Headnotes / Summary

Termination of service

Punishing Authority

Jurisdiction

Order terminating services of civil servant subsequently was cancelled by Authority, but after such cancellation same Authority revised its order and again terminated services of civil servant

Original punishing Authority could not revise its own punishing orders either merely on reconsideration or on discovery of some flaws in statutory procedure after original orders were passed, but before any appeal had been preferred against those orders-- Punishing Authority was not competent to revise or modify its orders before departmental appeal was filed against those orders much less after such appeal had been filed by civil servant, because in the event of a departmental appeal, Appellate authority becomes seized of the matter and in that situation it would, go beyond jurisdiction of punishing Authority to revise its own order and substitute it with an order imposing entirely a different penalty

Not within the powers of punishing Authority to replace its earlier order with subsequent order even though it had been done by Authority on advice of Justice Division as claimed by Authority

Order passed against civil servant without holding any enquiry against him, could not sustain.
