Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the termination of the employee under the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 was justified due to the failure to issue tickets to 20 passengers despite collecting fares. The High Court's finding that tickets were issued was found to be incorrect, as the employee admitted to not issuing tickets. The Court reinstated the employee without back wages, emphasizing the importance of proper ticket issuance and record-keeping in public transport operations.
