Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the legality of the termination of a government school clerk, Naresh Kumar Sinha, whose appointment was challenged on the grounds of alleged forgery. The High Court had dismissed the appellant's challenge to his termination order, and the Supreme Court upheld this decision, emphasizing the importance of procedural fairness and proper verification of appointment documents. The Court affirmed that termination without proper inquiry or evidence of forgery is justified if the employer follows due process. The case underscores the significance of procedural correctness in employment disputes involving allegations of forgery.
