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 necessary. The Court found that the First Appellate Court erred in reversing the Trial Court's decision, which correctly concluded that the employee's termination did not violate principles of natural justice. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's dismissal of the second appeal was set aside, reinstating the Trial Court's findings.
