RISAL SINGH vs STATE OF HARYANA .

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of an Assistant Sub-Inspector under Article 311(2)(b) of the Constitution requires the authority to provide adequate reasons for dispensing with an inquiry. The Court found that the High Court erred in upholding the dismissal order without addressing the lack of reasons, thereby establishing that failure to provide justification renders the dismissal invalid. Consequently, the Court quashed the dismissal order and directed reinstatement of the appellant.
