Amar Chakravarty & Ors vs Maruti Suzuki India Limited

The Supreme Court held that under Section 10(1)(c) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the burden of proof regarding the justification of termination lies with the management, not the workman. The Court found that the Labour Court's decision to shift the onus of proof to the workman was erroneous and contrary to established principles of labour law. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the Labour Court's order and restored the original burden of proof on the management.
