PRASANA KUMAR PANDA vs CENTRAL ELEC.SUPPLY CO.OF ORISSA LTD — C.A. No. 358 - 359/2005

Summary: The Supreme Court allowed Prasana Kumar Panda's appeals against the Orissa High Court's judgment upholding his disciplinary punishment. The Court set aside the enhanced punishment order (withholding three increments and requiring deposit of Rs. 33,609.70) because it was imposed without issuing a show cause notice to the appellant—a procedural violation undisputed by the respondent. The respondents were directed to issue a fresh show cause notice and pass a new order in accordance with law. No costs awarded.
