Sep. Satgur Singh vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court upheld the Armed Forces Tribunal's order regarding the discharge of the appellant under the Army Act due to seven red ink entries, affirming that such entries alone do not necessitate discharge without an impartial inquiry as per Army Instructions dated December 28, 1988. The Court clarified that while an inquiry is required, the absence of a formal inquiry does not automatically invalidate the discharge if the decision is justified. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the discharge as justified based on the appellant's history of misconduct.
