Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the employee by the employer, affirming the validity of the disciplinary proceedings conducted under the relevant service rules. The Court found that the employee was given adequate opportunity to defend himself and that the charges of misconduct were substantiated. The Court held that the High Court's decision to invalidate the dismissal was erroneous, thereby reinstating the dismissal order and rejecting the employee's writ petition.
