https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=769773 HC quashed re-employment of Director, Animal Husbandry after superannuation, finding it violated mandatory procedural requirements under Chapter 22 of Personnel Handbook. Court held the decision was arbitrary, based solely on ministerial recommendation without considering other eligible candidates or recording satisfaction of exceptional circumstances. The re-employment failed to serve public interest and constituted a "spoil system." HC directed fresh DPC to consider all eligible candidates including petitioner who was illegally deprived of promotion consideration. Extension/re-employment requires data-based decision reflecting exceptional circumstances and public grounds, not mere political recommendations. en-us Tue, 01 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 02 May 2025 08:54:50 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=769773 HC quashed re-employment of Director, Animal Husbandry after superannuation, finding it violated mandatory procedural requirements under Chapter 22 of Personnel Handbook.
