Implementation of Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016 (PWM Rules), including Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in terms of Rule 9(4) of the Rules - HELD THAT:- Regretfully, steps taken by the MoEF for finalizing EPR regime are too slow. We note that the PWM Rules were framed in the year 2016 in place of 2011 Rules. There is no justification for long delay in finalisation of EPR models even after more than four years of the publication of the Rules. The same may now be finalised at the earliest, preferably within three months from today. The State level authorities also need to take necessary effective steps for enforcement, including coercive measures. EC and penal action regime proposed by the CPCB may be duly implemented by the CPCB, State PCBs/PCCs, State Level Monitoring Committees and all other concerned authorities. Dist....... + More

Prayer to reinstate into service and to enhance the subsistence allowance - HELD THAT:- Whenever an employee is arrested and kept under detention for a period exceeding 48 hours, he shall be deemed to be under suspension. It is in the said context, that the impugned order dated 16.07.2018 is passed. Thereafter, the suspension was extended for another 180 days through order dated 28.09.2018. Rules 10 (6) empowers the Government to extend the suspension beyond 90 days, for reasons to be recorded. The respondents are yet to make up their mind whether or not to institute the departmental proceedings. That would be possible only when they get to know the relevant facts that led to the detention of the applicant. Initiation of the departmental proceedings in a hasty manner is certain to become futile. The proceedings in a criminal case on....... + More

Seeking reinstatement into service on expiry of 90 days from the date of initial suspension - smuggling of red sanders - whether the suspension of an employee can be extended beyond 90 days? - HELD THAT:- It was held in Dr. Rishi Anand's case [ 2017 (9) TMI 2005 - DELHI HIGH COURT ] that the very fact the observations of the Supreme Court that the suspension cannot be continued beyond 90 days in case no charge sheet is filed within that time, were not applied in that case; would lead to the conclusion that the said principle cannot be ascribed the status of ratio decidendi. Further, there would not have been any necessity for us to undertake any discussion on this aspect had Rule 10(7) of the CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965 was interpreted or any portion of it was struck down, denuding the Government of the power to continue the suspensio....... + More

Legality of promotion to the cadre of ACIT on the basis of All India level seniority list pertaining to the cadre of Income Tax Officers (ITO) - Held that:- There exists no All India seniority list pertaining to the cadre of ITOs based on the principles/ directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in N.R.Parmar (2012 (12) TMI 872 - SUPREME COURT ). The fact that the cadre of ITO is a feeder cadre for promotion to the cadre of ACIT cannot be disputed. We find some considerable force in the argument of Shri M.S.Trivedi that if the respondents were to effect promotion to the cadre of ACIT on the basis of the existing All India level seniority list of ITOs as on 01.01.2012 (pre-Parmar) circulated through the letter dated 01.09.2015 vide Annexure A/1, there is likelihood of some of the ITOs who were given deemed date of eligibility based on the d....... + More

He was found fit by the DPC and recommended for promotion. ACC, however, did not approve his promotion and desired that all complaints be decided. As a matter of fact, no complaint was pending against the applicant. The only criminal case registered against him had been closed by the investigating agency (CBI) itself and the closure report filed u/s 173 CrPC was accepted by the Special Judge, CBI. The case of the applicant is sq....... + More

Holding DPC for the purpose of promotion from the cadre of Income Tax Officer (ITO) to the cadre of Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax (ACIT) for the vacancy year 2014-15 - Held that:- No material whatsoever has been placed by the respondents before the Tribunal to show that even if the DPC were to consider the officers in the cadre of ITOs as per the All India Seniority List to be published in terms of N.R.Parmar (2012 (12) TMI 872 - SUPREME COURT), the applicant is not entitled to be considered for promotion. They should have pointed out the total available vacancies for the vacancy year 2015-16 and the approximate position of the applicant in the proposed seniority list. No such exercise was undertaken. It is not the case of the respondents that there are several other officials, who are senior to him in the cadre of ITOs before....... + More

Jurisdiction - power of Board requiring industrial units to furnish bank guarantee - invocation of the bank guarantee by the State Board on the alleged breach is penal and thus impermissible under the provisions of the Air Act and the Water Act or not - whether the order of the appellate authority suffers from the infirmity of taking into consideration irrelevant matters and grounds - invocation of the bank guarantee is or not in terms of the bank guarantee - HELD THAT:- It is clear that the Board has preventive, punitive and curative powers. While reading the object and reasons in conjunction with Sections 16 to 18 and Section 31A of the Air Act, it is clear that the powers of the Board to issue directions are to be exercised with the primary object of prevention, control and abatement of air pollution. The most fundamental aspect of ....... + More

Jurisdiction of requiring industrial units to furnish bank guarantee - invocation of the bank guarantee by the State Board on the alleged breach - HELD THAT:- Keeping in view the legislative scheme and the object of the Air Act, it is evident that the Board is not incapacitated to issue a direction which may not be prohibitory or of closure in substance and application, but may be regulatory with an object to ensure that anti-pollution devices and anti-pollution measures are adopted to prevent and control pollution. For this purpose, the Board may require an industry to furnish a bank guarantee which would serve dual purposes. On the one hand, it would provide incentive to an industry to install anti-pollution devices so as to ensure non-encashment of the bank guarantee, while on the other, in the event of default, resulting in polluti....... + More

... ... ..... not tenable. In the result, the orders dated 12.01.2012 and 03.02.2012 are quashed and set aside with direction to the respondents to revoke his suspension and to reinstate him in service. The applicant would be entitled to legally admissible consequential benefits. 48. We make it very clear that taking note of the grave charges leveled against him, the applicant may be posted in a non-sensitive post where the Competent Authority considers that he would have neither access to the relevant records nor would have opportunity to influence the witnesses. We also further add that if at any point of time in future the criminal trial proceedings commence by the trial court, the respondents would have the liberty to consider the possibility of keeping the officer under suspension at that point of time if the facts and circumstances so warrant. 49. In terms of the above orders, directions and observations, the Original Application is allowed. There shall be no order as to the costs.

Difference of opinion of members of Tribunal - Plea filed by applicant being Accountant Member of the ITAT, Chandigarh for invalidation of the transfer order by averring that it is punitive in character – alleged difference of opinion in a judicial matter with private Respondent No.4, who made complaint against him – Held that:- In present case, applicant retained draft judgement of private Respondent No.4 for more than one month, which does not appear to be appropriate and then returned it with contrary view. Applicant must have followed the procedure to be adopted by a Member who wishes to dissent from a draft judgment thus, applicant cannot himself be said to be free from blame. Further, we have not been persuaded to fault the wisdom exercised by the collegium in the matter of making a recommendation for transfer of the applicant from Chandigarh Bench of ITAT to the Rajkot Bench. Therefore, O.A. is held to be denuded of merit – appeal dismissed.

... ... ..... ent cannot be sustained and the respondent has to be re-instated, in service, for the reason that the earlier discharge was on account of those criminal proceedings and conviction only, the appellants are well within their rights to deny back wages to the respondent for the period he was not in service. The appellants cannot be made liable to pay for the period for which they could not avail of the services of the respondent. The High Court in our view, committed a grave error, in allowing back wages also, without adverting to all such relevant aspects and considerations. Consequently, the order of the High Court in so far as it directed payment of back wages are liable to be and is hereby set aside. 12. These judgments have been referred to in the impugned order. No effort was made by the counsel for the applicant to distinguish his case from these judgments, therefore, this case being fully covered by the above judgments is dismissed at the admission stage itself. No costs.
