Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to allow the writ application of Suresh Kumar Singh, who was wrongfully dismissed from service based on allegations of misconduct. The court found that the departmental proceedings lacked proper adherence to the principles of natural justice and that the evidence against the respondent was insufficient to warrant such a severe penalty. Consequently, the court reinstated the respondent with all consequential benefits.
