DEPOT MANAGER, APSRTC MEDCHAL BUS DEPOT vs R. K. REDDY

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's decision to reinstate a contract driver without considering the specific facts of the case was erroneous. The Court emphasized that the learned Single Judge's reliance on a prior case without proper application to the current facts led to a flawed judgment. Consequently, the Supreme Court quashed the High Court's order and set aside the reinstatement, affirming the validity of the departmental enquiry conducted against the driver.
