Case Summary: State of Punjab v. Kuldip Singh Bains (C.A. No. 545/2001) The Supreme Court allowed the State of Punjab's appeal on February 12, 2002, setting aside the lower appellate court and High Court orders. Kuldip Singh Bains, a government employee, was dismissed for willful absence from duty after failing to submit a required medical certificate for leave extension and subsequently failing to appear before the disciplinary inquiry officer. While lower courts quashed the dismissal citing lack of personal hearing, the Supreme Court ruled that since Bains remained ex-parte (absent) during proceedings, he could not claim denial of hearing, and the trial court's dismissal order was justified.
