Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to reinstate a Panchayat Assistant who was dismissed for alleged misconduct involving misappropriation of funds. The court found that the initial inquiry was flawed and lacked proper procedure, leading to the conclusion that the dismissal was unjustified. Consequently, the court directed the appellant to reinstate the respondent and pay the due arrears.
