M C GUPTA Vs. LABOUR COURT MEERUT

JUDGEMENT

(1.) M. Katju, J. This writ petition has been filed against the impugned award of the Labour Court, Meerut, dated 27-2- 82 as well as earlier award of the Labour Court, Meerut, dated 23-9-81.

(2.) HEARD learned Counsel for the par ties.

(3.) LEARNED Counsel for the petitioner relied on the decision of the Supreme Court in Ram Krishan v. Union of India & Ors. , AIR 1996 SC 255, and contended that the punishment of dismissal was dis proportionate to the offence. In my opinion whether abusive language can be a good ground for dismissal or not will depend on the entire circumstances and the context in which such language was used e. g. against whom was it used, the exact words used, in what circumstances it was used, etc. There cannot be an absolute proposition that abusive language can never be a ground for dismissal and it will all depend on the facts and circumstances of the case.
