Lucknow:19.12.2021
A division bench of the Allahabad hc has upheld the order of the single-judge bench reinstating the first registrar of Rajiv Gandhi National Aviation University, Amethi, Jitendra Singh but with some modifications.
The judgement passed by Justices Ramesh Sinha and Vivek Varma of the Lucknow bench stated that the termination of the probation of Singh is illegal, being ex-facie stigmatic. The court has further remitted the matter to the University asking the authorities to proceed as per law and pass a fresh order within two months.
The judgment came following a special appeal by the Union civil aviation ministry challenging the single bench order that had quashed Singh’s termination.
The division bench order delivered on Friday states that Singh’s termination needs to be revisited. The court said that as far as the entitlement of back wages is concerned, it will be subject to the outcome of further action to be taken by the university.
The ministry of civil aviation had sacked Singh on January 8, 2020, and appointed Garima Singh as the officiating registrar. Singh’s termination order stated three grounds — obstructing an officer appointed by the government from discharging his duties, fabricating a complaint of sexual harassment by involving two girl students and defiance to official orders.
