S.Bhaskar Reddy & Anr vs Supdt.Of Police & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of the appellants from service by the Superintendent of Police, Railways, was invalid as the borrowing authority lacked the competence to impose such a major penalty under Rule 9 (ix) of the Andhra Pradesh Civil Services (Classification, Control & Appeal) Rules, 1991. The Court emphasized that only the lending authority had the jurisdiction to dismiss the appellants, thus upholding the Tribunal's decision to set aside the dismissal order. The Court ultimately restored the Tribunal's order, reinforcing the legal principle regarding the authority of dismissal in cases of deputation.
