It cannot reappreciate evidence like an appellate court, but it may disregard enquiry findings that are perverse, meaning unsupported by legal evidence. Here, key findings rested on hearsay, conjecture, and unproved prior statements, while crucial facts on the charges lacked evidentiary support. The Tribunal was therefore justified in refusing approval, and the dismissal could not be sustained on those enquiry findings. en-us Tue, 20 Aug 1968 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 18 May 2016 13:01:32 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=182718 In proceedings for approval of dismissal under section 33(2)(b) of the Industrial Disputes Act, the Tribunal's role is limited to examining whether the domestic enquiry was proper, natural justice was observed, the employer acted bona fide, and a prima facie case exists.
