Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Governor's order extending the service of Dr. Girish Bihari was validly revoked under Section 21 of the General Clauses Act, as it was found to be in violation of the Model Code of Conduct issued by the Election Commission. The Court emphasized that the extension did not create a vested right for the respondent, and the principles of natural justice were not violated as the Governor acted within his constitutional powers. The Court upheld the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal, affirming the revocation of the extension order.
