STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH vs BHOOP SINGH VERMA

The Supreme Court held that the termination of the respondent's services as a temporary Sub-Inspector was valid under Article 311(2) of the Constitution, as it was an order of termination simpliciter and not punitive in nature. The Court found that no departmental enquiry was necessary, and the superior authority had the discretion to terminate the services based on suitability rather than misconduct. The High Court's findings were overturned, affirming the legality of the termination order.
