Central University Of Jharkhand vs Harish Mohan Son Of Late Jagdish Prasad ... on 16 May, 2024
(i) The question of applicability of the judgment rendered by the
Hon'ble Apex Court in Roop Singh Negi vs. Punjab National
Bank and others (supra) and State of Uttar Pradesh and others
vs. Saroj Kumar Sinha (supra) is not at all applicable in the facts
and circumstances of the case since in these cases the factual
aspect is quite different to that of the present one. Here, in the
present case the writ petitioner time and again, even though has
been noticed to participate in the enquiry, but he has chosen not
to appear rather on each and every date when the notice was
issued, he has communicated through e-mail that he will not
appear. The contention, therefore, has been raised that a public
servant is required to obey the order passed by the competent
authority but not appearing intentionally is nothing but an
arrogant attitude of the writ petitioner.
