S.BHASKAR REDDY vs SUPDT.OF POLICE

The Supreme Court held that under Rule 9 (ix) of the Andhra Pradesh Civil Services (Classification, Control & Appeal) Rules, 1991, the borrowing authority lacks the competence to dismiss employees, which is reserved for the lending authority as per Rule 30. The Court found that the High Court erred in allowing the writ petition by interpreting the first proviso to Rule 16, thereby reinstating the Tribunal's decision that set aside the dismissal orders against the appellants. The appeal was allowed, restoring the Tribunal's order.
