Headnote
COURT REPORTS 871 form of the action or the procedure followed; nor do I 1957 think it is relevant to determine what operated in the Parshotam Lal mind of a particular officer. The real hurt does not lie Dlri:.cra in any of those things but in the consequences that The Union of India follow and, whenever any substantial evil follows over and above a purely "contractual one". I do not think the article can be evaded by saying in a set of rules that a particular . consequence is not a punishment or that a particular . kind of action is not intended to operate as a penalty.
