As per case facts, a Conductor was accused of collecting full fare but issuing tickets of lower value. She was initially removed from service, then reinstated with a punishment of ... postponed increments and the interim period being treated as 'Not on Duty'. This order was challenged. The question arose whether misconduct not explicitly listed in service rules could still warrant disciplinary action and if the imposed punishment was proportionate. Finally, the Court affirmed that the petitioner failed in her duties and committed serious misconduct by not issuing correct tickets after receiving the amount, breaching the corporation's trust. The Court emphasized that showing leniency in cases of corruption is against public interest, leading to the dismissal of the writ petition.
