U.T., CHANDIGARH vs MOHINDER SINGH

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of a Sub-Inspector of Police under Article 311(2)(b) of the Constitution of India was invalid as the grounds for dispensing with the inquiry were not sustainable in law. The Court upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's decision to quash the dismissal order and reinstate the respondent with all benefits, emphasizing the necessity of a fair inquiry process. The ruling reinforces the principle that dismissal without a proper inquiry violates the rights of public servants.
