Headnote | Service law: Disciplinary proceedings - Misappropriation of funds - Enquiry - Delinquent employee remaining absent during the enquiry - Number of adjournments - No intimation from employee about absence - Enquiry officer recording evidence on behalf of management and finding the employee guilty - Disciplinary officer passing order of dismissal - In appeal there against, employee admitting guilt - Dismissal of appeal - Industrial dispute - Tribunal holding that the domestic enquiry held against the employee suffered from violation of principles of natural justice and enquiry officer ought to have made enquiry from the management about the alleged letter sent by employee for seeking adjournment and given another opportunity to him to lead evidence in rebuttal - Writ petition filed by management dismissed by High Court - On appeal, held: Both the reasons assigned by the Tribunal for condemning the departmental enquiry as defective were completely untenable - Principles of natural justice cannot be stretched to a point where they would render the in-house proceedings unworkable - Admittedly, the employee had not appeared for the enquiry on two earlier dates - On the third date too he was absent and there was no intimation from him before the Enquiry Officer - Employee had already tendered two admissions of guilt and there was hardly anything that could be said on his behalf to repel the charges - Tribunal's findings were wholly unreasonable and perverse - High Court, unfortunately, did not consider the matter in the right perspective - The order passed by the High Court and the award made by the Tribunal set aside - Natural justice. |

It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT).

It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources.
