Case History
Case Summary: Punjab State Civil Supplies Corporation v. Roop Lal (C.A. 6408/2000) Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal on January 11, 2007, reviving the departmental proceeding against the respondent. The Court held that the High Court's stay of disciplinary proceedings pending civil suit resolution was improper, finding that the existence of parallel civil litigation was insufficient grounds to halt departmental inquiry. The respondent, an Inspector at Kapurthala Centre, was charged with mishandling crop stocks by dispatching newer stocks before older ones, causing financial loss. No costs awarded.
