The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the removal of a conductor from service under the Road Transport Corporation Act, following findings of misconduct during a departmental inquiry. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to reinstate the respondent with a penalty of stoppage of two increments, while denying back wages, emphasizing that the respondent did not contest the finding of guilt for serious misconduct. The judgment clarified the procedural integrity of departmental inquiries and the scope of judicial review in service matters.
