Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of writ appeals filed by four CRPF personnel challenging their suspension and departmental proceedings following an ambush by militants. The Court found that the appellants were given reasonable opportunity to defend themselves, as mandated by Article 14 of the Constitution, and that the allegations of disobedience and misconduct were substantiated. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, concluding that there was no merit in the appeals.
