Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the termination of employees Kailash Singh and Jeffry Jobard from Mayo College, Ajmer, under the principles of service law. The Court held that the actions of the employees, which included instigating protests and creating disturbances during an important institutional event, justified their termination under the doctrine of misconduct. The Court upheld the decision of the Managing Committee, affirming that the institution's reputation and functioning were paramount, and thus the terminations were lawful and justified.
