Delhi Transport Corporation vs Shyam Lal

The Supreme Court examined the legality of the Delhi High Court's judgment regarding the dismissal of a conductor for misconduct under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, specifically Section 33(2)(b). The Court held that the Tribunal's rejection of the employer's approval for dismissal was incorrect, emphasizing that admissions made by the workman were significant evidence. The Supreme Court quashed the High Court's judgment and remitted the case for fresh consideration, asserting that the Division Bench had erred by conflating this case with unrelated matters of unauthorized absence.
