Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the disciplinary proceedings against the first Respondent, a police officer, stating that the charge memo dated 29.10.2013 was non est in law. The Court emphasized that the principles of natural justice were violated in the disciplinary action taken against him. The Court held that the revocation of suspension was justified and affirmed the High Court's ruling, thereby dismissing the appeal by the State of Tamil Nadu.
