Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the termination of the appellant's services was valid as he provided false information in the attestation form, which violated the conditions of his employment. The Court emphasized that under Article 311 of the Constitution of India, an employee can be terminated without an inquiry if they are found to have concealed material facts. The Court upheld the lower court's decision, affirming the principle established in Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangthan v. Ram Ratan Yadav, which allows for such terminations in cases of misrepresentation.
