Form No. 164)." ––But in the case in hand such mandatory provisions has not been complied with and as such the dismissal order of the respondent from service cannot stand in the eye of law.

No. 75 dated 02.12.05, but the copy of said G.D. was not supplied to him for which the respondent was barred to take defence against the departmental proceedings.
