Gauhati HC Stays Discharge of APSC Probationers in Job Scam
Imagine some people got jobs, but there was a problem – a 'cash-for-job scam.'
The Gauhati High Court stepped in to stop the government from firing these people (probationers).
The court said the government didn't follow the rules.
The probationers argued they should not be fired because the firing was like a punishment, not just a normal ending of their job.
The court agreed to pause the firings and told the government to explain itself.
Gauhati High Court stayed discharge orders of APSC probationers.
The discharge orders were related to the cash-for-job scam.
Petitioners argued discharge orders violated previous court directions.
Petitioners claimed discharge orders were punitive, not 'simpliciter'.
The court issued a notice to the government after finding non-compliance.
