Kolkata Municipal Corporation & Ors vs Dilip Kumar Das & Ors on 25 November, 2022
The Hon'ble High Court at Delhi in Union of India and others versus
Yateendra Singh Jafa, judgement delivered on 2nd July 2012, has quoted
the observation of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in connection with the case
10
law reported in 1998 SCR 693 [State of AP vs N.Radhakrishnan] wherein the
Hon'ble Apex Court held that whether a disciplinary proceeding is to be
quashed on the ground of delay is to be determined according to the facts
and circumstances of each case and that the essence of the matter is that
the Court has to take into consideration all the relevant factors, to balance
and weigh them to determine if it is in the interest of clean and honest
administration that the disciplinary proceedings should be allowed to
terminate after the delay particularly when the delay is abnormal and there
is no explanation for the delay.
