Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition filed by the Union of India against the High Court's order quashing the dismissal of K. Subramanian under Section 20(1) of the Army Act and Rule 17 of the Army Rules. The Court held that the principles of natural justice were not followed in the dismissal process, and considering the nature of allegations, the long delay, and the respondent's promotion, it was not appropriate to interfere with the High Court's decision. The Court emphasized the importance of fair procedure in disciplinary actions against personnel.
