Judgment text excerpt
The Punjab and Haryana High Court upheld the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal dismissing Anil Mishra's challenge against an adverse entry in his service record for the year 2000-01. The Court found that the appellant failed to demonstrate malafide intent behind the adverse entry and that his representations were duly considered and rejected by senior authorities. The Court reiterated the limited scope of judicial review in administrative matters, referencing Tata Cellular vs. Union of India, AIR 1996 SC 11, and concluded that the appellant's new arguments regarding bias were not permissible as they were not raised earlier.
