LIC Staff Regulations | Expression 'Lower' Than Existing Pay Scale Wide Enough To Punish Employee To Minimum/Lowest Scale: MP High Court

Live Law  

Madhya Pradesh High Court has recently clarified that the expression 'lower' grade/post in Clause 39 of LIC also encompasses punishment to the 'lowest'/'minimum' grade or post. To reach such a conclusion, the court discussed the findings of the MP High Court regarding the ambit of Regulation 30 of Kshetriya Gramin Bank's Staff Service Regulations, 1980, rendered in Gurudayal Gupta v. Satpura Narmada Kshetriya Gramin Bank, Chhindwara & Ors. While allowing the intra-court writ appeal filed by LIC against its employee, Yashwanth Singh, the division bench opined that the single-judge bench's interpretation of Regulation 39 was not in accordance with the law. and MP High Court's aforementioned decision in Gurudayal Gupta, the Division Bench concurred with the observations that the penalty of reduction to a lower time scale or pay can't be restricted by one grade alone.
