M.D., MADRAS METROPOLITAN WATER SUPPLY vs R. RAJAN — C.A. No. 11308/1995

The Supreme Court dismissed the Board's appeals, affirming that courts should not interfere in disciplinary proceedings at an interlocutory stage before the competent authority decides on guilt and punishment. While refusing to decide the academic question of whether the Managing Director or Board has authority to impose dismissal or compulsory retirement, the Court held the Board invited this scrutiny and cannot complain of the Division Bench's ruling on the matter.
