Shobha Sinha vs The State Of Bihar & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant from service, affirming the findings of the departmental enquiry under the principles of natural justice. The Court noted that the appellant failed to disclose critical information regarding the misappropriation of Bitumen, which constituted a breach of duty.
