Jorsingh Govind Vanjari vs Divisional Controller Maharashtra ...

The Supreme Court upheld the Labour Court's decision to set aside the appellant's termination, finding that the domestic inquiry was conducted unfairly and violated principles of natural justice, as the inquiry officer was also the disciplinary authority. The Court noted that the respondent failed to prove the misconduct due to lack of evidence and witness examination. The Court affirmed the Labour Court's order granting service benefits up to the date of superannuation, but modified the compensation for back wages to 50 percent, as awarded by the High Court.
