    Case Summary: WP(C)/2910/2026 Dr. Purabi Phukan v. Union of India & Ors Dr. Purabi Phukan, a probationary professor at AIIMS Guwahati, challenged a show cause notice issued by the Director dated 27.05.2026. The Gauhati High Court found prima facie that the Director lacked authority to issue the notice, as AIIMS Regulations 1999 specify the Governing Body as the disciplinary authority for Group A posts (other than Director). The notice contained no reference to Governing Body authorization. The court issued notice returnable by 15.07.2026 and stayed all coercive action against the petitioner pending the next hearing. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
