    Summary of WPC/4338/2020 - Shobha Murmu v. State of Jharkhand The Jharkhand High Court quashed the dismissal order (Memo 2609 dated 24.9.2018) of Shobha Murmu, a Craft Teacher terminated after 29 years of service, finding the dismissal harsh and disproportionate. The petitioner was dismissed based on alleged irregularities in her 1989 appointment regarding insufficient craft training credentials and non-compliance with reservation rosters, but the court ruled that raising such defects after nearly 30 years of unblemished service violated principles of proportionality and fair play. The court directed reinstatement with all consequential benefits including arrears of salary and seniority, following its earlier decisions in similar cases.
