Telangana High Court Upholds Removal Of Law Officers After Change In Govt, Says Appointment Subject To Pleasure Of Govt

Live Law  

While upholding an order of the single judge on removal of certain government appointed advocates, the Telangana High Court said that there was no employer-employee relation between the State and the law officers. The appellants contended that a change of Government–change of political party which may come into power in the general elections–does not change the character of the continuing body of the State Government and cannot en-masse discontinue the Law Officer However a division bench of Justice Abhinand Kumar Shavili and Justice Laxmi Narayana Alishetty in its order said that the law officers were appointed and not selected and so their continuation can be subjected to the pleasure and confidence of the Government. The single judge in its order said that Law Officers who are basically engaged to represent the Government and take care of the Government's interest should enjoy the trust and confidence of the Government. However, the single Judge directed the Government to pay the arrears of salary, if any, and honorarium to the petitioners and to other Law Officers whose services were disengaged by June 26 G.O.
