JUDGMENT 1. - The aforesaid writ petition is directed against the rejection of the application under Section 33(2)(b) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (hereinafter referred to as the Act of 1947') 2. Vide charge sheet dated 28.7.1998 the charge levelled against the workman was that 22 passengers were found without ticket and the workman had already collected fare from them. The workman also misbehaved inspecting party. 3. After enquiry the workman was dismissed from service on 3.7.2000. Since there was a reference pending before the Industrial Tribunal, therefore, approval application was filed. On 15.6.2002 the Domestic Enquiry which relates to the charge No. 1 was held fair but so far as the charge Nos. 2 and 3 are concerned, it was held to be unfair. Consequently the charges were not found proved against the workman. The permission was granted to the management to prove charge No. 1 and 2. Ultimately on the basis of evidence on record, the application filed by the Corporation under Section 33(2)(b) of the Act of 1947 was rejected. 2 and 3 are concerned, it was held to be unfair. Consequently the charges were not found proved against the workman. The permission was granted to the management to prove charge No. 1 and 2. Ultimately on the basis of evidence on record, the application filed by the Corporation under Section 33(2)(b) of the Act of 1947 was rejected. The relevant portion of the order of the Tribunal is reproduced hereunder : " 7- tgkWa rd vkjksi la[;k 1 dk iz'u gS] ftlds ckjs esa tkap dks 'kq) ?kksf"kr fd;k gS] ;g vkjksi fuEu izdkj gS & vki }kjk fuxe fu;eksa dh vogsyuk dj fcuk leLr ;kf=;ksa ds fVdV dkVs] os fcy esa bUnzkt fd;s ,oa os fcy pkyd dks lkSais fcuk gh okgu dks izLFkku djk;kA 8- bl vkjksi ds lEcU/k esa ;g ns[kk tkuk gS fd D;k tkap vf/kdkjh }kjk dh xbZ fjiksVZ fof/kd lk{;
