ANAND NARAIN SHUKLA vs STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's appeal against the reversion order, affirming that a second enquiry on the same charges was permissible after the initial order was quashed on technical grounds. The Court clarified that reinstatement does not prevent a fresh enquiry and that the reduced salary during suspension was validly incorporated into the reversion order. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed without costs as the appellant had already retired from service.
