JASWANT SINGH vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's writ petition challenging the Central Administrative Tribunal's order, which confirmed the departmental proceedings against him for misconduct under the relevant service rules. The Court reiterated that an acquittal in a criminal case does not automatically invalidate disciplinary proceedings, as established in Capt. M. Paul Anthony Vs. Bharat Gold Mines Ltd. The Court emphasized that the Tribunal's role is limited to reviewing procedural correctness and not re-evaluating evidence or findings of fact.
