Sarbdeep Singh Virk vs State Of Punjab & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's decision regarding the repatriation of the appellant, an IPS officer, to Maharashtra, affirming that the order was valid under the provisions of the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965. The Court ruled that the authority to take disciplinary action post-deputation lies with the Central Government, thus quashing the suspension order issued by the Punjab Government. The Court directed the State of Punjab to remit the disciplinary proceedings to the Central Government for a final decision, emphasizing the need for adherence to proper administrative procedures.
