Mohd.Yousuf vs Dir.Gen.Of Fire Ser.A.P.& Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the dismissal of an employee under the Andhra Pradesh Revised Pension Rules, 1980, and the A.P.C.S. (CC & A) Rules, 1991. The Court held that the dismissal was invalid due to the lack of a proper enquiry and failure to provide the appellant with the enquiry report or an opportunity to defend himself, violating principles of natural justice. The Court restored the Tribunal's order which had set aside the dismissal, emphasizing the necessity of adhering to procedural safeguards in disciplinary actions.
