THE COMMANDANT, DIS.AUTHY . vs B. NAGESWARA RAO — C.A. No. 4669/2008

Summary: The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remitted the case to the Enquiry Officer for fresh consideration, finding that the High Court erred in not remitting the matter despite acknowledging that respondent B. Nageswara Rao was denied defence assistance in violation of Rule 34(5) of CISF Rules. The Court directed that the respondent be provided defence assistance and legible copies of all relevant documents within four weeks, with the Enquiry Officer to conclude the enquiry expeditiously. Each party bears its own costs. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
