casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: C.A. No. 007251/1997 Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed Union of India's appeal and set aside the High Court judgments. The Court upheld the Army's discharge of Goverdhan Singh, finding the discharge order valid and rejecting claims it was defective for lack of proper notice. Key Facts: An Army soldier convicted of murder in 1986 was discharged following a show-cause notice. The High Court had invalidated the discharge, but the Supreme Court found the soldier had actually received proper notice and the procedural objection was never previously raised—making the High Court's interference erroneous. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
