BRIJ NANDAN KANSAL vs STATE OF U.P. & ANR.

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of the appellant was unjustified as the Administrative Tribunal found no convincing evidence to support the charges against him. The Court emphasized that the State Government failed to provide reasons for disregarding the Tribunal's findings and denied the appellant a reasonable opportunity to defend himself, violating Article 311(2) of the Constitution. The Court allowed the appeal, reinstating the appellant based on the Tribunal's positive findings.
