This discussion concerns an individual who was promoted after being exonerated from a major penalty charge sheet, only to have their promotion reverted months later. The higher authority revisited the closed case, cancelled the exoneration, and ordered a re-inquiry. Despite the inquiry officer finding the charges unproven again, a dissent note led to the reversion. The advice given suggests this action may be unlawful, potentially violating natural justice principles, and recommends challenging the reversion order in a competent court of law, such as a Tribunal, High Court, or Labour Court, depending on the specific circumstances.
