Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's decision to quash disciplinary proceedings against Mudrika Singh, a Head Constable in the Border Security Force, citing lack of proper jurisdiction and failure to record adequate reasons for the disciplinary action. The court emphasized the importance of following due process in disciplinary matters, particularly in cases involving service personnel. As a result, the court reinstated the respondent to his original position.
