Orissa high court quashes removal of Bhuban NAC chairman, cites 'legal infirmity'
The Orissa High Court has reinstated Suvendu Kumar Sahoo as chairperson of Bhuban NAC, quashing his removal by the state government. Justice R.K. Pattanaik ruled the action legally unsustainable, citing a lack of evidence for wilful misconduct. Mere negligence or irregularities are insufficient grounds for removal under the Act, the court emphasized.
