Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Labour Court's decision to reinstate three conductors whose services were terminated by the appellant. The Court found that the enquiry conducted by the appellant was valid and proper, and the Labour Court's awards were justified based on the evidence presented. The Court rejected the appellant's argument that they were denied the opportunity to lead evidence, stating that the outcome would not have changed even if such an opportunity was granted, thus affirming the reinstatement orders.
