Union Of India And Another vs Tulsiram Patel And Others on 11 July, 1985
16. We agree that an enquiry at the level of Appellate Authority as
prescribed under the judgement of Hon'ble Apex Court in Tulsiram Patel
case would redress the applicants' grievance of being denied natural
justice and provide them opportunity to present their case. But, this would
not address the issue of discrimination which the applicants are facing.
Further, it would not be in the interest of justice to let go the arbitrary use
of the provisions of Rule 14(ii) of the RS(D&A) Rules by the Disciplinary
authority. It appears that the impugned order(s) were passed with caprice
and without rationale and thus are liable to be set aside.
