Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Industrial Tribunal to reinstate the workman, Gajadhar Nath, who had been dismissed for misconduct. The court found that the domestic inquiry conducted by the employer was not fair and proper, thereby justifying the Tribunal's order for reinstatement and payment of 50% of the salary for the period of unemployment. The appeal by the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation was dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's findings.
