Headnote | SERVICE LAW: Disciplinary proceedings - Penalty - Disciplinary proceedings initiated under unamended rule - Penalty imposed in terms of amended rule - Held: In the case at hand, the disciplinary proceeding was initiated by serving a charge-sheet for the purpose of imposition of a major penalty - Employee had no vested right to be imposed a particular punishment as envisaged under the unamended rules - Unamended r.9(vii) was only dealing with reduction or reversion, but stipulation of postponement of future increments has come by way of amendment - The same being a lesser punishment than the maximum, is imposable and the disciplinary authority has not committed any error by imposing the said punishment, regard being had to the nature of charges - It does not violate any Constitutional protection - Andhra Pradesh Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1991 - r. 9(vii)(b). Service Law - Conditions of service - Amendment - Retrospective operation - Held: There is a presumption against the retrospective operation of a statute - A substituted provision is the resultant factor of the amendment in the Rules and it shall guide the consequences that follow from the amended Rules - In the instant case, the amended Rule despite having been substituted has no retrospective effect.Disciplinary proceedings initiated against the respondent, a Senior Accountant in the Sub-Treasury, culminated in the penalty of his reversion to the post of Junior Accountant for two years with the stipulation that there would be postponement of future increments. The State Administrative Tribunal upheld the order. The High Court set aside the punishment holding that it amounted to imposition of two penalties. However, the authorities were granted liberty to pass appropriate orders keeping in view the Andhra Pradesh Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1991. In the instant appeals filed by the State Government the question for consideration before the Court was: whether the punishment could be imposed in accord with the amended Rules or under the unamended Rules? |
