Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed an appeal by the Chairman of the Orissa Administrative Tribunal seeking to expunge adverse remarks made against him by a Division Bench of the Tribunal in a transfer cancellation case. The Court emphasized the need for administrative officers to maintain decorum and professionalism, holding that the remarks made were unwarranted and could potentially harm the reputation of the Chairman. The Court ultimately ruled in favor of the appellant, expunging the remarks from the Tribunal's order.
