Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the lower courts, affirming that the termination of the respondent's services by the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation was illegal and against the principles of natural justice, as it was based on unsubstantiated remarks without a proper inquiry. The Court emphasized the jurisdiction of Civil Courts to adjudicate matters concerning employment disputes, particularly when termination lacks due process. The appeal by the Corporation was dismissed, allowing the respondent to continue in service and receive all due benefits.
