Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Madras High Court, affirming the dismissal of the appellant's writ appeal challenging the punishment imposed by the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission. The Court found that the appellant, as an invigilator, failed to ensure the integrity of the examination process, leading to a serious breach of duty. The Court held that the disciplinary action taken against the appellant was justified under the relevant service rules, thereby dismissing the appeal.
