Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in quashing the dismissal order of the respondent, which was based on serious charges proven beyond doubt. The Court emphasized that the High Court's interference under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is limited, and the findings of the Enquiry Officer should not be disturbed. Consequently, the Supreme Court restored the order of dismissal passed by the Disciplinary Authority, allowing the Civil Appeal.
