Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the termination of a Medical Representative based on misconduct under Rule 14 of the Service Rules, specifically citing the submission of false daily reports. The Court upheld the Labour Court's finding that the termination was illegal due to a lack of a fair enquiry and improper authority in issuing the termination order. The Court emphasized the necessity of adhering to procedural fairness in disciplinary actions, ultimately ruling in favor of the respondent and reinstating him.
