B .Mujibur Rahman v. The District Collector (Personal Assistant Development)
Case brief
What is this about?
A dismissed village panchayat employee challenged his dismissal for defrauding funds, alleging no enquiry was held. The court noted he had admitted the charges in writing and paid the amount, said coercion claims were factual matters for civil litigation, and directed that he could pursue his pending reconsideration appeal before the appellate authority.
What did the court decide?
Writ petition disposed; petitioner at liberty to appear before the first respondent, the appellate authority, and conduct his pending appeal; no costs.
