| Decision |
The appeal against the dismissal of the appellant for misconduct, specifically embezzlement, has been reviewed. The allegations include that the appellant, a bus conductor, misappropriated bus fare in connivance with a checker. Evidence was presented, including statements from ticketless passengers and a bus driver's testimony, which implicated both the appellant and the checker. However, the inquiry against the checker is still pending. The court found that the dismissal of the appellant was justified based on the evidence and upheld the decision of the lower court, dismissing the appeal. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around an industrial dispute concerning the dismissal of a bus conductor for alleged embezzlement of bus fare. The appellant was accused of failing to issue tickets to passengers while collecting fare, alongside a checker. The inquiry revealed that statements from passengers and the bus driver implicated the appellant. Despite the ongoing inquiry against the checker, the court upheld the dismissal of the appellant, reiterating the evidence presented against him. The ruling emphasizes the importance of maintaining integrity within the transport service and the legal processes governing employee misconduct. Keywords such as 'industrial dispute', 'dismissal for misconduct', 'embezzlement', and 'transport service integrity' are essential for understanding and ranking this case in legal discussions. |
