    Case Summary: WP/2035/2012 The Bombay High Court allowed the temple trust's writ petition, overturning the Industrial Court's decision that had reinstated the employee with back wages. The court held that the employee's termination during probation was justified due to loss of confidence following his admitted misconduct—concealing a Rs. 500 currency note while sorting donations—despite the lack of a formal departmental enquiry, reasoning that fairness takes different forms depending on appointment nature and the employer later justified the action through evidence before the Labour Court.
