Union Of India & Anr vs S.N.Maity & Anr

The Supreme Court examined the legality of the repatriation order of the 1st respondent from the post of Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks, which was challenged under Article 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India. The Court held that the repatriation was not illegal as the respondent was on deputation and had no inherent right to continue in the post beyond the stipulated period. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the dismissal of the Original Application by the Central Administrative Tribunal and directing the Union of India to verify claims regarding T.A. and salary in accordance with law.
