https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=200328 A temporary Civil Judge's termination under Rule 12 was upheld because the rule applied uniformly to temporary government servants and was not treated as arbitrary or discriminatory under Articles 14 and 16. The termination was held not punitive or stigmatic: it was in ordinary form, did not cast stigma on character or integrity, and followed only an informal inquiry to assess whether the officer should be retained, so Article 311 and natural justice were not attracted. Absence of consultation with the State Public Service Commission under Article 320(2)(c) also did not invalidate the order. The challenge therefore failed on all substantive grounds. en-us Tue, 29 Apr 1969 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 26 Mar 2018 11:45:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=200328 A temporary Civil Judge's termination under Rule 12 was upheld because the rule applied uniformly to temporary government servants and was not treated as arbitrary or discriminatory under Articles 14 and 16.
