Jammu, Aug 20: Judicial Member M.S. Latif, while deciding T.A. No. 3958/2021, arising out of SWP No. 18/2012, set aside the March 19, 2012 order cancelling the promotion of Mohammad Yaqoob, observing that the action violated the principles of natural justice and could not withstand the test of law, as it cannot be withdrawn without first affording the employee an opportunity of hearing.
The litigation had originally been instituted before the High Court of J&K in 2012. Yaqoob had sought quashing of Order No. 134 of 2012 dated March 19, 2012, besides consequential service benefits arising from an earlier promotion order issued in his favour.
