1993 (1) TMI 255 - SUPREME COURT
Whether an authority enjoys immunity from disciplinary proceedings with respect to matters decided by him in exercise of quasi-judicial functions?
Whether the act or omission was committed by the appellant in the course of the discharge of his duties as servant of the Government?
Held that:- Appeal allowed. As for a mere technical violation or merely because the order is wrong and the action not falling under the above enumerated instances, disciplinary action is not warranted. Here, we may utter a word of caution. Each case will depend upon the facts and no absolute rule can be postulated. It is open to the respondent to put forth all defenses open to him in the departmental inquiry which will be considered on its merit.
