Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the legality of the High Court's order setting aside the dismissal of a BSF constable who was accused of photographing a lady doctor bathing. The High Court had granted full consequential benefits to the respondent, except salary, and dismissed the review petition challenging this order. The Court analyzed whether the disciplinary action and the subsequent relief granted were justified, emphasizing procedural fairness and the evidence on record. Ultimately, the Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the respondent's entitlement to relief.
