Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the termination of the appellant's services by the Central Railside Warehouse Company Limited, confirming the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition challenging the termination. The Court noted that the appellant did not possess the requisite five years of experience as a Company Secretary as mandated by the job advertisement. The Court emphasized that mere duties performed in related roles do not equate to the required experience for the position, thus affirming the legality of the termination under the principles of employment law.
