    Case Summary: W.P.(C) 12072/2018 Court: High Court of Delhi Parties: Sh. Sanjay Pratap Singh (Petitioner) v. Union of India Through Secretary (Respondent) Judgment Date: April 1, 2026 Outcome: The petitions were allowed. The High Court set aside the Central Administrative Tribunal's finding that the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) lacked jurisdiction to initiate disciplinary proceedings against IAS officers of the AGMUT Joint Cadre, and restored the disciplinary proceedings to continue in accordance with law. Key Issue: Whether the Ministry of Home Affairs was competent to initiate and conclude disciplinary proceedings against members of the AGMUT (Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram, Union Territories) Joint Cadre of the IAS, or whether only the individual State Government where the officer was posted could do so. Holding: The Court held that the MHA's authority to exercise disciplinary control over AGMUT Joint Cadre members is valid under the statutory framework, flowing from the definitional provisions of the All India Services Rules governing Joint Cadres. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
