UNION OF INDIA Vs. LADDU SINGH

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS appeal has been preferred against the order dated 7. 3. 2006 passed by the learned Single Judge, who has been pleased to dismiss the writ petition holding therein that the enquiry held by the appellants-Union of India through the Western Railway against the respondent-workman was vitiated and therefore, an order was passed by the learned Member of the Central Government Industrial Tribunal that the appellants-Union of India and the respondent-workman will adduce evidence before the Tribunal, in order to arrive at a just conclusion, as to whether the termination of the respondent-workman was illegal or not.

(2.) IT appears that the respondent had been appointed in the Western Railway and after his appointment, he is alleged to have quit the job of his own after eight days of service. In this regard a Departmental Enquiry was conducted by the Western Railway against the respondent-workman, after which his services were terminated. the respondent-workman approached the Central Government and a reference was initiated, which was sent to the Industrial Tribunal for adjudication, to consider, as to whether the termination of the respondent-workman could be upheld and in case it was unjustified, he question had to be considered, whether he was entitled to any relief or not.
