THE STATE OF RAJASTHAN vs HEEM SINGH

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Rajasthan High Court which reinstated a police constable dismissed after a disciplinary enquiry for alleged murder. The court found that the evidence presented in the disciplinary proceedings was insufficient to support the misconduct claim, especially since the respondent had been acquitted of murder charges in a Sessions trial. The appeal by the State was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling but denying back wages for the period of dismissal.
