In Brief
An employee appointed as Bill Clerk in 1981 after passing a competitive examination and interview sought promotion to senior grade after 25 years. His employer then issued a show cause notice alleging he had obtained the post by fraud and lacked the required qualifications. The employee replied denying the allegations and citing his clean service record. The High Court upheld his reversion to Khalasi. The Supreme Court allowed his appeal, holding the reversion arbitrary and unjust. The Court found no suppression or fraud in his original appointment, which was made after proper verification. It set aside the reversion and granted him pensionary benefits as if reversion never occurred, plus interest at 15% on arrears."
