    Case Summary: WPS/1848/2026 - Pravesh Shukla v. State of Chhattisgarh The Chhattisgarh High Court quashed the termination order of Pravesh Shukla, a contract-based Technical Assistant in the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin scheme, holding that his removal violated natural justice principles. Though Shukla was a contractual employee, the court found that since his termination was based on misconduct allegations (negligence in fund distribution), it constituted punitive action requiring a full-fledged departmental inquiry with opportunity to cross-examine witnesses—not merely show-cause and final notices. The court allowed the respondents to pursue action afresh following proper procedure. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
