GIRISH BHUSHAN GOYAL vs B.H.E.L

The Supreme Court held that the termination of the appellant's service was unjustified as it was based on an inquiry that did not substantiate the alleged loss of Rs. 35 lakhs. The Court emphasized that the principles of natural justice were not adhered to, particularly since the appellant was not given a fair opportunity to defend himself before the termination. The Court set aside the High Court's orders and directed the respondent-Company to reinstate the appellant and grant him all due pensionary benefits.
