Board Of Trustees Of The Port Of Bombay vs Dilipkumar Raghavendranath Nadkarni ... on 17 November, 1982

"3. It is no doubt true that in the rules governing the disciplinary proceedings no provision is made with regard to payment of fees or remuneration to the legal practitioner who is permitted to assist the government servant in cases where the Presenting Officer appointed by the disciplinary authority is a legal practitioner. Explaining this right of a government servant to seek the assistance of a legal practitioner in cases where the Presenting Officer happens to be the legal practitioner, this Court in Board of Trustees of the Port of Bombay v. Dilipkumar Raghavendranath Nadkarni has said: (SCC p. 130, para 10) "The Inquiry Officer combines the judge and prosecutor rolled into one. Witnesses are generally employees of the employer who directs an enquiry into misconduct. This is sufficient to raise serious apprehensions. Add to these uneven scales, the weight of legally trained minds on behalf of employer simultaneously denying that opportunity to delinquent employee. The weighted scales and tilted balance can only be partly restored if the delinquent is given the same legal assistance as the employer enjoys. Justice must not only be done but must seem to be done is not a euphemism for courts alone, it applies with equal vigour and rigour to all those who must be responsible for fair play in action. And a quasi-judicial tribunal cannot view the matter with equanimity on inequality of representation.

State Of U.P. & Ors vs Saroj Kumar Sinha on 2 February, 2010

There is no dispute to the proposition of law that ordinarily the court should not depart from the normal rule of procedure by permitting the litigant to take a new plea without insisting for amendment of the pleading. The reason behind it is obvious that such new fact would adversely affect the other side by taking him to surprise and a sufficient opportunity to canvass his case in counter pleading should be given. As has been held in case of Saraj Kumar Sinha (supra), subsequent event can be brought by way of a supplementary affidavit, the writ petition cannot be thrown out of consideration merely because the subsequent event was not incorporated by way of an amendment but have been allowed to be agitated by filing supplementary affidavit.

C. L. Subramaniam vs Collector Of Customs, Cochin on 15 February, 1972

In C.L Subramaniam v. Collector of Customs, Cochin, (1972) 3 SCR 485 : (AIR 1972 SC 2178) a Government employees requested the Enquiry Officer to permit him to appear through a legal practitioner and even though a trained public prosecutor was appointed as Presenting Officer, this request was turned down. When the matter reached this Court, it was held that the enquiry was in breach of the principles of natural justice. The order of the domestic tribunal was sought to be sustained on the submission that sub-rule (5) of Rule 15 of the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1957 lays that "...The Government servant may present his case with the assistance of any Government servant approved by the Disciplinary Authority as aforesaid is a legal practitioner or unless the Disciplinary Authority, having regard to the circumstances of the case, so permits." The submission was that it is a matter within the discretion of the Enquiry Officer whether to grant permission and more so because the relevant rule fetters the claim to appear through a legal practitioner. Negativing this contention, this Court held that the fact that the case against the appellant was being handled by a trained prosecutor was by itself a good ground for allowing the appellant to engage a legal practitioner to defend him lest the scales should be weighted against him.
