Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision reinstating Dr. Samrat Sharma, holding that the termination of his services was justified based on the findings of the Enquiry Committee which found him guilty of misconduct under the principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that the procedural safeguards were adhered to, including opportunities for defense and cross-examination. The judgment reinforces the authority of educational institutions to take disciplinary action against faculty members for misconduct, thereby upholding the termination order.
