G.O. Ms. No. 175 | Administrative Delay in Disciplinary Proceedings Cannot Block Promotion: Telangana HC Reinforces State of Punjab v. Chaman Lal Goyal

The ruling underscores that administrative delay violates natural justice and employees' promotion rights, binding authorities to adhere to timelines.
