Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the termination of an employee by Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited on grounds of suppression of material facts during the recruitment process. The court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the termination order, emphasizing that the employee's conviction and penalty were not relevant to the job applied for at the time of recruitment. The court ruled that the termination was unjustified as the employee had not concealed any facts that would have disqualified him from the position.
