Disciplinary actions are taken based on the gravity of the misconduct, with courts emphasizing fairness, proportionality, and adherence to procedural safeguards. While serious misconduct can justify dismissal, minor violations require careful handling to avoid unjust punishment. Proper investigation and compliance with constitutional principles are essential to uphold employee rights and organizational discipline.
