D. S. GAREWAL vs THE STATE OF PUNJAB AND ANOTHER

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of the All India Services Act (LXI of 1951), affirming that the President's powers under Article 392 allowed for necessary adaptations, including the omission of the condition precedent in Article 312. The Court rejected the appellant's arguments regarding the President's authority, the provisional Parliament's competence, and the legality of the disciplinary proceedings initiated under the Act. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the legality of the inquiry against the appellant.
