APPEAL) RULES, 1983

Rule —2(1)

Authority—the power existed to the Deputy Register-in-charge for the routine works, but not for the particular purpose of framing the charge against an employee because rule 2(1) gives the Registrar such power as persona designata which  means a person considered as an individual in a legal action.

Supreme Court of Bangladesh Vs. Md. Shafiuddin 10BLT (AD)-50

Per Md. Ruhul Amin: It appears that the AAT was of the view that in proceeding against the respondent there was violation of the Rules since the 2’ Show cause notice was issued on the direction of the Chief Justice and in taking final decision for awarding punishment the same was not placed before the Chief Justice, but was considered by the Register (appellant) and finally he awarded the punishment. The fact being that it is the Registrar who is the competent authority in respect of the Respondent for taking disciplinary action and that the Registrar on consideration of the materials on record having made the decision for awarding punishment to the Respondent and having passed the order of removal the same in my view cannot be said to have been passed in violation of the Rules.
