Pant, JJ said that the Labour Court had been swayed away by the concept \u201cforgiveness is the economy of the heart\u201d and dominantly affected by the conception \u201cmercy among the virtues is like the moon among the stars\u201d but had totally ignored the basic principle that when the workman shatters the \u201cinstitutional trust\u201d and his act has the potentiality to corrode the faith and belief of the employer. It was further held that it is not the quantum per se but the breach of trust with reference to duty and obligation of the employee that must be the edifice of consideration for imposition of punishment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Holding that the Labour Court and High Court, both, have been at error by imposing a lesser punishment on the respondent whereas the only punishment, on establishment of the charges which have been accepted by the labour court, should have been dismissal and not a lesser one, the Court termed the respondent\u2019s act as reprehensible and further said that he had harboured the notion that when the cancerous growth has affected the system, he can further allow it to grow by covering it like an octopus, with its tentacles disallowing any kind of surgical operation or treatment so that the lesion continues. Restoring the dismissal order by the Corporation, the Court held that the respondent did not deserve any leniency. U.P. State Road Transport Corp. v.
