Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed P. Santha Sargunadoss's appeal challenging his 1986 termination from Tamil Nadu Electricity Board for temporary misappropriation of consumer deposits. Although the Madras High Court had allowed his writ petition citing violation of natural justice (requested documents were not provided), the Supreme Court upheld the Division Bench's reversal, finding the non-supply of the internal audit report immaterial since the appellant was found guilty of five other charges and had sufficient opportunity to defend himself. The Court affirmed that temporary misappropriation of public money is a serious proven charge warranting no interference with the High Court's judgment.
