Allahabad HC Upholds Tribunal Order Quashing Disciplinary Action Against UP Woman Officer
The Allahabad High Court's Lucknow bench dismissed the Uttar Pradesh government's petition, upholding the Public Service Tribunal's decision to quash disciplinary action against a woman officer. The officer, a deputy director in the state's Planning Department, had commented on a 2018 Ambedkar Jayanti rally on Facebook, which led to charges of misconduct. The tribunal found the punishment of withholding increments and censure unjustified, a ruling the High Court maintained despite government objections citing serious misconduct.
