Karnataka High Court Upholds Bus Conductor's Dismissal
Imagine a bus conductor who kept breaking the rules, like a student who kept getting in trouble.
The conductor had been written up over 65 times for doing things wrong.
One time, officials found passengers without tickets.
The bus company fired him because of his history of rule-breaking.
The conductor said it wasn't his fault.
The High Court looked at the case and agreed with the bus company, saying that firing the conductor was fair because he had a lot of previous problems.
Karnataka High Court upheld the dismissal of a KSRTC bus conductor.
The conductor had over 65 cases of misconduct on his record.
