Key legal question
Whether the appellate court’s factual findings that the employee committed the alleged misconduct were arbitrary
Extracted holding
No. The Supreme Court held the challenged findings were not arbitrary and must stand.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant relied on an earlier remittal decision and a different interpretation of the evidence, but the later judgment was based on a fuller evidentiary assessment. The prior comments did not bind the court on the merits of the misconduct allegations.
