Uoi And Ors vs Om Prakash Yadav

The Supreme Court set aside the Calcutta High Court's directive that prohibited the Disciplinary Authority from passing any order affecting the pensionary benefits of the respondent, emphasizing that such discretion lies solely with the Disciplinary Authority. The Court reiterated that the High Court does not possess appellate powers in departmental inquiries and that the imposition of punishment is within the authority's jurisdiction. The Court allowed the respondent to file objections to the second Show Cause Notice within 15 days, mandating the Disciplinary Authority to consider these objections and issue orders within a month.
