Pepsu Road Transport Corp vs Rawel Singh

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Labour Court and the High Court, affirming that the termination of the respondent-workman by Pepsu Road Transport Corporation was in violation of principles of natural justice and the Corporation's Service Rules. The Court emphasized that the workman was not given a fair opportunity to defend himself during the disciplinary proceedings, which warranted reinstatement. The Court ruled that the Corporation could conduct a fresh enquiry on the same charges, ensuring compliance with due process.
