A Chandigarh court has upheld the dismissal order of a Haryana Roadways conductor. The case dates back to 16 October 2007, when the flying squad team of the Chandigarh depot caught a ticket scam.

During the investigation, old tickets amounting to Rs 8,414 were recovered from conductor Deepchand. Acting on this, the department suspended him and issued a chargesheet on 7 November 2007.
