Union Of India & Ors vs S.P.Verma

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal and the Allahabad High Court, which quashed the dismissal of the respondent-employee under the Public Premises Eviction of Unauthorized Occupants Act, 1971, due to the pending appeal against eviction at the time of dismissal. The Court affirmed that the Disciplinary Authority retains the right to initiate proceedings post the resolution of the appeal. Consequently, the appeal by the appellants was dismissed for lack of merit.
