Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of reversion orders issued by the Divisional Personnel Officer under the Railway Board's scheme for Track Maintenance. The Court emphasized that the appellants were reverted without due process and without an opportunity to contest the decision, violating principles of natural justice. The Court held that the reversion orders were invalid as they lacked proper selection and approval, thereby upholding the appellants' right to challenge the reversion.
