Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's decision to deny the appellant salary and terminal benefits for the intervening period after his discharge from service was unjustified. The Court emphasized that since the High Court found the discharge to be unsustainable, the appellant should be entitled to have the intervening period counted for terminal benefits. The Court directed that the appellant's intervening period of service must be considered for calculating terminal benefits, thereby overturning the High Court's ruling on this aspect.
