#BSF Act

Delhi High Court rules that failure to pay subsistence allowance during disciplinary proceedings does not automatically invalidate the inquiry unless the employee demonstrates concrete financial hardship that prevented participation. The judgment reinforces that procedural lapses must cause actual prejudice to warrant interference under service law.

The Calcutta High Court ruled that fraudulent procurement of government employment nullifies the appointment from the outset, rendering any subsequent delay in discovery irrelevant. This sets a firm precedent for security forces and public employers: integrity at entry is non-negotiable, and decades of service cannot immunize misconduct.
