R.S. Misra vs Union Of India And Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Delhi High Court's dismissal of the appellant's application for salary from 5.11.2003 to 24.1.2006 following his termination under Article 81(b) of the Education Code. The Court held that the appellant's reinstatement was valid, but the period of non-service was justifiably treated as 'dies-non', thus denying salary for that period. The Court emphasized that the appellant had been given due process in the disciplinary proceedings leading to his termination, affirming the High Court's decision.
