CASE SUMMARY: The Labour Court, Bhandara rejected an interim relief application filed by bus conductor Ramkrushna Nikhade under Section 30(2) of the Maharashtra Recognition of Trade Unions and Prevention of Unfair Labour Practices Act, 1971. The court found no prima facie case, no balance of convenience in the complainant's favor, and no irreparable loss, as the complainant can be reinstated with back wages if he succeeds in the main complaint. The allegations of misappropriation (failing to issue a ticket for Rs. 10 recovered from a passenger) were deemed serious misconduct involving breach of trust, and the departmental enquiry was found to have followed principles of natural justice.
