Govt. employee quitting to fight polls can’t seek reinstatement: Rajasthan High Court
The Rajasthan High Court ruled that a government employee who resigned to run as a political party candidate cannot be reinstated. The court affirmed the Central Administrative Tribunal’s decision that standing for election breaches the civil service’s requirement of political neutrality. The judgment underscores that former public servants who contest polls are ineligible for re‑employment in their previous posts.
