STATE OF HARYANA vs RAM KUMAR .

The Supreme Court held that the removal of the respondents from service under Article 311(2)(b) of the Constitution was justified due to their misconduct during the departmental enquiry, which made it not reasonably practicable to conduct the enquiry. The Court emphasized that the authority must provide objective facts to support the decision to dispense with the enquiry, rather than relying on subjective opinions. The High Court's decision to allow the writ petitions was overturned, affirming the state's action against the respondents.
