Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the removal of the Chairman of the Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission under Article 317 of the Constitution, emphasizing that 'misbehaviour' must be established through a fact-finding inquiry as per Article 145. The Court held that mere allegations of irregularities in examination processes do not suffice for removal unless proven to reflect a lack of integrity or impartiality. The charges against Shri Ashok Darbari were examined, and the Court found insufficient evidence of misbehaviour, thus upholding the Chairman's position.
