U.P.S.R.T.C. vs MAHENDRA NATH TIWARI

The Supreme Court held that the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (U.P.S.R.T.C.) was justified in removing the respondent from service for misconduct, specifically unauthorized driving of a bus and possession of used tickets. The Court found that the labour court's interference with the punishment was flawed, as the respondent failed to provide any evidence to explain his actions. The Court reinstated the original punishment of removal, emphasizing that the misconduct was serious and warranted such action under the relevant service regulations.
