Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Division Bench's order dated 9.8.2010, which stayed the termination of the respondent's service and allowed him to continue working, was illegal and without jurisdiction. The Court emphasized that the respondent was not in service at the time the writ petition was dismissed and found the Division Bench's decision to be made without proper application of mind. Consequently, the Court set aside the Division Bench's order and remitted the matter back for expedited disposal of the appeal.
