Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the termination of the appellant's service was unjustified as it was based on an Enquiry Report that failed to substantiate the allegations of misconduct. The Court emphasized that the principles of natural justice were violated, particularly as the appellant was not given a fair opportunity to defend himself before termination. The Court ruled in favor of the appellant, reinstating him and directing the respondent-Company to pay the withheld pensionary and other monetary benefits, thereby upholding the rights of employees under Article 21 of the Constitution.
