Jagdish Singh vs Punjab Engineering College & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a Sweeper from Punjab Engineering College for unauthorized absence, affirming the High Court's decision that the punishment was not disproportionate to the misconduct. The Court reiterated that judicial review of disciplinary actions is limited to instances where the punishment is shockingly disproportionate, referencing the case of V. Ramana Vs. A.P.S.R.T.C. (2005) 7 SCC 338. The Court found no grounds to interfere with the disciplinary authority's decision, thus dismissing the appeal.
