Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appeal was not maintainable as the appellant's cause of action changed upon his dismissal from service, which occurred after the original suit was filed. The Court emphasized that the appellant failed to seek relief against the dismissal order in a timely manner, and the amendment application was rejected due to the lack of justification for the delay. The Court ruled that the appellant could not maintain proceedings based on the original cause of action after the dismissal, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
