As per case facts, the Respondent, a driver for MTNL, was terminated for unauthorized vehicle use after a domestic inquiry. The Labour Court later ruled the termination illegal, ordering reinstatement ... without back wages, despite upholding the inquiry's fairness. The Petitioner/Management filed a Writ Petition challenging this Award. The question arose whether the Labour Court could interfere with inquiry findings after validating the inquiry's fairness and if its interference, based on reassessing evidence, constituted an excess of jurisdiction. Finally, the High Court held that the Labour Court exceeded its jurisdiction by re-appreciating evidence without finding perversity or absence of evidence. The impugned Award was set aside, and the original termination Order was restored, with interim payments non-recoverable.
