JUDGMENT Heard learned counsel for the petitioner on admission. The petitioner has filed this petition against the order dated 31. 7.2002 (Annexure-P-1) of the Industrial Court, Bhopal passed in Appeal No. 750/MPIR/94 by which the Industrial Court has set aside the order of the Labour Court dated 1.12.1994 passed in Case No. 202/MPIR/92. The petitioner is a conductor in the respondent M.P. State Road Transport Corporation. As submitted by the learned counsel, the petitioner was on duty on 12.11.1991 on route Nainpur-Jabalpur, when the bus of the petitioner was checked after it had left Bijadandi, it was found that 43 passengers were travelling without ticket. At the behest of the petitioner, a preliminary enquiry was held in which, as per the learned counsel, the petitioner was not found guilty but still a regular notice (charge sheet) was issued to the petitioner to hold a regular enquiry. The petitioner, therefore, challenged the charge sheet before the Labour Court which quashed it but on appeal the Industrial Court has set aside the order passed by the Labour Court. The Industrial Court has observed that there was no provision for holding a preliminary enquiry and that even if a preliminary enquiry was held for the personal satisfaction of the disciplinary authority, the disciplinary authority could proceed with a regular enquiry irrespective of the outcome of preliminary enquiry in which the petitioner will have the full opportunity of meeting the charges and raising all defences. Learned counsel for the petitioner has not been able to show as to under what provision the preliminary enquiry was conducted. Learned counsel has further not been able to demonstrate that the result of the preliminary enquiry had the effect of divesting the disciplinary authority of the power to issue a charge sheet to the petitioner in relation to the allegation of misconduct against him. There does not appear any substance in the petition. The petition is, accordingly, dismissed summarily.
