Summary: The Principal District Judge of Udupi accepted the petitioner's memo and held that the burden of proof lies on the employer (respondent) to demonstrate the validity and propriety of the domestic enquiry that led to the employee's termination. The court directed the respondent to lead evidence at the first instance to prove the domestic enquiry was valid and proper, relying on the Supreme Court's judgment in Kurukshethra University vs. Pruthvi Singh (2018 4 SCC 483), which established that the validity of a domestic enquiry is a preliminary issue requiring management's evidence. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
