STATE OF PUNJAB . vs JASWANT SINGH — C.A. No. 933/2001

Summary: The Supreme Court heard Punjab's appeal against a High Court judgment that upheld a constable's reinstatement after his discharge for wilful absence. The Court found the High Court failed to first determine whether a substantial question of law arose before examining the merits. The Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted the case back, directing the High Court to identify any substantial questions of law from the appeal grounds, formulate them, and then decide the second appeal accordingly. No costs awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
