U.P. State Road Transport Corporation vs Ramesh Chandra

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order for reinstatement of the respondent conductor, who was dismissed for not depositing ticket sales and being inebriated while on duty, finding the punishment disproportionate to the charges. However, the Court set aside the High Court's award of 50% back wages, determining that the reinstatement alone sufficed. The appeal was partly allowed, with no costs awarded.
