Issue (despatch)

Issue (despatch), the meaning of the word 'issued' has to be gathered from the context in which it is used. Meanings of the word 'issue' given in the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary include: 'to give exit to; to send forth, or allow to pass out; to let out; ... to give or send out authoritatively or officially; to send forth or deal out formally or publicly; to emit, put into circulation'. The issue of a charge-sheet, therefore, means its dispatch to the government servant, and this act is complete the moment steps are taken for the purpose, by framing the charge-sheet and dispatching it to the government servant, the further fact of its actual service on the govern-ment servant not being a necessary part of its requirement, Delhi Development Authority v. H.C. Khurana, (1993) 3 SCC 196: AIR 1993 SC 1488 (1493)....
