casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court allowed FCI's appeal against the Punjab & Haryana High Court's direction permitting respondent Bant Singh to engage a retired FCI employee as a defence assistant in disciplinary proceedings. The Court held that Rule 58(8) of FCI Staff Regulations limits representation to serving corporation or government employees only, not retired employees whose engagement would constitute regular legal practice. However, the Court declined to interfere with the High Court's directions since the enquiry had already been completed with the retired employee's assistance, thus avoiding reopening proceedings.
