Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the respondent's concealment of his brothers' employment with Bongaigaon Refinery & Petrochemicals Ltd. violated the conditions of his appointment, leading to the withdrawal of his job offer. The Court emphasized that the respondent's declaration in the attestation form was critical, and failure to disclose relevant information justified the company's decision under the principles of natural justice. The Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition, affirming that the respondent was not entitled to relief under Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, as he had not joined the service and thus was not a workman entitled to raise a dispute.
