Reduction in rank
Reduction in rank, a civil servant is reduced in rank only after an inquiry is held; he is informed of the charges against him in such inquiry and he is given a reasonable opportunity of being heard in respect of those charges. [Constitution of India, Art. 311(2)]Reduction in rank, if a civil servant has a right to a particular rank, then the very reduction from that rank will operate as a penalty, for he will then lose the emoluments and privileges of that rank. If, however, he has no right to the particular rank, his reduction from an officiating higher rank to his substantive lower rank will not ordinarily be a punishment (AIR 1958 SC 36 referred); Shitla Sahai Srivastava v.

Dismissal or removal or reduction in rank
Dismissal or removal or reduction in rank, Any and every termination of service is not a dismissal, removal or reduction in rank. A termination of service brought about by the exercise of a contractual right is not per se dismissal or removal. If the termination of service is founded on the right flowing from contract or the service rules then, prima facie, the termination is not a punishment and carries with it no evil consequences and so Art. 311 is not attracted. A reduction in rank likewise may be by way of punishment or it may be an innocuous thing, Parshotam lal Dhingra v. Union of India, AIR 1958 SC 36: (1958) SCR 828...
