places two restrictions on the above ‘doctrine of pleasure’. In other words, it provides two
safeguards to civil servants against any arbitrary dismissal from their posts:

appointed.
o A civil servant cannot be dismissed or removed or reduced in rank except after an inquiry in which he
has been informed of the charges against him and given a reasonable opportunity of being heard in
respect of those charges.
* The protection under Art. 311 is available only when the dismissal, removal, or reduction in rank is
by way of punishment. In Parshotham Lal Dhingra v Union of India, the Supreme Court has laid
down two tests to determine whether termination is by way of punishment -
o whether the servant had a right to hold the post or the rank (under the terms of contract or under any
rule)
o whether he has been visited with evil consequences If it amounts to punishment
