    Case Summary: Paras Kumar v. State of Jharkhand (WPC/551/2022) The High Court of Jharkhand quashed a penalty order permanently withholding 20% of a retired engineer's pension, finding the disciplinary proceedings fatally defective. The court held that oral evidence was necessary to prove charges of delayed property return filing, and critically, there was no judicial finding quantifying why 20% deduction for lifetime was imposed, making the punishment arbitrary and unsustainable. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
