M/s. Tata Advanced Systems Limited v. R. Ambareesha.
Case brief
What is this about?
The Telangana High Court dismissed batch writ petitions filed by Tata management seeking quashing of Labour Court orders that permitted workmen to admit evidence proving victimization. The Court held that such evidence relates to the merits of the misconduct charge and is not 'fresh evidence' barred by the proviso to Section 11(A) of the ID Act, which only restricts evidence for proving misconduct
What did the court decide?
Writ petitions seeking quashing of Labour Court orders permitting workmen to lead evidence on victimization were dismissed; no order as to costs.
