casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court set aside the Tamil Nadu Administrative Tribunal's order quashing G. Dasayan's dismissal from police service, finding the Tribunal's grounds (non-furnishing of enquiry report, wrong disciplinary authority, and discriminatory punishment) unsustainable under established precedent. However, the Court substituted compulsory retirement for dismissal, considering it more appropriate given the facts and circumstances, particularly that a co-accused Head Constable received the same lesser punishment despite identical charges. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
