K.Velusamy vs The Labour Court on 15 December, 2008
21. Mere sympathy, devoid of merits, would not be sufficient for the labour Court to reduce the punishment imposed on the petitioner, as held by the Supreme Court in MAHINDRA & MAHINDRA LTD., Vs. N.B.NARAVADE (2005-I-LLJ 1129). Therefore, the contentions raised on behalf of the petitioner cannot be accepted.
