Jaswant Singh vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's writ petition challenging the Central Administrative Tribunal's decision regarding departmental proceedings under Service Law. The Court reiterated that an acquittal in a criminal case does not automatically invalidate disciplinary action if there is sufficient evidence of misconduct, as established in Capt. M. Paul Anthony Vs. Bharat Gold Mines Ltd. The Court affirmed the Tribunal's finding that the appellant's misconduct was proven, thus maintaining the disciplinary action taken against him.
