Khursheed Ahmad Khan vs State Of U.P.& Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the removal of the appellant from service under Rule 29(1) of the U.P. Government Servant Conduct Rules, 1956, for contracting a second marriage without dissolving the first marriage. The Court found that the appellant's claims of having divorced his first wife were unsubstantiated and that he had misled authorities regarding his marital status. The Court affirmed the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition, concluding that the disciplinary action taken was justified based on the evidence presented.
