Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the termination of the appellant's services violated the principles of natural justice as no charge-sheet or show cause notice was issued, and the enquiry did not indicate any guilt. The Court emphasized that the Industrial Tribunal failed to apply its mind to the facts, leading to an unsustainable decision. The appellant was entitled to reinstatement with continuity of service from the date of termination, as the enquiry was not directed against him and lacked necessary evidence to support the termination.
