#Gramin Dak Sevak

Patna High Court rules that a false declaration regarding educational qualifications in a Gramin Dak Sevak (GDS) application constitutes suppressio veri and suggestio falsi, rendering the engagement void ab initio under Rule 3(iii) of the GDS Rules 2020. The ruling underscores that contractual engagements in public employment are terminable for misrepresentation, even post-appointment.

CAT quashes disciplinary proceedings against Gramin Dak Sevaks for strike-related absence, holding that Rule 23 requires proof of incitement, violence or sabotage for major penalties.

CAT Allahabad holds that courts cannot reappreciate evidence in service disciplinary cases; interference permitted only for natural justice violations or no-evidence findings.
