In Brief
A government employee (Prem Ram) challenged his dismissal for misconduct involving drunkenness and misbehavior with the public. The High Court's Single Judge dismissed the writ petition. The Division Bench reversed this, allowing a Special Appeal. The Supreme Court held the Single Judge was correct to dismiss the petition and found no legal error in that order. The Court set aside the Division Bench's decision and restored the Single Judge's dismissal of the writ petition, affirming that the employee's dismissal was justified and not vulnerable to successful constitutional challenge.
