Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Rule 11 of the U.P. Government Servant (Punishment and Appeal) Rules, 1999, the appellant is entitled to file an appeal against his dismissal from service. The Court found that the Division Bench of the High Court erred in not allowing the appellant to pursue this remedy after he expressed a desire to do so. Consequently, the Court permitted the appellant to file an appeal to the Appellate Authority within four weeks, emphasizing that it did not express any opinion on the merits of the case.
