'Reinstate With All Consequential Benefits': Allahabad High Court Quashes Disciplinary Proceeding Against Indian Airforce Wing Commander

Live Law  

The Allahabad High Court has quashed the disciplinary proceedings against pilot-petitioners regarding an aircraft accident in 2008, calling it 'illegal, arbitrary and an abuse of the process of law' due to unexplainable delay and the arising apprehension of malafide therein. Background Senior Counsel Prashant Chandra, appearing for the petitioner, argued that the abrupt issue of charge-sheet after six years by the State Government when he was on deputation from the Indian Airforce is without jurisdiction. It is further contended that the order terminating the petitioner's services is based on the investigation report of the Aircraft Accident Investigation BureauAircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, which has no such finding against the petitioner. Furthermore, on the first issue, the Court noted that the petitioner was an employee of the Indian Air Force working on deputation with the State Government at the time of the accident.
