Shiv Nath vs Gen.Secy.,Indian Rly.Conference ...

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the first appellate Court's judgment, which had declared the termination of the appellant illegal. The Court found that the first appellate Court improperly re-appreciated evidence from the domestic enquiry, which was not warranted. The appellant's claim of not being able to cross-examine witnesses was dismissed as he had prior knowledge of the enquiry and chose not to participate, thus no violation of natural justice was found.
