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 during the inquiry, and the charges of misconduct were substantiated. The judgment of the Allahabad High Court, which had deemed the dismissal invalid, was overturned, reinforcing the principle that employers have the authority to dismiss employees for proven misconduct under service regulations.
