Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court directing the Corporation to grant continuity of service to the workman from the date of termination until re-engagement, as per the principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that the earlier judgment, which found the enquiry against the workman inadequate, was applicable, and the workman should not be deprived of continuity of service benefits for regularization purposes. The appeal by the Corporation was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling without monetary benefits for the intervening period.
