Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition challenging the High Court's order that disallowed the petitioner's application for condonation of delay and rejected the Second Review Petition. The Court emphasized that the right to access courts is not absolute and must be exercised responsibly, particularly in cases of repetitive and meritless litigation. The Court upheld the findings of the Central Government Industrial Tribunal regarding the petitioner's misconduct due to habitual unauthorized absences and confirmed the dismissal of the petitioner's review petitions as lacking merit.
