RAILWAY BOARD, REPRESENTING THE UNION OFINDIA, NEW DELHI A vs NIRANJAN SINGH

The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction under Article 226 by interfering with the General Manager's findings on the first charge against the respondent, a railway employee. The Court established that the disciplinary authority is not bound by the Enquiry Committee's conclusions and can accept evidence that was rejected by the committee. The Court also ruled that if an order of removal is based on multiple grounds and one is found unsustainable, the order is still valid if supported by other grounds. The appeal was allowed, and the writ petition was dismissed.
