Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of a constable from service under Section 11(1) of the Central Reserve Police Force Act, 1949 was invalid due to lack of proper service of notices during the disciplinary proceedings. The Court emphasized that the principles of natural justice were not adhered to, as the respondent was not adequately informed of the charges against him. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's decision to allow the writ appeal, thereby reinstating the respondent.
