KULDEEP SINGH vs THE COMMNR. OF POLICE

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a Delhi Police constable, affirming that the departmental enquiry complied with the principles of natural justice as per Rule 16(3) of the Delhi Police (F&A) Rules, 1980. The Court clarified that judicial review under Article 226 and Article 32 does not allow for re-examination of evidence unless there is a complete lack of evidence to support the findings. The dismissal of the writ petition by the Delhi High Court was deemed appropriate, as the Tribunal's decision was maintainable under the precedent set in L. Chandra Kumar Vs. Union of India, AIR 1997 SC 1125.
