Commissioner Of Police, New Delhi vs Narender Singh

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of a police constable without a disciplinary inquiry, as per the proviso to Article 311(2) of the Constitution of India, was invalid. The Court emphasized that the appellant failed to establish sufficient grounds for such dismissal, which necessitates adherence to due process. Consequently, the Court upheld the Tribunal's decision to reinstate the respondent and directed that a regular disciplinary proceeding be initiated against him.
