Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the termination of the employee by the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation was valid as he was appointed on a daily wage basis and no departmental inquiry was required for such termination. The Court found that the High Court and the First Appellate Court erred in concluding that the termination was illegal and violative of natural justice principles. The judgment of the High Court dismissing the appeal was upheld, affirming the Trial Court's findings regarding the employee's status and the legality of the termination.
