# Rajasthan High Court: Charge-Sheets Not to Be Quashed Prematurely

Posted On - 30 April, 2025 • By - King Stubb & Kasiva

In *S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 17059 of 2024*, the High Court ruled against premature judicial intervention in disciplinary proceedings. The Court held that charge-sheets form part of the internal enquiry process and should not be quashed unless the issuance is patently without jurisdiction or mala fide.

Citing various judgments, including *State of Orissa v. Sangram Keshari Misra* and *Onkar Singh Khosla v. Union of India*, the Court concluded that mere allegations of factual inaccuracies in the charge-sheet do not warrant judicial review at the preliminary stage. The appropriate recourse for the employee is to submit a defence before the Disciplinary Authority.

Courts should refrain from quashing disciplinary charge-sheets unless there is a demonstrable jurisdictional error or procedural impropriety.
