Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court directed the respondents to pay Rs. 1 lakh to the petitioner, Ram Naresh Prasad Singh, as a final settlement for unpaid salary from April 2002 to December 2003, despite the government's claim of termination in 1989. The Court noted that the petitioner continued to work as an Assistant Head Master until 2004 without an effective termination order. The decision emphasizes the importance of due process in employment termination and the obligation of the government to settle dues owed to employees.
