Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of an employee under the principles of Service Law, affirming the findings of the Labour Court regarding misconduct related to the unauthorized possession of title deeds and attempts to sell mortgaged property. The Court noted that the employee's actions breached the trust of the employer, justifying the disciplinary action taken. The appeals against the High Court's dismissal of the writ petitions were therefore rejected, confirming the legality of the termination under the relevant service regulations.
