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 unverified remarks without a proper inquiry. The Court emphasized that the jurisdiction of Civil Courts extends to such matters, particularly when the termination lacks due process. Consequently, the appeal by the Corporation was dismissed, allowing the respondent to continue in service with all monetary benefits.
