BUDH PRAKASH PANDEY Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) BY means of this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for quashing the termination order dated 9-6-1989 contained in annexure '3' attached with the writ petition.

(2.) THE main contention raised on behalf of the petitioner before us is that the services of the petitioner have been illegally terminated while juniors to the petitioner have been retained in service. Relevant allegations have been made in paragraph 6 of the writ petition.

(3.) AFTER hearing learned counsel for the parties, we are not satisfied with the submission of the learned counsel for the opposite parties and, in our opinion, there is sufficient force in the contention raised on behalf of the petitioner. It appears that the authorities have acted in clear contravention of Arts. 14 and 16 of the Constitution in terminating the services of the petitioner through Annexure '3' attached with the writ petition in the facts and circumstances of the present case.
