The department's reorganisation and abolition of the post were treated as valid administrative action taken in financial stringency, so the constitutional challenge failed. At the same time, where a government servant's substantive lien was only suspended while holding an outside permanent post, the lien revives on abolition of that post unless it has been lawfully terminated in the manner required by the service rules. The respondent therefore retained his lien on the earlier post. en-us Tue, 16 Dec 1975 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 25 Apr 2020 12:08:56 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=287663 A bona fide abolition of a government post taken as an administrative measure is not ordinarily struck down as arbitrary under Articles 14 and 16, and judicial review is limited to cases of mala fides or colourable exercise of power.
