G.Tamil Vanan vs The Management, Schwing Stretter (India) Pvt. Ltd., Advocate - MR.G.Anandakrishnan, Mr.S. Haroon Al Rasheed, Mr.R. Karthik — 24/2022

Case Summary: G. Tamil Vanan v. The Management, Schwing Stretter (India) Pvt. Ltd. (I.D. 24/2022) Outcome: The court permitted internal inquiry proceedings to continue while maintaining that they must comply with natural justice principles and constitutional safeguards. The court rejected the petitioner's challenges regarding procedural irregularities in the investigation. Key Facts: The petitioner, a former employee, was terminated on December 6, 2019, following an internal inquiry. He alleged the company improperly received ₹1,30,000 from a third party (Nataraj Furniture) for a second-hand loader-concrete mixer sale without authorization, and that he was falsely implicated. The internal investigation proceeded through multiple inquiry officers and culminated in termination. The petitioner challenged the fairness and legality of the inquiry process. Court Finding: While noting procedural concerns, the court held that the inquiry process, though imperfect, was substantially compliant with due process requirements and should continue as it involves questions of fact requiring full investigation rather than legal determination at this stage.
