Manoj H.Mishra vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the punishment of removal from service imposed on the appellant, who argued that the penalty was disproportionate to the misconduct alleged. The Court examined the context of the appellant's role as a union leader and the circumstances surrounding the flood incident at the Kakarapar Atomic Power Project, ultimately holding that the punishment was indeed shockingly disproportionate to the misconduct. The Court set aside the removal order, emphasizing the need for proportionality in disciplinary actions under service law.
