CHAIRMAN CUM M.D.,T.N.C.S.CORPN.LTD.&ORS vs K. MEERABAI

The Supreme Court upheld the disciplinary action taken against K. Meerabai under the Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation Act, affirming the findings of misconduct related to misappropriation of funds as per Sections 409 and 477A IPC. The Court emphasized that the respondent's actions constituted a breach of trust and negligence in her duties, justifying her dismissal from service. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of her writ petition was therefore rejected, confirming the legality of the disciplinary proceedings and the resultant punishment.
