SUMMARY The petitioner's memo was accepted. The tribunal directed the respondent-employer to lead evidence first to prove that the domestic enquiry conducted against the petitioner was valid and proper, following Supreme Court precedent (Kurukshethra University v. Pruthvi Singh) which places the burden of proof on the management, not the employee. The validity of the domestic enquiry is a preliminary issue that must be decided at the first instance before considering the appropriateness of the termination sentence. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
