Dharamshil Agencies Vs. Union of India

The dispute in P.V. Mahadevan v. M.D., Tamil Nadu Housing Board arose from disciplinary proceedings initiated against the appellant, a Superintending Engineer in the Tamil Nadu Housing Board.

The alleged misconduct related to the execution of a sale deed in favour of an employee of the Housing Board in 1990. However, no disciplinary action was initiated for almost ten years. Ultimately, on 8 June 2000, the Housing Board issued a charge memo proposing disciplinary proceedings.
