Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Central Industrial Tribunal which found that the domestic enquiry against the respondent was fair but concluded that the evidence did not support the finding of guilt. The Court reiterated the principle that while the right to take disciplinary action is a managerial function, judicial review is permissible if the findings are not supported by evidence. The dismissal of the respondent was set aside, affirming the Tribunal's award and restoring the respondent's position.
