Case History
Case Summary: Sham Lal v. State of Punjab Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed Sham Lal's appeal and set aside the High Court's judgment. The Court found that the Disciplinary Authority relied upon a letter (dated 17/7/96) that was not part of the original inquiry record and was never brought to the appellant's notice, thereby vitiating the punishment order. Direction: The matter is remitted to the Disciplinary Authority for reconsideration, limited to the question of punishment. If the Authority still wishes to rely on the aforementioned letter, it must issue notice to the appellant with a copy of the letter and provide him reasonable opportunity to respond.
