Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the dismissal of Dr. Venkata Raidu from his position as General Manager of TRICOR, emphasizing the need for a fair inquiry under Article 311 of the Constitution. The Court held that while Charge No. 1 was proved, it did not amount to misconduct warranting dismissal, as the other charges were not substantiated. Consequently, the Court set aside the dismissal order, reinstating Dr. Raidu with appropriate relief.
