Article 227 | Perverse Findings Without Evidence in Disciplinary Proceedings Violate Natural Justice: Bombay HC Quashes Dismissal, Orders Reinstatement with Backwages
Bombay High Court holds that disciplinary orders based on no evidence are perverse and reviewable under Article 227. The Court quashed the dismissal of a Zilla Parishad employee, reinstated him with backwages, and imposed a lesser penalty for procedural lapses, emphasizing that natural justice mandates evidence-based findings in service law.
