Naveen Chand Shukla vs Cgst on 27 April, 2023
Subsequent to a particular promotion when a promotion is found to
have been done without observance of procedure or due to any
other infirmities with reference to standing instructions of DoPT,
the same DoPT OM provides for re-visiting such promotions by
conducting review DPC of original DPCs without affording any
opportunity of personal hearing or showing cause to the affected
person(s) Since executive instructions of Government of India on
promotions as well as demotions do not provides for a mechanism
of showing cause or affording an opportunity of personal hearing
before proceeding to nullify/modify/change any promotion already
affected on the recommendations of DPC, therefore, this
procedure was not exhausted in the instant case as it was not
required to be so. Furthermore, this legal and factual stand is
further supported by the Judiciary as well. The Hon‟ble High Court
of Madhya Pradesh vide its order dated 30.01.2006 in Munna Lal
Yadav Vs Dr. Hari Singh Gour and another.
