Rajasthan Srtc & Ors vs Mohar Singh

The Supreme Court held that the Civil Court has jurisdiction to entertain a suit challenging the dismissal of an employee under the Road Corporation Act, 1951, as the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act do not expressly bar such jurisdiction. The Court found the disciplinary proceedings against the respondent were conducted in violation of principles of natural justice, as he was not provided necessary documents or allowed to cross-examine witnesses. Consequently, the Court upheld the lower courts' decisions declaring the termination order illegal and reinstating the respondent with all monetary benefits.
