Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of writ appeals filed by CRPF personnel challenging their suspension and departmental proceedings following an ambush incident. The Court found that the appellants were given reasonable opportunity to defend themselves, and their actions during the ambush constituted gross misconduct under the Central Reserve Police Force Act. The judgment of the Gauhati High Court was confirmed, affirming the disciplinary actions taken against the appellants.
