Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the termination of an employee convicted under Section 324 IPC for an offense involving moral turpitude, specifically an attack on a co-worker's wife. The Court held that the legal representatives of the deceased appellant should receive a monetary compensation of Rs. 3,00,000, considering the appellant's 13 years of service and the circumstances of the case. The judgment emphasized that it should not be treated as a precedent due to its unique facts.
