Whether abusing senior officer even outside office in public place amounts to misconduct?

On the question whether the act of abusing

one’s senior officer, though in a public place,

constitutes a misconduct, the Tribunal

observed that the State and for that matter

the Government would never encourage or

tolerate any behaviour of a Government

servant which could be called as unbecoming

of a Government servant and expect that at

all times he observed a righteous

behaviour/conduct. Jagdeo Raut vs U.O.I.
