Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellants' writ petitions challenging their termination from service as Daily Wage Constables in the CRPF, citing that their conduct was deemed unsatisfactory and not suitable for regularization. The Court emphasized that the appellants were engaged on an ad-hoc basis and could be terminated without cause, as per the rules governing their employment. The Court held that the actions of the respondents did not constitute punishment requiring an inquiry under service rules, affirming the High Court's decision.
