Union Of India vs Sardar Bahadur on 29 October, 1971

The Supreme Court has held that in a disciplinary case the standard of proof required is that of preponderance of probability and not proof beyond reasonable doubt, [Union of India v. Sardar Bahadur, (1972) 4 SCC 618; (1972) 1 LLJ 1]. Therefore, it is perfectly in order for the IO to consider the charge as proved on preponderance of probability basis.

I SCC 551 : (1992 AIR SCW 2830), it was held that the Administrative Tribunal was not an appellate authority and it could not substitute the role of authorities to clear the efficiency bar of a public servant, recently, in State Bank of India v. Samarendra Kishore Endow (1994) 1 JT (SC) 217 : (1994 AIR SCW 1465), a Bench of this Court to which two of us (B. P. Jeevan Reddy & B. L. Hansaria, JJ) were members, considered the order of the Tribunal, which quashed the charges as based on no evidence, went in detail into the question as to whether the Tribunal had power to appreciate the evidence while exercising power of judicial review and held that a Tribunal could not appreciate the evidence and substitute its own conclusion to that of the disciplinary authority. It would, therefore, be clear that the Tribunal cannot embark upon appreciation of evidence to substitute its own findings of fact to that of a disciplinary / appellate authority.
