Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the School Tribunal's decision to condone the delay in filing the appeal against the oral termination of the appellant was justified, as the appellant had satisfactorily explained the delay through continuous correspondence with the institution. The Court emphasized the importance of ensuring that employees are not denied their rights due to procedural delays, particularly in service matters. The High Court's order setting aside the Tribunal's decision was thus overturned, allowing the appellant to pursue his appeal.
