Himanshu Bhatt vs Indian Railway Catering And Tourism ... on 27 August, 2013
11. Ld. ARW argued alternatively on this issue. His first
argument is that service of the claimant was terminated on the basis
of misconduct without conducting any enquiry. He referred to
termination letter to show that his service had come to an end due to
habitually violating the traffic rules. The management was required
to conduct enquiry which it did not and hence termination is bad in
law. He relied upon (1). Himanshu Bhatt Vs. Indian Railway
Catering and Tourism Corporation & Ors., LPA 881/2013, decided
on 28.09.2015 and (2) V.P. Ahuja Vs. State of Punjab & Ors.
decided on 09.03.2000. Alternatively, he argued that even if service
of the claimant was not terminated on misconduct, the termination
letter is definitely founded on the allegations of misconduct.
