This writ petition challenges the order dated 11th October, 2002 justifying the termination of services of respondent No. 1 upon the validity of enquiry having been held against the petitioner\/DTC. The Industrial Tribunal permitted the petitioner\/DTC to lead evidence. Evidence was led accordingly. The Industrial Tribunal has found that the case of the petitioner is based upon the statement of passenger witnesses who had contradicted the stand of the petitioner. The case of the petitioner was that the respondent had not returned the excess money to the passengeRs. Both the passengers who deposed had admitted that they were told by the conductor that they will be returned money before disembarkation and in fact supported such a stand taken by the respondent. In this view of the matter apart from the fact that the order is based on statements of witnesses, even the evidence of DTC contradicts the stand taken by it. Therefore, there is no merit in the writ petition and it is dismissed accordingly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi High Court D.T.C. vs Dharam Pal Gupta on 25 September, 2003 Author: M Mudgal Bench: M Mudgal JUDGMENT Mukul Mudgal, J. 1.
