#suspension of government servants

Madhya Pradesh High Court sets aside the suspension of a police officer who raided a gambling den linked to an IAS officer, ruling that punitive action against lawful duty performance undermines constitutional safeguards. The judgment reinforces judicial review over administrative arbitrariness in disciplinary actions against government servants.

Madurai High Court enforces Tamil Nadu Government Order No.81/2022, directing mandatory review of suspensions exceeding four weeks to prevent administrative arbitrariness. The ruling sets a strict timeline for disciplinary authorities to act, impacting over 500,000 government servants under similar suspension orders.
