V.M. Saudagar (D) vs Divisional Commercial Manager, Central Railway 2025 INSC 1257 - Disciplinary Proceedings
Disciplinary Proceedings - Bombay High Court had reversed the CAT judgment that had set aside the dismissal order of a TTE - Allowing appeal, SC observed: All the charges have not been found to be proved conclusively against the appellant and CAT, on the basis of the material on record, had rightly interfered with the penalty of dismissal from service against the appellant -when the findings of the Enquiry Officer were perverse basing on completely misleading of the materials produced before the Enquiry Officer, CAT was fully justified in setting aside the order of penalty.
