Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition challenging the removal of the petitioner from service for defalcation of funds, citing a failure to deposit the amount after being given an opportunity to do so. The Court held that the petitioner was not denied natural justice as he had the chance to defend himself but failed to substantiate his claims regarding the circumstances of the alleged defalcation. The Court found no illegality in the High Court's order, thus upholding the removal from service.
