    The Bombay High Court dismissed the writ petition and upheld the Labour Court's decision that the domestic enquiry against the petitioner was fair and the misconduct findings were not perverse. The court found that despite procedural gaps (absence of documentary proof of locker allotment, inconsistencies in the panchanama, and improper evidence handling), the circumstantial evidence—including the petitioner's admission that his apron was found in the locker and his possession of keys—sufficiently established unauthorized possession of company materials, meeting the preponderance of probabilities standard required in labour disputes.
