Gujarat High Court quashes misconduct charge against a retired government employee, awarding ₹10,000.
The Gujarat High Court has annulled a charge sheet against a government employee, a Director of Accounts and Treasury, issued before her retirement. Originally containing three charges, only one remained, alleging she failed to obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) when renewing her passport in 2013. The court ruled this did not constitute misconduct and noted the charge sheet's delayed issuance suggested malicious intent. The state must pay her ₹10,000 in costs.
