The Supreme Court directed that the appeal before the Service Tribunal be restored to its original number in light of the conceding statement by the authorities. The Court found that the Tribunal had previously decided the matter against the record and without considering the grounds raised by the petitioner. The decision of the Tribunal dated 25-03-2010 was set aside, and the appeal was allowed, remanding the case for a lawful decision in accordance with prior judgments in similar cases. This case highlights the importance of adhering to procedural justice and the rights of petitioners in administrative matters. |
