CAT Quashes Termination of Haryana Accountant General Office Employee Over Due Process
The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), Chandigarh bench, overturned the termination of Sunil Kumar, a data entry operator at Haryana's Accountant General office, who was dismissed over alleged discrepancies in SSC recruitment records suggesting impersonation. The tribunal ruled the department failed to follow due process by not providing Kumar a hearing before termination. While reinstating him, CAT allowed the department to pursue lawful action but denied Kumar back wages for the period out of service.
