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 services were terminated due to unsatisfactory conduct and the disbandment of the Auxiliary Battalion. The Court emphasized that the appellants were engaged on an ad-hoc basis and could be terminated without cause, as per the applicable regulations. The Court affirmed the High Court's ruling that the actions taken by the respondents did not constitute punishment but were justified based on the appellants' unsuitability for regularization.
