Pritam Singh vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the order of compulsory retirement of the appellant under the Railway Services Conduct Rules, 1966, after finding that the appellant had leaked official documents, which constituted serious misconduct under Rule 31. The Court noted that the appellant had admitted to the charges during the inquiry process, thereby validating the disciplinary action taken against him. The Court dismissed the appeal, confirming the High Court's decision to uphold the Central Administrative Tribunal's order.
