MAN SINGH vs STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court held that the disciplinary action taken against the appellant under the Punjab Police Rules, 1934, was justified as the appellant failed to exercise proper control over his subordinates, leading to a violation of prohibitory orders regarding liquor transport. The Court emphasized that the punishment of stoppage of two annual increments was proportionate to the misconduct established during the inquiry. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions and the disciplinary action taken against the appellant.
