💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has ruled that under Uttar Pradesh Government Servant (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1999, oral evidence must be recorded when inquiring a public servant facing a major penalty. The court quashed a high court verdict that upheld a disciplinary authority's order against an assistant commissioner of commercial tax, as no oral evidence was recorded during the inquiry.
