Union Of India & Ors vs B.V.Gopinath on 5 September, 2013
26. At this stage, we are reminded of the Latin phrase stare
decisis et non queta movere meaning, stand by what has been
decided and do not disturb what has been settled. While it is
true that courts are not restrained by any principle of law from
expressing a different view on a point of law or to distinguish
precedents (a topic we wish to advert to briefly a little later),
stare decisis need not be disregarded to unsettle settled
positions. We would read these precedents (referred to in
paragraphs 21 to 25, supra) as settling the law that unless the
relevant discipline and appeal rules applicable to an
officer/employee of an authority within the meaning of Article
12 of the Constitution so require, disciplinary proceedings by
issuance of a charge-sheet cannot be faulted solely on the
ground that either the Appointing Authority or the Disciplinary
Authority has not issued the same or approved it. These
precedents have stood the test of time and having full
application to the case at hand, could not have been lightly
overlooked. A holistic consideration of all these precedents by
the High Court was certainly the need of the hour.
Thavasippan (supra) had considered the precedents in
Shardul Singh (supra), P. V. Srinivasa Sastry (supra) and A.
Radhakrishna Moorthy (supra) and P. V. Srinivasa Sastry
