You need to seek explanation from the HOD of your department. If the said explanation is not given then file writ petition in HC for the Same.

You have been punished under a departmental inquiry so to check whether what defences can be taken will be after reading all documents.

Though in case of construction matter government can initiate a enquiry even after four years but the grounds of enquiry should be seen.

You can approach the Gujarat Civil Services Tribunal against the order of the adjudicating authority also if in case the departmental is still pending you can seek interim relief or order to expedite the enquiry .

The High Court can be approached too but thus the appropriate remedy exist so under tribunal, high court can order to move before tribunal too.

The matter is worth contesting and the service rules and the Order of Adjudicating authority need to be persued along with the Memorandum of Charge drawn.

If order is passed without hearing your version you can approach high court under writ petition challenging the order or to administrative tribunal.

Since it is departmental enquiry better to challenge order in administrative tribunal.

The law on the point is that disciplinary proceedings cannot be initiated or continued after retirement.

Challenge the aropnama served upon you after your retirement, and the Department Inquiry initiated against you in furtherance thereof.

If you are aggrieved by the orders passed in the inquiry committee, then you can always file a writ petition before high court with a request for setting aside the orders and reinstate you in service with full payments and service benefits.
