Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Rajasthan High Court's division bench erred in setting aside the dismissal of respondent No. 1 without examining the legality of the dismissal order. The Court emphasized that the division bench should have remitted the matter to the single judge for a merits-based decision instead of directly ordering reinstatement. The Court directed that the writ petition be heard by the single judge to assess the legality of the dismissal in accordance with law, thereby upholding the procedural integrity of the disciplinary process under the Administrative Tribunal Act.
