The petitioner was working as a Bus Conductor under the respondent for about two years. Prior to the date of dismissal, he was proceeded with a departmental enquiry for a shortage of Rs.14.60. The Enquiring Officer held that the misconduct was proved. During his short service of two years, he was cautioned for similar shortage once in the past. The order of the Labour Court was partly in favour of the employee but the Industrial Court has ultimately upheld the punishment of dismissal by its order passed way back on 25th April 1996. The petition is filed nine years thereafter i.e. in August 2005. It is not a matter wherein this Court would interfere either on merits or even in view of this delay. 2. Petition is dismissed.
