SHIV NATH vs GEN.SECY.,INDIAN RLY.CONFERENCE ASSN&ORS

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision, which set aside the first appellate court's judgment declaring the termination of the appellant as illegal. The Court found that the first appellate court had improperly re-appreciated evidence from the domestic enquiry, which was not warranted. The appellant's claim of not being given an opportunity to cross-examine witnesses was rejected, as he had been duly notified of the enquiry and chose not to participate, thus no violation of natural justice was found.
