O.P.VERMA vs SHAHMAL .

The Supreme Court held that the appellant, a Junior Engineer, should not face penalties for actions taken under the supervision of superior officers, who were discharged from the proceedings. The Court found that the imposition of a one-month imprisonment penalty was unjust, given that the appellant was merely executing orders from higher authorities. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, the impugned judgment was set aside, and the appellant was discharged from all charges.
