Ajit Kumar vs State Of Jharkhand & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the removal of the appellant, a subordinate judge, was justified under the proviso (b) to Article 311(2) of the Constitution of India, which allows for dispensation of an inquiry if it is impractical to hold one. The Court found that the High Court correctly upheld the Governor's order based on the Full Court's recommendation, which cited concerns over the validity of judgments rendered by the appellant. The Court affirmed the legality of the removal order, emphasizing the importance of maintaining judicial integrity and the procedural safeguards in public service dismissals.
