    Case Summary: WPC/491/2019 The Jharkhand High Court quashed a disciplinary order (Memo No. 321 dated 31.01.2017) against retired teacher Ashish Kumar Mishra, finding the inquiry process fundamentally flawed. The court held that no oral witnesses were examined to prove charges, and the inquiry officer improperly acted as both investigator and prosecutor rather than remaining impartial, violating settled legal principles. The court directed consequential benefits—including withheld increment, full subsistence allowance, promotion, and seniority—be restored within 12 weeks. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
