Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant for misconduct involving gheraoing senior officers, which resulted in injuries to one officer, Manjeet Singh. The Court affirmed the findings of the Labour Court, which had established the misconduct based on evidence including Ext. M-11 to M-15 and witness testimonies. The Court rejected the appellant's claims of discrimination in punishment compared to another employee, Pradeep Sharma, finding that the cases were not on the same footing, thus affirming the Labour Court's decision as justified.
