Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the dismissal of the respondent, a bus driver employed by the statutory corporation under the Road Corporation Act, 1951, was illegal due to violations of natural justice principles, including the failure to provide necessary documents and the inability to cross-examine witnesses. The Court upheld the lower courts' decisions that declared the termination order void and reinstated the respondent with all monetary benefits. The judgment emphasized the jurisdiction of civil courts under Section 9 of the Code of Civil Procedure to adjudicate such matters.
