Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the lower courts' decisions, affirming that the respondent's removal from service was unjustified due to violations of principles of natural justice and lack of proper documentation during the disciplinary proceedings. The Court emphasized that the respondent was not provided with necessary documents, including the enquiry report, which constituted a breach of statutory provisions under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Consequently, the appeal by the Corporation was dismissed, reinforcing the legal principle that due process must be followed in disciplinary actions.
