Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition filed by C. Jacob, affirming the decision of the Director of Geology & Mining regarding the termination of Jacob's service due to his failure to rejoin after sanctioned leave and subsequent private employment, which violated government conduct rules. The Court noted that Jacob's representations for reinstatement were rejected based on substantial evidence of his non-compliance with disciplinary procedures. The dismissal was upheld as the petition lacked merit and did not warrant further examination.
