On Friday(on 23rd August), The Delhi High Court upheld the reinstatement of suspended IPS officer Gurjinder Pal Singh, dismissing the Central Government’s challenge. The court emphasized the lack of due process in his suspension and highlighted potential political interference. This legal victory underscores the importance of following proper procedures in administrative actions against senior officers.
On Monday (15th April): The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) has declined to grant interim relief to Bibhav Kumar, the personal assistant to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who sought to contest his termination from the position of Officer on Special Duty (OSD) by the Vigilance Department. The termination stands, pending further hearings, as CAT reasoned that granting interim relief would essentially be a final judgment.
