Union Of India & Ors vs Vikrambhai Maganbhai Chaudhari

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal, which quashed the Notification No. C-11011/1/2001-VP dated 29.05.2001, stating that the Tribunal was justified in its interpretation of Rule 29(1)(vi) of the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965. The Court emphasized that the absence of a specified time limit in the notification does not invalidate it, but the Tribunal's conclusion regarding the procedural irregularity was upheld. Consequently, the appeal by the Union of India was dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's order.
