Union Of India And Others vs Ex. Flt. Lt. G.S. Bajwa

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to reinstate the respondent, who was dismissed by a General Court Martial under the Air Force Act, 1950, specifically citing Sections 41(2) and 65. The Court found that the respondent was denied legal assistance and a fair trial, violating principles of natural justice. Consequently, the dismissal was deemed null and void, and the Court directed the Union of India to pay 50% of the back wages from the date of dismissal until the judgment date, subject to medical fitness.
