Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the termination of the respondent's contractual appointment as a conductor was valid as per the terms of the contract, which allowed for termination without notice. The Court distinguished this case from Hari Ram Maurya v Union of India, emphasizing that the nature of the appointment was purely contractual and did not require adherence to the principles of natural justice. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's judgment was set aside, resulting in the dismissal of the respondent's writ petition.
