The Union Of India & Ors vs Smt Sushma Soni & Anr on 2 July, 2013
11. We have noticed from the impugned judgment of the learned Central Administrative Tribunal that it has heavily placed reliance on two judgments, one of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in K.M. Nanavati's case (supra) and the other of Andhra Pradesh High Court in Deputy Inspector General v. D. Rajaram (supra), to conclude that the order of the Governor dated 3.12.1999 in the present case, has the effect of wiping out the disqualification on account of conviction provided in Rule 19(1) of the Rules of 1965. We have carefully gone through both the judgments to ascertain whether the ratio of law laid down in these cases was rightly applied by the Tribunal or not and whether these judgments have any application to the prayers made and granted to respondent no.1. With respect, we intend to disagree with the view taken by the learned Tribunal.
