Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to reinstate Santosh Kumar Pandey, a constable with the CISF, who was removed from service following a disciplinary inquiry. The court found that the inquiry process lacked fairness and transparency, leading to the conclusion that the removal was unjustified. Consequently, the court directed the reinstatement of Pandey with 50% back wages from the date of his removal.
