Smt. Kanta Devi vs Union Of India And Anr

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of Ansuya Parshad, a deceased employee of the Central Reserve Police Force, was valid as the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) had the authority to dismiss him without prior approval from the Inspector General (IG), contrary to the appellant's claim based on Rule 27 of the Central Reserve Police Force Rules, 1955. The Court found that the Division Bench of the Delhi High Court erred in its interpretation of the rules, affirming that the DIG's order was not non est. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the dismissal order and the interpretation of the rules regarding appointing authority.
