Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed whether a disciplinary authority must provide reasons when passing an order of dismissal from service. The Court upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's decision to set aside the dismissal order because it lacked reasoned findings. It reaffirmed the well-settled legal principle that disciplinary proceedings are quasi-judicial in nature and therefore necessitate the recording of reasons for the decision.
