Disciplinary proceedings - allegation of misconduct - Proceedings against ex-Superintendent of Central Excise - Reliance on confessional statements made by accused persons during the investigation - The High court underscored that disciplinary proceedings require evidence that meets legal principles, and reliance on confessional statements from a separate criminal investigation fails to satisfy this criterion. - It was concluded that the punishment orders were based on improper grounds, as the disciplinary actions were not supported by evidence that could logically prove the charges against the employees according to principles applicable to departmental inquiries. Thus, the punishment orders and the appellate decisions affirming them were quashed, and the employees were entitled to consequential benefits.
