Clause 32(4) Maharashtra Private Security Guards Scheme | Only Chairman Can Impose Termination Penalty; Inspector’s Order Violates Statutory Delegation : Bombay HC

Bombay HC quashes termination orders issued by an Inspector under Clause 32(4) of the Maharashtra Private Security Guards Scheme, 2002, ruling that the power to impose major penalties like termination is exclusively vested in the Chairman. The decision reinforces statutory interpretation principles, protecting employees from unauthorized administrative actions.
