Krushnakant B. Parmar vs Union Of India & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the dismissal of the appellant, a Security Assistant, under Rule 3(1)(ii) and 3(1)(iii) of the Central Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, 1964 for unauthorized absence. The Court held that the Inquiry Officer's report, which found the appellant guilty, was flawed due to lack of evidence and failure to address the appellant's defense regarding bias and absence.
