    Case Summary: The High Court of Chhattisgarh quashed a punishment order against Deputy Collector Atul Kumar Shete, finding that a contractual employee (D.D. Singh) had unlawfully participated in the disciplinary proceedings by considering the petitioner's representation and recommending punishment. The court held that only statutory authorities prescribed under the Chhattisgarh Civil Services Rules 1966 can exercise disciplinary functions, and any decision influenced by an unauthorized person violates legal principles. The court allowed the petition and permitted fresh proceedings following proper statutory procedures. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
