Union Of India (Uoi) And Ors. vs R. Reddappa And Anr. on 5 August, 1993
In the case of R. Reddappa (supra) cited by the applicant, the dispute
related to punishment orders of dismissal from service were passed without
conducting any enquiry. The Tribunal's orders were challenged before Hon'ble
Apex Court. The observations made in the order about arbitrariness, were
made with regard to the orders passed by the authorities in disciplinary
proceedings in the cited case. In the present OA, it cannot be said that the
order of the respondents has been arbitrary in view of the contentions of the
respondents that their action is in accordance with the rule 15 of the
Appendix-37 of the Postal Manual.
