Supreme Court orders retirement for corrupt LIC cashier who embezzled Rs 533

No sensitivity ought to be indicated to any legislature representative enjoying debasement and the individual ought to be released from his occupation, the Supreme Court has held while granting obligatory retirement to a Life Insurance Corporation of India clerk for abusing Rs 533 twenty-five years back.
A seat of judges Vikramajit Sen and Prafulla C Pant said misappropriation of little sum can’t be a ground for honoring lighter discipline.
It said that any sensitivity indicated to the denounced in such cases is uncalled for and restricted to open investment.
“The sum abused may be little or vast, it is the demonstration of misappropriation that is significant,” the seat said including, “Over and over, this court has reliably held that in such matters no sensitivity ought to be indicated by the courts”.
It said that the discipline of necessary retirement is not cruel or awry to the blame for the situation.
For this situation a strategy holder had kept with Rs 533 with the clerk towards half-yearly protection premium in 1990 yet it was not saved with the LIC. At the point when a request was started, the clerk kept the sum with a back dated passage following three months.
