Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to dismiss the plaintiff's suit for salary from November 2, 1995, to March 30, 2001, based on the principles established in Union of India vs. K.V. Jankiraman (AIR 1991 SC 2010). The Court clarified that there is no automatic entitlement to salary for employees exonerated from disciplinary proceedings, especially when acquittal is on the benefit of doubt. The Court found that the plaintiff had only worked for a limited period and was not entitled to the claimed salary, affirming the High Court's ruling.
