THE DEPOT MANAGER APSRTC vs M. MARUTHI

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a review petition challenging the Division Bench's order in Writ Appeal No. 144 of 2013, which had confirmed the termination of a contract conductor's service after a departmental enquiry under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The Court emphasized that the earlier judgment relied upon by the Single Judge was not applicable as the present case involved a proper enquiry, distinguishing it from the previous case where termination occurred without an enquiry. The Court affirmed the Division Bench's decision to dismiss the review application, thereby maintaining the order of termination.
