Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the dismissal of a police constable under the Madhya Pradesh Police Act, emphasizing the need for proper evidence in departmental inquiries. The Court held that the findings of the Inquiry Officer, which exonerated the appellant of certain charges, should have been upheld, as the Superintendent of Police's disagreement lacked sufficient justification. Consequently, the dismissal was deemed unjustified, and the Court ordered reinstatement with appropriate benefits, reinforcing the principle that disciplinary actions must be substantiated by clear evidence.
