Managing Director Ecil Hyderabad Etc. ... vs B. Karunakar Etc. Etc on 1 October, 1993
In ECIL v. B. Karunakar, this
Court held that where the punishment awarded
by the disciplinary authority is quashed by the
court/tribunal on some technical ground, the au-
thority must be given an opportunity to conduct
the enquiry afresh from the stage where it stood
before the alleged vulnerability surfaced. How-
ever, for the purpose of holding fresh enquiry, the
delinquent is to be reinstated and may be put un-
der suspension. The question of back wages, etc.
is determined by the disciplinary authority in ac-
cordance with law after the fresh enquiry is con-
cluded.
