The Madras High Court affirmed that a transport corporation can discipline an employee for a road accident, despite previously denying liability in court. Rejecting the concept of a “model employer” in a litigious environment, the court ruled in favor of the State Express Transport Corporation’s right to take action against its driver. This decision came in response to a long-pending writ petition challenging the termination of a driver’s service since 2004.
