Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the termination of the appellant's services for providing false information in the attestation form was justified under Article 311 of the Constitution of India. The Court established that an employer has the right to terminate an employee without an inquiry if it is found that the employee provided incorrect information during recruitment. The Court upheld the lower court's decision, affirming the termination based on the precedent set in Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangthan v. Ram Ratan Yadav, thereby dismissing the appellant's appeal.
