U.P.S.R.T.C vs Ram Kishan Arora

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in substituting the punishment awarded by the disciplinary authority without sufficient grounds, as the respondent was found guilty of serious misconduct under the Road Transport Corporation Act. The Court emphasized that the commission of a criminal breach of trust is a serious misconduct, and the disciplinary authority's decision should not be interfered with lightly. The Court upheld the disciplinary action taken against the respondent, thereby reinforcing the authority of the disciplinary body in employment matters.
