Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the principle of natural justice was not violated in the departmental proceedings against the respondent conductor of the UP State Road Transport Corporation. The Court found that the names of the witnesses had been communicated to the delinquent prior to their examination, and thus he was not denied an opportunity to defend himself. The Court overturned the High Court's decision which had interfered with the termination order, affirming the validity of the departmental authority's conclusion and punishment.
