Himachal HC sets aside Sukhu govt decision to reemploy official

Shimla, Apr 1 (UNI) In a landmark decision, the Himachal Pradesh High Court on Tuesday struck down the SS Sukhu government's decision to provide re-employment to. Pradeep Sharma as Director of Animal Husbandry for flouting established rules.
The ruling, delivered by a division bench comprising Justices Tarlok Singh Chauhan and Sushil Kukreja, saidthe re-employment granted to Sharma on January 2 was illegal as it violated the mandatory provisions of Chapter 22 of the Handbook on Personnel Matters.
The bench emphasised that such decisions must be based on "exceptional circumstances" and "public interest," neither of which was satisfactorily demonstrated in this case. Instead, the re-employment appeared to stem from a ministerial recommendation rather than a rigorous assessment of necessity or merit.
