In Brief
An employee of Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation challenged dismissal orders. The employee, who had reached superannuation age, faced allegations of indiscipline and absenteeism but no financial wrongdoing. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal in part, setting aside the High Court's judgment that dismissed the writ petition. The Court directed both parties to attempt amicable resolution through the High Court's Mediation Centre. If mediation succeeds, the parties must report to this Court; if unsuccessful, the Labour Court shall decide on merits without prejudging the case.
