PRABHU LAL SHARMA vs U.O.I. — C.A. No. 4011/1999

Case Summary: C.A. No. 004011/1999 - Prabhu Lal Sharma v. U.O.I. The Supreme Court dismissed Prabhu Lal Sharma's appeal challenging his termination from service on 28 February 1985, based on submission of a forged Matriculation certificate. Although the Court found procedural defects (the termination order lacked written reasons as required under CCS Rules 1965 Rule 19(ii)), it declined to interfere, noting the appellant's significant delay in challenging the order and that school records confirmed no candidate by his name appeared in the 1976-77 examination. The appeal was dismissed on 27 March 2001. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
