Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Gujarat High Court regarding the disciplinary action against Gyan Chand Chattar, an employee of Western Railway, who faced charges including unauthorized first-class travel and refusal to accept a memo from superiors. The Court found that only one charge was substantiated, leading to the High Court's directive for a minor punishment. The Supreme Court affirmed the High Court's ruling, emphasizing the need for fair disciplinary procedures under Article 14 of the Constitution, and ultimately dismissed the appeal by the Union of India.
