Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in entertaining a writ petition challenging the dismissal of Govindrao, which was issued on 3rd October 1977, after a significant delay of nearly ten years. The Court emphasized that the charges against Govindrao indicated negligence in supervision, which justified the dismissal. The Court concluded that the High Court's decision to quash the dismissal order was inappropriate and should have been dismissed at the outset.
