Judgments - Departmental Enquiry
Supreme Court of India (Division Bench (DB)- Two Judge)
DIWAN SINGH Vs. L.I.C. & ORS.
This Court in a catena of judgments held that the loss of confidence is the primary factor and not the amount of money misappropriated and that the sympathy or generosity cannot be a factor which is impermissible in law. When an employee is found guilty of pilferage or of misappropriating the Corporation's funds, there is nothing wrong in the Corporation losing confidence or faith in such an employee Full Judgment
