Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Industrial Tribunal to reinstate the respondent, Gajadhar Nath, who was removed from service as a conductor due to alleged misconduct. The Tribunal found that the domestic inquiry against him was not conducted fairly, leading to the conclusion that the dismissal was unjustified. The court affirmed the Tribunal's order for reinstatement and payment of 50% of the salary for the period of unemployment.
