Industrial Disputes Act | Proof of Forgery Mandatory in Domestic Enquiry; Suspicion Insufficient for Termination : Bombay HC

The ruling reinforces that concrete evidence, not conjecture, is required to establish misconduct in disciplinary proceedings under the Industrial Disputes Act, directly impacting employer obligations in labour disputes.
