#Corruption Charges

Bombay High Court clarifies that wages under Section 33(2)(b) of the Industrial Disputes Act must be paid as an additional amount, not adjusted against salary, for dismissal approval. The ruling emphasizes that minor procedural deficits should not override approval for grave misconduct like corruption, ensuring employers comply strictly with payment obligations.

Allahabad HC rules that mere pendency of corruption charges-without trial progress or substantive evidence-cannot justify denial of a passport No Objection Certificate. The judgment reinforces due process protections, ensuring administrative decisions are not based solely on unproven allegations.
