Risal Singh vs State Of Haryana & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of an Assistant Sub-Inspector under Article 311(2)(b) of the Constitution was invalid due to the lack of reasons provided for dispensing with the inquiry. The Court emphasized that appropriate reasons must be ascribed when invoking this provision, referencing Union of India v. Tulsiram Patel. The Court overturned the High Court's decision, ruling that the dismissal order was vitiated in law and should be quashed.
