https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=313782 Removal of a Pradhan under the U.P. Panchayat Raj Act was held unsustainable where no meaningful post-enquiry show-cause opportunity was given before the final order. The Court applied the proviso to Section 95(1) and held that reasonable opportunity requires notice and hearing after the enquiry report, when the authority considers the material and proposes action. As the order of removal was passed on the enquiry report without affording that opportunity, the action violated both the statutory mandate and principles of natural justice. The removal order and the appellate order were accordingly quashed. en-us Mon, 10 May 1993 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 02 May 2024 10:59:33 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=313782 Removal of a Pradhan under the U.P.
