Shri Azad Singh vs Delhi Transport Corporation on 27 February, 2015
In Rajinder Singh Vs. Delhi Transport Corporation (W.P (C) 8135/2006) decided by Honble High Court on 11.09.2014, again the petitioner was implicated in a criminal case and was charged for committing offence under Section 279 and 304A of Indian Penal Code. On being convicted and sentenced with penalty of rigorous imprisonment for one year and fine of Rs.4500 in the criminal case, he was dismissed from service. The plea raised by the petitioner in the Industrial Dispute was that the disciplinary action could have been taken against him only after disposal of his appeal against the conviction and the stringent penalty like termination/dismissal should not have been imposed upon him. Honble High Court rejected his appeal.
